Discuss how folk opera music from George Gershwin has influenced American popular music?

Though many are not aware, the American composer George Gershwin was not only an opera composer. Indeed, Gershwin began his career mainly through his opera writing (with the collaboration of his brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin), but Gershwin was also a very successful general and world musician. Gershwin wrote many Broadway hits and numerous classical pieces. All of those contributed greatly to the general advancement of American music into what it is today. But most of all, Gershwin influenced American popular music through his Jazz composing. Gershwin composed countless Jazz pieces, some of which still hold great fame in American culture. Musicians like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Janis Joplin, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Madonna, John Coltrane and many others sang, played, or were greatly influenced by Gershwin's style and writing technique. Some might claim that Gershwin's influence on the musicians mentioned above cannot be considered an influence on modern American popular music like hip-hop and rap, yet those who make that claim are unaware of the musical history of both those interesting music genres. Both hip-hop's and rap's predecessors are Rock & Roll and Blues. Where did Rock & Roll and Blues evolve from? Jazz! Not many know, but the very early Rock & Roll bands featured mainly the saxophone as their lead instrument, quite the Jazzy feeling. Gershwin's writing influenced Jazz, which created the music scene as we know it today. Gershwin (amongst many others), is one of the grandparents of modern American popular music.
