The first time I recall hearing this song was January 1972. I can pinpoint the date because it was part of a tribute to the Gershwin Brothers that was hosted by Jack Lemmon. I was15 years old. My dad was a long standing Gershwin fan and owned 78 RPM records of An American In Paris and Rhapsody in Blue. This song in particular stood out for me. I became a lifelong fan right then and there. Hearing Jessie sing it is so special to me. Every September I post videos of songs that remind me of my late once and forever bride, Vera. This one will be on it this year for certain. Breathtaking.

She nailed it! Such beautiful melody deserves a soft, kind, gentle and romantic rendition. Sometimes less is more in music.

"Soft, kind, gentle and romantic" certainly doesn't describe the brittle, witty, clipped, cosmopolitan style of Gertrude Lawrence, who introduced this song in the original productions in NYC (1926) and London (1927)... which makes me wonder what the Gershwins' original conception of this song was.
