About the Song
   Other avaliable versions of this music sheet: Version 1  Version 2  
"The Man I Love" is a popular standard, with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by his brother Ira. Originally part of the 1927 score for the Gershwin antiwar musical satire Strike Up the Band, the song was removed from the 1930 version of the show, and, as with many standards of the era, has become more famous as an independent popular song than as one from a Broadway musical. Popular torch singer Helen Morgan first made the song into a big success. [1] Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Lena Horne recorded versions of this song, as did Ella Fitzgerald for Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Songbook (1959). On this version, Ira Gershwin commented, "I didn't realize our songs were so good until Ella sang them.". Hazel O'Connor recorded a version for her Smile album in 1984. Barbra Streisand recorded the song for her album Back to Broadway (1993). In 1995, Tony Bennett recorded.    Download this sheet!
