I Loves You Porgy

I Loves You Porgy is a Jazz standard written by George Gershwin for the opera “Porgy and Bess”. Over the years there has been a lot of conflict within the African American community on whether the musical is blatantly racist and therefore unworthy of perpetuation by African Americans.

I think I will leave that debate to others and just feature this beautiful piece of music. One of the indications of a good song is that it is able to touch you in a deep place and I think this composition meets that requirement.
