One of the warmest versions I have heard of this nostalgic song. The lady without doubt is quite photogenic, an added bonus to my listening (and viewing ) enjoyment.
Nice voice, nice cover. But to the best of my knowledge, the song is not by Ella Fitzgerald (though she certainly sang it fabulously), it was written by George Gershwin as the opening song of his opera, Porgy and Bess.
Summertime And the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' And the cotton is high Oh, your daddy's rich And your ma' is good lookin' So hush Little baby Don't you cry One of these mornings You're gonna rise up singing Yes, you'll spread your wings And you'll take to the sky But 'til that mornin' There's nothin' can harm you Yes with Daddy and Mammy Standing by Summertime And the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' And the cotton is high Oh your daddy's rich And your ma' is good lookin' So hush Little baby Baby, don't you cry Oh don't you cry (don't you cry)

Kenal Chanel YT nya mbak Natalie King sekitar satu tahun yg lalu. Tentu dengan keyword summertime. Muter lagu ini jadi ke inget waktu malam malam ngerjain skripsi, sambil wifi-an di suatu angkringan di kota Atlas. Makasih mbak, :D
Lyrics Summertime and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Oh your Daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin' So hush little baby, don't you cry One of these mornings You're goin' to rise up singing Then you'll spread your wings And you'll take to the sky But till that morning There is nothin' can harm you With you daddy and mammy standing by
Great version of a classic, well done. However, it is not by Ella Fitzgerald, the music was written by George Gershwin for his operatic interpretation of the novel 'Porgy and Bess'. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the writer of the novel. Ella Fitzgerald's singing, almost 30 years after it was written, made the song even more famous.
@@josephpaul4548 it literally says “by Ella Fitzgerald” in the video description. I agree with Robert Neilson. It should say by Gershwin and Heyward. Ella Fitzgerald did not write the song. The term “by” in this context implies “written by.” The original songwriters deserve the credit.
@@thomcarls2782 I agree. It seems that composers don't even get half the credit that singers do. It's a shame. Good songwriting and composition ability are great gifts. They can be developed, but can't be taught.
I didn't know this of classy sophisticated jazz existed anymore until I discovered this lady. What a talent. If only the world could have more of this instead of the rubbish that apparently charts these days. This is sublime.
I do see some but living on a small island state not many groups come here. But I have over 2000 CDs mostly jazz legends but other stuff too. Hope the rest of 2023 is good to you. Cheers.@@johnwattdotca
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 I think the greatest human accomplishment on acoustic piano is McCoy Tyner, the song "Naima", from the album "Echoes of a Friend". He does live versions with bass and drums, but the original album version is the best by far. The RU-vid video only shows the album cover. My favorite sax or flute with bass and drums is an Elvin Jones album, "Agape Love", with Joe Farrell on sax and flute and Buster Thompson on acoustic bass. And even thought it's mostly electronic, Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix has some deep, almost underwater listening, "1983, a Merman I would Be, Moon turn the tides, gently, gently away". CDs are going away around here, more DVDs being resold. I could wish you happy holidays, but I'll suggest learning to play bass.

A fact that you might find interesting: Summertime was not composed by Ella Fitzgerald (nor by Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday, etc.). It is a song composed in 1935 by George Gershwin as part of his opera Porgy and Bess. The lyrics were written between George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin, based on a poem by DuBose Heyward. Here is a performance of Porgy and Bess (including Summertime in the opening moments): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fO2114PmTl4.htmlsi=WoAbChXqV-mc_7e1 Enjoy!
There where some Gershwins and DuBose Heyward. The song was recorded for the first time by Abbie Mitchell on July 19, 1935, with George Gershwin playing the piano and conducting the orchestra
Summertime music 🎶 songs...!! That give you a lot of strange sensation..perhaps memories you have live...bad or good....but formally...its just a chapter of our life....this song singing by that beautiful woman explain all that...😊😊😊.
Ella: Summertime and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin' So hush, little baby, don't you cry Louis: One of these mornin's, you're gonna rise up singin' You're gonna spread your wings and you'll take to the sky But 'til that mornin', there is nothin' can harm you With Daddy and Mummy, standing by Don't you, don't you cry Ella & Louis: Summertime and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin' So hush, little baby, don't you cry
This piece is not by Ella Fitzgerald, it was written by George Gershwin from an American Opera called, "Porgi & Bess." Ella sung it yes, but so did many other jazz singers and opera singers. Just wanted to clarify for the rights of the composer.
