I can't think of any song in particular now, but if you are looking for musicians who were around in the 1920s/1930, I can come up with a few: Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Dizzie Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Sydney Bechet,Paul Whiteman, Bessie Smith and Ella Fitzgerald, for example.
Not exactly the time but still some of my favourite singers, who could probably fit the mood of the movie, is Nina Simone.
Or you could simply take a look at Gershwin's songs and see if you find one that would make a good vid, and then look for a fitting version later, since all the great singers of the time have sung his songs.
