[Dixielandjazz] The Oscars' Disgraceful Nominees for Best Song

[Bert Brandsma]

Where did George Gerswin write those supposed original film songs then in the 1940's? In heaven?  
Only things especialy for film he made was in 1937 (last year of his life) Shall We Dance and A Damsel in Distress. As far as I know.   He made loads of Broadway Musicals, and the songs were later often used in films, but that is really something different I guess.He didn't write Rhapsody In Blue for the movie Delicious, he wrote it for the concert hall!
