Ira Gershwin Book order (chronological)
Ira Gershwin was an American lyricist whose mastery of wordcraft, marked by wit and precision, shaped some of the 20th century's most enduring songs. His creative role, often overshadowed by his composer brother's fame, continued with collaborations alongside other prominent composers after his brother's untimely passing. Gershwin's critically acclaimed collection, Lyrics on Several Occasions, serves as a vital resource for understanding the art of the lyricist during the golden age of American popular song.
