My Cousin in Milwaukee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"My Cousin in Milwaukee" is a song composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin.[1][2] It was introduced in their 1932 musical Pardon My English. The song, like the show, was not a particular hit, although there are a number of vintage recordings of it:
- Victor Arden-Phil Ohman & their Orchestra (Victor 24206)
- Lyda Roberti+ with Eddy Duchin and his Central Park Casino Orchestra (Brunswick unissued)
(+ There has been an ongoing debate about the vocalist by collectors. Many people believe the singer is Gertrude Neisen, who was known for her accurate impersonation of Roberti.)[citation needed]
