A Foggy Day

[George Gershwin Ira Gershwin]

It’s funny that while most “city songs” try to glamorize a city, this one goes the opposite direction – until the very last line, of course. The melody features repeated notes and there is a 2-bar extension of the form; don’t let it fool you. Ella and Louie’s version is an absolute classic, but be sure to check out George Benson’s up-tempo version on *It’s Uptown*.
