In 1932, the Pulitzer Prize in Drama was awarded to Of Thee I Sing, a musical with a book by George S. Kaufman, Morrie Ryskind and lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It was the first time a work incorporating music was acknowledged by the Pulitzer Committee, although the composer of the musical score, George Gershwin, was not acknowledged for his contribution. It would be another 11 years before a Pulitzer Prize for Music was established.
