musical Ziegfeld Show Girl. Words by George Gershwin, lyrics by

The first lyricist to win a Pulitzer Prize (1932, Of Thee I Sing), Ira
Gershwin (1896-1983) wrote the lyrics to a number of the songs by his older
brother, George, including "Liza", beginning in 1924 for the musical Lady
Be Good. In 1931, the brothers wrote for their first Hollywood musical,
Delicious. After George's death in 1937, Ira worked with a number of
other composers, including Jerome Kern (Cover Girl, 1944) and Harold
Arlen (the musical remake of A Star is Born, 1954). Nominated for
Academy Awards for Best Song in 1937 (Shall We Dance?), 1944
(Cover Girl) and 1954 (A Star is Born), Ira also wrote lyrics or
the music score for a number of other feature films, including An American in
Paris (1951), The Country Girl (1954) and Funny Face (1957).
