Thanks for the history lesson!
So 'Someone to Watch Over Me' was originally written for a woman!
It does seem more female friendly.

You're welcome and yep, it was written for the great star of Broadway musicals, Gertrude Lawrence.

Once upon a time, the idea of a woman looking for someone to watch over her was quite normal in our society. I think, 80 years later, given the sissification of our men, the song might suit an Ace more than a Katherine or Pickle, or even young Paris.

BTW, many Gershwin songs would be great for Elliott to sing since much of Gershwin's material is jazz.
