Thereâ??s a Boat Datâ??s Leavinâ?? Soon for New York/It Ainâ??t Necessarily So/Summertime/I Got Plenty o' Nuttinâ?? is a song from the American opera Porgy and Bess, composed in 1935 by George Gershwin (1898-1937), to a libretto by DuBose Heyward and his brother Ira Gershwin, after Heywardâ??s novel Porgy - a story about the love between the crippled negro beggar Porgy and the girl Bess in the city of Charleston in South Carolina. The première - not a huge success - took place on 10 October 1935 in New York.With his opera, Gershwin wanted to gain recognition as a composer of classical music. Incidentally he demanded that all parts were sung by black performers; only a few unimportant parts,without sung lyrics, were allowed to be performed by white actors. This rule still applies: Gershwin has stated in the terms of his will that only black people were allowed stage the opera.Porgy and Bess has become popular only after Gershwinâ??s death. In 1959 a wonderful film was made; the soundtrack won a Grammy Award. The work is not very often performed, possibly because of the difficulty of finding a whole cast of black opera singers. However, various pieces from the opera are still regularly performed in numerous arrangements. I Got Plenty o' Nuttin' ist ein Lied aus der amerikanischen Oper Porgy and Bess die George Gershwin im 1935 komponierte.Das Libretto lieferten DuBose Heyward und Georges Bruder Ira Gershwin nach Heywards Roman Porgy, einer Geschichte über die Liebe zwischen dem verkrüppelten schwarzen Bettler Porgy und dem Mädchen Bess in Charleston im Staat South Carolina.
