The album consists of 24 songs that were all co-written by George Gershwin (Gershwin's brother Ira co-wrote the majority of the songs), one of them was a lost song entitled "A Corner of Heaven With You" (written c. 1918 with lyrics by Lou Paley). In the selection of "My Man's Gone Now," McGovern vocalizes and never sings. Between the songs "The Man I Love" and "Summertime," there is a piano solo that is provided by Jeff Harris. The last selection is a medley of two songs: "Love Is Here to Stay" and "Of Thee I Sing."
The last three pages inside the album cover contain liner notes from Michael Tilson Thomas, Roger Kellaway, Frances "Frankie" Gershwin Godowsky (sister of George and Ira Gershwin), Tommy Krasker, and Ron Barron respectively.
