Tin Pan Alley Goes West

JeanNine's post title inspired this musical choice.

George and Ira Gershwin in Hollywood. There are a lot of great songs included in this two-disc set, including Fascinatin' Rhythm, S'Wonderful, Shall We Dance, and Let's Call the Whole Thing Off. The liner notes contain some inside-Hollywod gossip of the time, including a highly-opinionated indictment of the Sam Goldwyn production of Porgy and Bess. Fun stuff.
