No, I didn't. We didn't pay them royalties. If Cass can't hear the difference, she's not good enough. ALW has won a half-dozen of these frivolous lawsuits. The Gershwin estate are broke. I demonstrated the difference lots of times. - My suggestion is Black opera singers learning this style and doing Porgy and Bess. The original production sounds far more authentic than the modern ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3CWatcFmVo&list=PLnOSH5j1sQh-ZAqZlr5vXaF9R8FZ4lhDv&index=4 People love Black culture, but Porgy sounds wrong without the vernacular influence. It's not the Gullah words that make it hard to understand; it's the poor diction.
