#EncoresArchivesa?? No one except Gershwin in Porgy and Bess ever combined blues and art song as felicitously as Harold Arlen and lyricist Johnny Mercer did in "I Had Myself a True Love", sung here by Helen Goldsby. a?? a?? St. Louis Woman was certainly a step-child of Porgy, and attempted to bridge comedy and tragedy, as well as opera and musical theater, and while it may have missed the mark in its totality, the score is among Broadway's greatest. This musical was Encores! first full restoration, and among our proudest achievements. a?? a?? ?: @helengoldsby "I Had Myself a True Love" a?? Encores!
