By age 15, he was working as a Tin Pan Alley 'song plugger.  His first hit,  Swanee  was popularized by Al Jolson in 1919, and before long, Tin Pan Alley lay at Gershwin's feet. Broadway soon followed, as with his older brother Ira he wrote one musical hit after another, including  Lady Be Good' (1924),  Oh Kay!  (1926), 'Funny Face' (1927),  Strike Up The Band  (1927 \u0026amp; 1930),  Girl Crazy' (1930), and  Of Thee I Sing  (1931) -- the first musical to win a Pulitzer Prize. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Dr. Beth Fleming, 2019\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musicians Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968601444646,"sku":"MPWT122","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/700000000MPWT122_d.jpg?v=1697515971","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/gershwin-g-swanee","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
