Brooklyn born composer George Gershwin indelibly shaped the modern landscape of Amercan music with his memorable & booty-shaking works -- Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris, and basically all the songs from Porgy & Bess. We just hope that Steven Spielberg, who's rumored to have picked-up the directing task for an upcoming George Gershwin biopic, recognizes his genius.
We're not so sure about that, unfortunately, as he's cast Zachary Quinto as Gershwin. You know, the dude who played Spock in that Star Trek movie.
