"But Not for Me" is a kind of counter-love song — a great anthem to angst — and George Gershwin’s “But Not For Me” was ahead of its time.
He and his brother Ira wrote the thing in 1930 for a popular stage musical called “Girl Crazy.” But it didn’t make the Billboard charts until a dozen years later — after George’s death, in fact — when Harry James and his orchestra got to Number 12 with it.
Last week was The Flood’s first fling with the tune. See what you think.
