Liza 1929
George Gershwin (m) Ira Gershwin (w)
From show “Show Girl”

This was a minstrel number in the show, sung by Nick Lucas and danced by Ruby Keeler. This was also the show that Al Jolson sang from the audience (supposedly) to give his new wife Ruby confidence! It is by Al Jolson dubbing for Larry Parks in the 1946 film “The Jolson Story.”
