George Gershwin, born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1898, was an American composer who blended jazz, popular, and classical music. He created iconic works like "Rhapsody in Blue," "An American in Paris," and the opera "Porgy and Bess" (featuring "Summertime"). Collaborating often with his brother Ira, he composed numerous Broadway hits. Gershwin received a Pulitzer Prize for "Of Thee I Sing" and his music remains celebrated worldwide.
