It ain't necessarily so (from 'Porgy and Bess') - George Gershwin

Tenor, choir and concert band.

Gershwin's opera 'Porgy and Bess' contains many songs that have become popular in their own right, becoming standards in jazz and blues in addition to their original operatic setting. One of those is 'It ain't necessarily so' which is sung by Sporting Life and the choir. Sporting Life' is a drug dealer who expresses his doubt about several statements in the Bible.
