Listen to Amy Grant's New Duet with Jazz Vocalist Michael Feinstein
Grammy Award winner Amy Grant has released a new duet with pianist-vocalist Michael Feinstein. The great George Gershwin standard "They Can't Take That Away From Me" is taken from Feinstein's latest album Gershwin Country which releases today. The album was recorded in Nashville and showcases interpretations from the George and Ira Gershwin songbook through the lens of country music, in duets with some of the genre's biggest stars.
"They Can't Take That Away From Me" was originally written for the 1937 Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film Shall We Dance. Astaire released it with the Johnny Green Orchestra that year, and there were soon rival versions by Billie Holiday, Jimmy Dorsey and others. In the ensuing decades, it's been recorded by Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, Tony Bennett, and hundreds of others. In more recent years the song has been interpreted by Gloria Estefan, Rod Stewart, and Brian Wilson.
"As a person who became besotted with [George] Gershwin long ago, I cannot be objective of his work, nor of his brother Ira's, for it all goes too deep into my soul," says Feinstein. "From the time I first heard them decades ago, the songs have felt personal, and as I have sung them through the years, they have become multifaceted diamonds revealing new angles of truth and depth with every exploration."
