A journey to greatness: The life and music of George Gershwin / David Ewen - New York Henry Holt and Company 1956 - 384 p.
When George Gershwin died suddenly in 1937, at the age of thirty eight, he was without question one of the most successful composers America has produced. His music - Porgy and Bess, Rhapsody in Blue, Lady be Good, Of Thee I Sing, Girl Crazy, and many, many more - had been acclaimed by serious music critics, was being sung, whistled, and played by millions the world over. Yet not even Gershwin's staunchest admirers could have forseen how his popularity and artistic stature were to grow in the years that followed.
