    George Gershwin's contribution to the blend of classical, jazz, and popular music in the American songbook may know no equal. Almost everybody knows the opening of Rhapsody in Blue, even if they can't name the composition.
    His brother Ira provided lyrics for timeless classics as I've Got Rhythm
