George and Ira Gershwin, c. 1937 (Library of Congress loc.gov 2025386344)

Our weekly sojourn through Studs Terkel’s programs of yesteryear brings us to his great love of the musical output of the brothers Gershwin. In this WFMT broadcast from 1979, complete with the snap and crackle of well worn record albums, Studs explores the work of composer George Gershwin (1898–1937) and lyricist Ira Gershwin (1896–1983).
