I'm sure you will be delighted to hear the Gershwins never won the best-song award.

They too say, congratulations!

Gershwin - some of the most beautiful music every written.

Just listen to the soundtracks of any of Woody Allen movies of past years. He loves Gershwin.

That song that won last night's Oscar as best song to me, discouraging as it was, has got to get the attention of young songwriters who realize that America misses the composers of past years and yearns for clean, romantic, heart-tucking songs like the Gershwins, or Rodgers and Hart or Rodgers & Hammersten, Cole Porter, etc. used to write.

Their talents are sorely needed in today's world.
