"NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT" -- PETER LEVIN

"Nice Work If You Can Get It" was composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It all began in 1930 as a nine-bar phrase with the working title "There's No Stopping Me Now". Its title phrase "Nice work if you can get it" came from an English magazine. It was one of nine songs the Gershwin brothers wrote for the movie A Damsel in Distress in which it was performed by Fred Astaire with backing vocals by The Stafford Sisters. Bandit Covers; Sarah Vaughan's arrangement. Thanks for watching! Sincerely, Peter Levin.
