The second of a three-part program paying tribute to renowned lyricist Ira Gershwin on what would have been his 86th birthday. While Gershwin is perhaps best known for the songs he wrote with his brother George, this program focuses on his collaborations with other composers, including Harold Arlen, Burton Lane, and Kurt Weill.

Featured songs: “Sweet So and So”, “In the Merry Month of Maybe”, “The Greatest Show on Earth”, “The Best Years of His Life”, “Tschaikowsky (and Other Russians)”, and “The Saga of Jenny”.

Originally produced and broadcast in 1982. For more information go to ⁠AnythingGoesPL.com⁠ or BPN.FM/Anything Goes. Theme music arranged by Bruce Coughlin.  Anything Goes – Backstage with Broadway’s Best – is produced and hosted by Paul Lazarus. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
