One of Gershwin's musical plays, "Girl Crazy," introduced a young singer named Ethel Merman. She became one of the most celebrated performers in America. In the play, Ethel Merman sang a song George Gershwin wrote just for her. It was called "I Got Rhythm. " Many songs that George Gershwin wrote for musical plays and movies have remained as popular as ever. Over the years, they have been sung and played in every possible way -- from jazz to country. One example is the song, "Someone to Watch Over Me." It was written for the 1926 musical "Oh, Kay!" Here is a modern version of the song, sung by Willie Nelson.格什温的音乐剧作品之一《疯狂的女孩》介绍了一个名叫艾索尔·摩曼的年轻歌手。她成为美国最著名的演员之一。在剧中，艾索尔·摩曼演唱了一首格什温特意为她创作的歌曲，名叫《我的旋律》。很多格什温为音乐剧和电影创作的歌曲至今还经久不衰。此后多年，他们都被以各种方式传唱和演出——从爵士乐到乡村音乐。一个例子就是歌曲《情人保镖》，它是为1926年的音乐剧《哦,凯》而创作的，以下是一个该曲的现代版本，由威利尼尔森演唱。
