'S Wonderful

'S Wonderful is a popular jazz standard by the great American composer George Gershwin (see Wikipedia entry here).

Originally written for the Broadway musical Funny Face in 1927, this song was also included in the 1951 movie An American in Paris.  Although the melody line is relatively straightforward, its layout opens up many possibilities for different chord permutations, resulting in many interesting reharmonizations.
