The ASCAP Foundation Jay Gorney Award

The ASCAP Foundation Jay Gorney Award was established by Jay's wife, Sondra, and his son, Dr. Roderic Gorney. In the spirit of Jay's song, "Brother Can You Spare a Dime?" which he wrote with lyricist E.Y. "Yip" Harburg, this award is presented for an original song based on its message of social conscience/social significance as well as overall craft, artistry and compositional elements.
