Dupont’s Summer Cavalcade of Music were scheduled to feature Gershwin’s music the following week but as a special tribute to the young man whose tunes brought joy to America, this show was broadcast on the 14th July 1937. Gershwin lifted our popular music to a new level as the leading interpreter for what was called the Jazz idiom. Not all great Americans were born long ago.

It seems only yesterday that he sat at his piano and composed the melodies that the nation sings today. He devoted himself and the passionate fire of his heart to American music and American music was enriched because of him. His name recalls first a chord, then a tinkling tin pan ally tune and finally an opera, Porgy And Bess. His name – George Gershwin… |
