i think some of the most beautiful music coms from the time when musical theatre and opera crossed paths, this is definitely an example. ( : Gershwin is an opera lord xD

That lady lit that up like the fourth of July- sing mama!

Outside of singing "summertime: during the actual musical - when the role is played by an African American women - I fail to see the significance of the race of the person singing it during any other situation. The composer is not African American, and that did not disqualify him from creating this beautiful song.

WOW! Terrific. Gershwin was a genius. His music is "one of kind" and can never be duplicated.
-
I agree. I like the fact the opera, operetta, and musical theater are immediate neighbors on the musical spectrum.
I see no need to reject the one merely because I like the other.
Bernstein's "West Side Story" could also be placed in the same crossover category

I love playing this on the clarinet! I can't help but sway when I play and listen to this master piece.

@LadyBlueFeather Sorry, something happened when I uploaded the video and it ended up in mono.... It makes me angry now to try to upload it again because I will lose all the hits... I might upload it again anyway.
