In 1976 bracht George Gershwin zijn meesterwerk "Porgy & Bess" uit, een opera die de slums van Charleston als decor gebruikt. Deze opname, uitgegeven door Decca Music Group Ltd., omvat de complete opera en duurt ongeveer drie uur. De opera, die oorspronkelijk in 1935 werd gecomponeerd, is een mix van ragtime en jazz en vertelt het verhaal van Porgy, een arme, maar goedaardige man uit Charleston, en zijn liefde voor Bess, een vrouw die probeert te ontsnappen aan haar gewelddadige verleden. De opname uit 1976, met Donnie Ray Albert als Porgy en Clamma Dale als Bess, is een hoogtepunt in de interpretatie van dit klassieke werk. Met nummers zoals "Summertime" en "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'" biedt deze uitgave een diepgaande kijk in het leven en de cultuur van de zwarte gemeenschap in de jaren 1930. Gershwin's unieke stijl en de krachtige vocale prestaties maken deze opname een essentieel onderdeel van elk muziekliefhebbers collectie.
