1964, its film version directed by George Cuckor was released, starring
Audrey Hepburn (singing voice by Marnie Nixon) and Rex Harrison in
the lead roles, which won 8 Oscars, including Best Picture, Director and
Actor. In I Could Have Danced All Night, Eliza

Dirty Dancing
was one of many successful musical films in the 1980s that followed Saturday Night Fever's structure, in which songs by famous
artists fill the plot of the film, but the characters do not
sing to express themselves as in traditional musicals. The
story is about a rich girl who falls in love with the dance teacher of
her vacation resort as they prepare for a competition. The
film turned Patrick Swayze into a star, and won the Academy Award for best original song for (I've Had) The Time of My Life, which topped the charts in 1987, just like soundtrack itself, which included 1960s hits and new songs, like She's Like The Wind. |

George and Ira Gershwin composed Summertime for the opera of 1935 Porgy and Bess, with lyrics by DuBose Heyward, author of the book that inspired the play. It's a lullaby sung a few times during the play. Considered by many, including Sondheim, the greatest song in American musical theater, Summertime has become a jazz standard, being recorded by thousands of artists such as Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke and Janis Joplin. Porgy and Bess was the first show comprised of a cast of only black artists. It wasn't popular with the general public due to the heavy subjects of drugs, misery and violence, including part of the black community that felt stereotyped. |
"Summertime" Porgy and Bess (Gershwin/Heyward) "Summertime An' the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' An' the cotton is high Yo daddy's rich And yo' ma is good lookin' So hush, little baby, Don't you cry" |
