This day in music history.

October 14, 1930, George and Ira Gershwin's play "Girl Crazy" premiered on Broadway. Girl Crazy went on for 272 performances. In the cast, making her Broadway debut was Ethel Merman. Her rendition of "I Got Rhythm" was a show-stopper, During the intermission, George Gershwin left the orchestra pit and charged up to her dressing room. "Ethel, do you know what you're doing?" he asked. She said "no", he said "Well, never go near a singing teacher and never forget your shorthand." through the next four decades she captivated audience's. A reporter once told her she had one of the all time greatest voices and she said " "Hell, I just sing! I open my mouth and it happens, what can I tell you?"
I Got Rhythm from Girl Crazy
Days can be sunny,With never a sigh ; Don't need what money can buy.
Birds in the tree sing Their dayful of song, Why shouldn't we sing along?
I'm chipper all the day, Happy with my lot .How do I get that way?
Look at what I've got :
I got rhythm
I got music
I got my man/girl
Who could ask for anything more ?
I got daisies
In green pastures,
I got my man/girl
Who could ask for anything more ?
Ol'Man Trouble , I don't mind him .You won't find him
'Round my door.
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams,
I got my man/girl,
Who could ask for anything more ?
