Ella Fitzgerald & Gershwin: They can't take that Away from Me
Another selection from that magnificent collaboration between Ella and arranger Nelson Riddle for the George Gershwin Songbook. The verse or introductory section sets the tone for the main segments which extoll all the loved one's virtues like the "Way You wear your hat and the way you sip your tea " and ending with " The memory of all that, no no they can't take that away from me !"  
Brother Ira's lyrics perfectly match the melody of brother George.
