Ā Its title phrase Nice work if you can get it came from an English magazine. Ā It was one of nine songs the Gershwin brothers wrote for the movie A Damsel in Distress in which it was performed by Fred Astaire with backing vocals by The Stafford Sisters. Ā The song was published in 1937. Ā The first jazz recording of the work was by Tommy Dorsey three weeks after the release of the film. Ā The song was recorded by many jazz singers and adopted by bebop instrumentalists; Jerry Newman recorded pianist Thelonious Monk performing the tune in 1941 at Minton's Playhouse, a nightclub closely connected with early bebop, and he subsequently recorded it several times.
