This was the last song George Gershwin wrote before he died, it was 1938 and he was 38 years old. Words by his brother, the wonderful Ira Gershwin, who finished the song after George's death.
This girl is incredible, not only her voice and guitar playing that are so expressive but the open smile on her face, the beguiling eyes and her joyful humour. I hope one day to see her live in concert, till then I’m hooked on her videos, so please keep them coming.
Truer words have never been spoken I'm cut from the same cloth as her I'm in my twenties but I'm an old soul at heart the music the clothes everything from the 40s 50s and early 60s for my dad that was his childhood adulthood the whole deal he thought it was cool so as far as I was concerned it must be cool 😎😊
I'm going to share this channel with everyone who will listen to me. People, hear me! This girl is singing her heart out on youtube! She deserves more attention! It's so good to see young people with talent doing something with it. It must be rewarded!
It just...I'm at loss of words here...it's the first time I'm gonna say this... TOO DAMN CUTE! It's almost impossible to bear. Such a perfect and heart felt performance.
This is one of the best covers of this Gershwin classic I've ever heard. Allison, don't ever stop singing and playing -- the world needs your voice and your talent.
I always love how you whistle in the songs you play. As someone who can't whistle, I am slightly envious :) But seriously beautiful cover as always, thank you for uploading!
WOW 🤗 You do LOVE the Classics ... you are taking me back to my young adult years / university Day when I just discovered George Gershwin and his many classics ... Pleasant memories and a new discovery - Allison Young who's making feel so Young L O L 😄 Thanks for you putting your own style on this G G Classic ... its captivating ...
Thank you Allison. I ditto everyone's comments. You are unstoppable, mega talent & ALL that it takes to be #1 in the Hearts of your fans & the World. Many Blessings to you Beautiful Lady~
Thank you Allison for bringing alive the 40's & 50"s to so many of us who remember the really great songs from that period (today's music is too chaotic, ) .. . . . Love the life you bring with all the period clothes and background items to enhance the songs. . Best wishes for a long run in bringing the oldies alive !............and yes.........we love love love the long red hair.......(hint)
Allison, great vocals, perfect pitch & tone qualities that no one else but you present. Outstanding finger style finger picking with fabulous base notes thank you. Vince James
The minute I saw the notification that you had another song for us I immediately stopped what I was doing and rushed to listen. What a treat, I absolutely love your voice. There is something about it and the songs that you share with us that speaks to the core of my being.
I have been playing guitar for 20 years, and looking back at the music I emulated, I can see I gravitated towards the darkness to work through my emotions. Now that I am older, and maybe a bit wiser, I can see now that love songs are more of what's needed in this world. Only love songs for me from now on. Alison, you have changed my tune! All the love to share.
I really really really wanted to focus on this beautiful song, but the geek eye in me kept drifting to the reel to reel deck and the "Heathkit (dating myself) science kit soundboard in the background. I want them both!!!
Is it made by Heathkit? I assumed it was probably an analog synthesizer, but I didn't recognize it. I have to admit not noticing until the end, because Allison is mesmerizingly beautiful.
Such a classic beauty - It's like looking back in time to more innocent times. Voice, class, smile, whistle - then you pull up the old-school microphone and I have to check the time/date stamp to be sure this wasn't made in the 1920's. I love what you do. Thanks for the smile on my face.
Could probably listen to this for hundreds of years into eternity without ever getting tired of it's sublime beauty.... truly a masterpiece recording. HalleluYAH
Couldn't agree more. This is a genuinely talented musician who, with a fair wind behind her will be an exceptional star. I hope she fulfills that promise. Wowee!
You may be young, but Allison you have an OLD soul! So happy to see beautiful songs like this Gershwin classic kept alive by beautiful people like you. Bonus whistling was fun!
Cuteness overload. Even though I have the idea your guitar playing wasn't perfect the utter love for the song was very clear. Thanks for sharing your passion and talent with us.
The guitar playing alone deserves great merit, but your singing...and whistling...such a powerful showing of multiple talents all being done so amazingly to compliment each other. Still blown away by your talent and beauty!
This is truly the most beautiful and original rendition of this classic that I have ever heard so far.. You really got a beautiful voice! Thanks for posting. And please keep on posting!
Perfect! The whole look, sound, and style is such that had it been in black and white could have easily been out of a 1940s movie. Allison, you are a woman outside of your own time. Love it!

@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 new folks like those are out there somewhere, just a bit outside of the spotlight
This girl is incredible, not only her voice and guitar playing that are so expressive but the open smile on her face, the beguiling eyes and her joyful humour. I hope one day to see her live in concert, till then I’m hooked on her videos, so please keep them coming.
You're a treasure the world doesn't appreciate nearly enough. Please keep shining.
That’s because many don’t know her yet.

You bring a smile to the heart.

An extremely talented young lady with a beautiful voice.
Gershwin on a retro condenser mic.
Perfect.
She is truly a marvel, an old soul musically with sophistication far beyond her years. It’s only a matter of time before she is a major star.
Love how patiently she develops the song - it's all about setting a mood and feeling. How she uses her voice is very nice!
Her laughter at the end stole my heart. I demand that you give it back to me in person, Ms. Allison :(
(just kidding)
It just...I'm at loss of words here...it's the first time I'm gonna say this...
TOO DAMN CUTE! It's almost impossible to bear. Such a perfect and heart felt performance.
get in line....
Very dreamy... Great voice. Sue in Canada.

This is one of the best covers of this Gershwin classic I've ever heard. Allison, don't ever stop singing and playing -- the world needs your voice and your talent.
Refreshing to find a young talent who values so many of the melodies and standards from an earlier time -my time. Thank you Allison.
Like a breath of fresh air on a mountain top.
love the bossa beat! this could go right into Desafinado or Girl From Ipanema.... Your voice is intoxicating...
I noticed that too!
imuawarriors there is a vid somewhere on you tube of her singing that song
I always love how you whistle in the songs you play. As someone who can't whistle, I am slightly envious :)
But seriously beautiful cover as always, thank you for uploading!

So cute. Her voice makes me melt.
Modular synths next to a reel to reel. Wonderful accompaniment as well. So much talent.
Best part about the Virus . Allison has more time for us . Thanks Lady .

Your like a new penny, so bright and shiny. Thank You for the song
Love Gershwin, love you. Thank you!
Allison, You are a wonderful artist. Thanks so much.

WOW! STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE IS ALIVE AND SINGING AND PLAYING EXCELLENTLY 💓👏👏👏💓😉
yes. yes. y.e.s...so much yes. Gershwin, Cole Porter... sigh... Thank you for your sharing your talent
Well done. Can't get enough of Gershwin, Porter and Berlin.
You and your music are so refreshing. A breath of fresh air reminiscent of the 30's and 40's.
Ms. Allison, thank
you for sharing your magnificent voice with us. It always puts a smile on my face.

Here To Stay? Definitely one of Korn's best songs. Great cover as well.
Gershwin, Beautiful greatness...
You have perfect pitch - and your style is impecabble. It's like you're hardly even trying... wonderous.
The Gershwin's are the best! You bring such depth and warmth.
I think the intro they wrote is more relevant than ever.
Your Beutiful style & sound being such a sense to peaceful and simple times. If only to escape the worlds trouble for a moment on song.
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing!!
You are a truly God gifted on this earth...not only playing musical instruments but singing too...👏👏👏👌🤫😘
I have been playing guitar for 20 years, and looking back at the music I emulated, I can see I gravitated towards the darkness to work through my emotions. Now that I am older, and maybe a bit wiser, I can see now that love songs are more of what's needed in this world. Only love songs for me from now on. Alison, you have changed my tune! All the love to share.
I even prefer the part you are improvising at the beginning ! So talented, so poetic! Wow pure heaven.
This is what a TRUE artist is
I really really really wanted to focus on this beautiful song, but the geek eye in me kept drifting to the reel to reel deck and the "Heathkit (dating myself) science kit soundboard in the background. I want them both!!!
I couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful young lady singing. I did notice a jumbled mess of wires off to the side.
Is that a Heathkit? I was wondering if it was an actual sound board or some tech prop. Beautifully rendered Allison
Hahaha same. That's a modular synth. It kept distracting me. That's not exactly the kind of instrument that fits in her music.
Is it made by Heathkit? I assumed it was probably an analog synthesizer, but I didn't recognize it. I have to admit not noticing until the end, because Allison is mesmerizingly beautiful.
It's a modular synth. 100%.
Perfection, with a little bossa nova seasoning. Gave me a Stan Getz / Jobim vibe.
My god this is such a comfortable yet gorgeous cover, and those vintage mics work a treat.
Every time I hear you I exclaim, "What a set of pipes!" I also applaud your selection of music. It suits your talent well.
Such a classic beauty - It's like looking back in time to more innocent times. Voice, class, smile, whistle - then you pull up the old-school microphone and I have to check the time/date stamp to be sure this wasn't made in the 1920's. I love what you do. Thanks for the smile on my face.
She needs a TV Special. The young lady so much talent. Lovely.
What an amazing blessed gift you have. And how wonderfully blessed we are that you chose to share that blessing with us!
Every video blows me away. Wonderful!
Now, one of my favorite song. Thank you so much.
Outstanding! First rate. Gorgeous sounding... and looking.
What a jazzy mood!!! Bless you, girl.
From, Phillipines.
Could probably listen to this for hundreds of years into eternity without ever getting tired of it's sublime beauty.... truly a masterpiece recording. HalleluYAH
Absolutely beautiful,..pure class. xo.
You are mesmerizing. I love your music.
So relaxing. I can forget about the BS of the day. This is now a favorite.
My Goodness!
Beautiful!
Thank you-
Couldn't agree more. This is a genuinely talented musician who, with a fair wind behind her will be an exceptional star. I hope she fulfills that promise. Wowee!
Allison, you have become a heart throb. Your voice is like velvet, and your delivery is straight from your heart. And you are so beautiful.
Love that you have the courage to make all of these classics that you cover your own, put your own stamp, idea on them.. Dare to be original…🙏🎶🎭❤️
How can I help listening. You have me hooked. Dr. K.
You may be young, but Allison you have an OLD soul! So happy to see beautiful songs like this Gershwin classic kept alive by beautiful people like you. Bonus whistling was fun!
