Gershwin

He has so many good compositions its a bit overwhelming.

my favourite has to be Summertime though.

Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald have great versions but Im a sucker for a good Soprano!

Something about the high voice combined with the tension in the strings is a killer.

Discuss Gershwin.......

EDIT: Peter Gabriel does a good one too.

gershwin is great. i don't know titles but songs like rhapsody in blue

One of the quintessential American composers...how can you not love his shit?
