Working with novelist and poet DuBose Heyward, they created the great American opera Porgy and Bess. Additionally, George Gershwin composed several singularly American concert works, including An American in Paris and Rhapsody In Blue, and both brothers produced many distinguished songs working with other collaborators. The George and Ira Gershwin Collection contains music manuscripts, handwritten and typewritten lyric sheets, printed music, correspondence, photographs, programs and publicity materials, legal and financial documents, and thirty-one scrapbooks, which present nearly a complete record of the Gershwins' lives and work as they were chronicled in the contemporary press.

The victory was the tightest since Artie Shaw topped King Benny for 1938s crown in that department. Almost as close was Tommy Dorsey’s lead over Glenn Miller for the sweet band lead. Tommy’s crown was re-acquired in the year of his string addition despite many adverse comments from the critics on the style change. Tommy held the crown in 1939 and then bowed to Glenn for the 1940 and 1941 seasons to recapture the coveted award again this year.1 January 1, 1943 (Fri) 10:30 - 11:00 pm Hollywood Palladium (KNX) (Local) (Sustaining) January 2, 1943 (Sat) M-G-M Studios Culver City, California Soundtrack Recording Session M-G-M Film Production “Girl Crazy” I GOT RHYTHM (Ira Gershwin-George Gershwin) Vocal refrain by Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Six Hits And A Miss, The Music Maids, Hal Hopper, Trudy Erwin, Barbara Canvin and the M-G-M Studio Chorus Continued from of December 29, 1942 recording session Also continued to February 2, 1943 recording session CD: Rhino R2 72732, R2 75290 January
