Description:
This tune was written by the Gershwins for the 1932 film 'Girl Crazy'. Ella Fitzgerald revisited the song on her 1959 Gershwin Songbook album, the arrangement being written by Nelson Riddle. We have transcribed it here for you and have scored the vocal line exactly 'as sung' by Ella. The chart is a medium tempo swinger consisting of inro, vocal chorus, instrumental bridge and closing vocal chorus. At just over two minutes it is not a long chart, though it is full of punch and clever writing by Riddle in his prime. There are no sax doubles and the vocal key is C throughout.
