Rosemary Clooney sings Gershwin - LIVE! video free download

The great ''girl singer'', Rosemary Clooney (1928-2002), sings two classics from the songs of George & Ira Gershwin. Carnegie Hall, December, 1997.

1. "A Foggy Day" from the 1937 film "A Damsel in Distress"

2. "Our Love Is Here to Stay" from the 1938 film "The Goldwyn Follies"

It is said that the Gershwin brothers took less than an hour to compose "A Foggy Day".

"I was a stranger in the city

Out of town were the people I knew

I had that feeling of self-pity

What to do? What to do? What to do?

The outlook was decidedly blue

But as I walked through the foggy streets alone

It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known

CHORUS

A foggy day in London Town

Had me low and had me down

I viewed the morning with alarm

The British Museum had lost its charm

How long, I wondered, could this thing last?

But the age of miracles hadn't passed,

For, suddenly, I saw you there

And through foggy London Town

The sun was shining everywhere."

Though it was written for "The Goldyn Follies" (1938), "Our Love Is Here to Stay" is probably best remembered from the 1951 film "An American in Paris".

"It's very clear

Our love is here to stay ;

Not for a year

But ever and a day.

The radio and the telephone

And the movies that we know

May just be passing fancies,

And in time may go !

But, oh my dear,

Our love is here to stay.

Together we're

Going a long, long way

In time the Rockies may tumble,

Gibralter may crumble,

They're only made of clay,

But our love is here to stay."
