Comment:

Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, George & Ira Gershwin. In the twenties and thirties, these guys were the business. They wrote some of the greatest and most enduring music/lyrics of their generation. Songs which are still familiar to us today. Hopefully you will all enjoy six selections from each of them, by some of the greatest artists of that bygone era.
