"The Man I Love" is a popular standard in AABA form[2] with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by his brother Ira. Part of the 1924 score for the Gershwin musical comedy Lady, Be Good, the song was deleted from that show and put into the Gershwins' 1927 government satire Strike Up the Band (where it appears as "The Man I Love" and "The Girl I Love"), which closed out-of-town. It was considered for, then rejected from, the 1928 Ziegfeld hit Rosalie.[3]

Like many songs from George and Ira Gershwin, "The Man I Love" is considered part of the Great American Songbook and was covered on stage and on record by many artists.[4] It was recorded by Kate Bush in 1994 for Larry Adler's The Glory of Gershwin tribute album and released as a single,[5] which reached number 27 on the British charts.[6]

In 2004, the Brazilian singer-songwriter Caetano Veloso who identifies himself as bisexual recorded a gay version of the song for his English-language album A Foreign Sound[7].
