"The Man I Love" is a popular standard with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by his brother Ira. Part of the 1924 score for the Gershwin government satire Lady, Be Good as "The Girl I Love", the song was deleted from the show and from both the 1927 anti-war satire Strike Up the Band (where it first appeared as "The Man I Love") and 1928 Ziegfeld hit Rosalie after tryouts. Popular recordings in 1928 were by Marion Harris; Sophie Tucker; Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra (vocal by Vaughn De Leath); and by Fred Rich & His Orchestra (vocal also by Vaughn De Leath). As with many standards of the era, it has become more famous as an independent popular song than as one from a Broadway musical. The song was included in the 2015 Broadway musical An American in Paris based on the six-time Academy Award-winning Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron film, An American in Paris that was released in 1951.more »
