The Man I Love
Composers:- Gershwin, George
- Myron, Tom
Duration: 3
Description:
The Man I Love is a classic American standard with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by his brother Ira. It was originally part of the 1924 score for the Gershwin musical comedy Oh, Lady, Be Good!. The song was deleted from that show and put into the Gershwins’ 1927 government satire Strike Up the Band, where it appears as both The Man I Love and The Girl I Love. Popular recordings in 1920s were by Marion Harris; Sophie Tucker; Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra (vocal by Vaughn De Leath); and by Fred Rich and His Orchestra (vocal also by Vaughn De Leath). As with many standards from that era, it has become far more famous as a stand-alone popular song than as one from a Broadway musical. This symphonic arrangement of The Man I Love by Tom Myron is based on George Gershwin’s original piano-vocal and solo piano versions of the song. The style of orchestration is meant to strongly evoke the symphonic world of pre-War Broadway and Golden Age Hollywood.
