Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away)

"Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away)" is a song composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin and Gus Kahn. It was introduced in 1929 by Ruby Keeler (as Dixie Dugan) in Florenz Ziegfeld's musical Show Girl.^[1] The stage performances were accompanied by the Duke Ellington Orchestra.^[2] On the show's opening night, Keeler's husband and popular singer Al Jolson suddenly stood up from his seat in the third row and sang a chorus of the song, much to the surprise of the audience and Gershwin himself. Jolson later recorded the song, and his rendition rose to number nine on the charts. A popular jazz standard, the song has been recorded by Django Reinhardt, Judy Garland, Thelonious Monk, Art Tatum, Mel Tormé, Chick Webb and Teddy Wilson, among others.^[1] Liza Minnelli performed the number at her 2008-9 concert Liza's at The Palace...!.
