Episode 175: THE OTHER GERSHWIN, part 3, with MICHAEL OWEN


Listen Later

This is the third and final segment of my conversation with Michael Owen, author of the recent book,  Ira Gershwin — A Life in Words.

On this episode, Michael and I focus on the period of Ira Gershwin’s career

following the death of his brother George, during which he had success on
Broadway and in Hollywood with composers such as Kurt Weill, Jerome Kern, Arthur Schwartz, and Harold Arlen, and shows and movies such as Lady In the Dark, The Barkleys Of Broadway, and A Star Is Born,

If you missed the first two parts in this series, you may

want to catch up with those before listening to this one.
