George Gershwin: “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” When thinking about significant American composers‚ one name in particular came to me: George Gershwin. Influenced by French composers of an earlier time‚ George developed his own style‚ mixing jazz with the popular music of his time and creating something unique.
