"Practise It Again" is an American pop song by composer George Gershwin and lyricist Buddy DeSylva. The song premiered in the 1922 Broadway prove The French Doll, as performed by actress Irène Bordoni.
Groundwork [edit]
Gershwin recounted the origin of the vocal in 1934:
I was in the office of Max Dreyfus, my publisher, one day when Buddy DeSylva walked in. DeSylva said jokingly to me, "George, let's write a hit!" I matched him by maxim, "O.K.!" I sat downwardly at the pianoforte, and began playing a theme which I was composing on the spot... Buddy listened for a few minutes and and so began chanting this title—"Oh, Do It Again!," which he had just fitted to my theme.[1]
Gershwin began playing the song, described as "innocently sensual", [ citation needed ] at parties. Upon hearing the song, Irène Bordoni insisted that she perform the song in her show.[2] "Practise It Again" first appeared in the Broadway play The French Doll, which premiered on February 20, 1922 at the Lyceum and ran for a total of 120 performances.[1]
Structure [edit]
In Edward Jablonski's volume Gershwin: With a New Critical Discography, he writes that "Practise It Again" has "bar-to-bar modulations, distinctive harmonies and un-Tin Pan Alley long-lined melody that mark information technology as one of Gershwin's finest creations."[3]
Success [edit]
Bordoni, the extra who performed the vocal in The French Doll, earned praise and success with the song's premiere. Alice Delysia's performance of the song (retitled as "Please Do It Once more") in the 1922 London revue Mayfair and Montmartre was besides well received. That same year, the Paul Whiteman Orchestra's recording found success and helped forge an "auspicious clan" betwixt the bandleader and Gershwin.[1] While Bordoni never recorded the vocal, Delysia did in 1933.[1] [ii] Other notable performances include Marilyn Monroe's 1952 alive rendition before thousands of marines at Camp Pendleton in Southern California, which caused a "near anarchism", likewise as the version that appears on Judy Garland's 1961 live album Judy at Carnegie Hall.[ane]
