Europeans - Austrians included - might not have been familiar with PORGY AND BESS as a complete work, but Gershwin songs, including the major songs from PORGY, were immensely popular all over Europe. Don't know how true this is, but Ira Gershwin says in LYRICS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS that, when the Nazis occupied Denmark, the Danish radio stations would follow the official Nazi news broadcasts with instrumental versions of "It Ain't Necessarily So."
