DAVID LEE GINGRAS #1291347. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1729534)."Nice Work If You Can Get It" is a popular song and jazz standard composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin.
It began life in 1930 as a nine-bar phrase with the working title "There's No Stopping Me Now". Its title phrase "Nice work if you can get it" came from an English magazine. It was one of nine songs the Gershwin brothers wrote for the movie A Damsel in Distress in which it was performed by Fred Astaire with backing vocals by The Stafford Sisters. The song was published in 1937. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements, we hope you like what we've done with this one!
