High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! It Ain't Necessarily So is a popular song with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin. The song comes from the Gershwins' opera Porgy and Bess (1935) where it is sung by the character Sportin' Life, a drug dealer, who expresses his doubt about several statements in the Bible. The role of Sportin' Life was created by John W. Bubbles. Other notable incarnations of the character include Cab Calloway on stage and Sammy Davis, Jr. in the 1959 film. The song has been covered a number of times during the Rock era. It was a major Australian hit in 1965 for singer Normie Rowe, and included by The Moody Blues in their 1965 album, The Magnificent Moodies. The Moody Blues' version is notable for the fact that it was their first recording with band member Ray Thomas singing the lead vocals. It was also included by The Honeycombs on their debut-album, Bronski Beat in 1984, Cher in 1994, and Jamie Cullum in 2002, although most notably sung by Aretha Franklin and Bobby Darin on his 1959 album That's All. It Ain't Necessarily So is also the title of the autobiography of the American musician Larry Adler.
