Ira Gershwin by Philip Furia

Ira Gershwin has lived in the shadow of his brother George, with whom he collaborated in the writing of some of the most memorable American popular songs. The author makes a persuasive case for Ira Gershwin as the most important and original lyricist in "American popular song", and discusses his career after the death of George Gershwin in 1937.

Philip Furia has written several books on American popular song, including biographies of Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, and Johnny Mercer. His work has been praised in The New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, and other publications, and he has been interviewed on Larry King Live, Fresh Air, A & E's
Biography, and other national and international radio and television programs.

Laurie Patterson is co-authored with Philip Furia of The Songs of Hollywood. Her other publications have centered around her research on gender and technology.
