Gershwins, Not Berlin

I was pleased that the Betty Clooney Foundation’s Singers’ Salute to the Songwriter was covered by Don Heckman (“Singers Salute Songwriters--at Length,” April 22). It was a terrific evening and the money raised from this event goes to a wonderful program.

I must note, however, that “Of Thee I Sing” (sung in the concert by Marilyn Lovell) was written by George and Ira Gershwin, and not Irving Berlin, to whom it was attributed in the review.
