I read that george gershwin took these lyric from the gulla people when he visited. the island just off the north carolina coast. It sounds like an old negro spiritual 2 me..
@starry192 I did not realize Joni Mitchell did this song but it IS clearly Joni Mitchell in her later years. Maybe you are only familiar with her folk songs but she has been doing jazz for many years.
I can't believe so many people are insistent this isn't Joni Mitchell. It is her - if you type in "Joni Mitchell Summertime" in the search bar the 2nd result up is this exact song, this time with the correct name on the video. Not rocket science to find out if you're in doubt.
It's a beautiful version of this song, one of the better versions I think.
i had to comment, and have suddenley decided i could give a ding dong moo moo maah maah who sings this..... (secretley would love to know) but its absolutely bloody brilliant isn't it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could listen to it all night !!!! well if ur in that mood anyway !!! xxx
@IreneJalenti The photo is of Nina's daughter Lisa Celeste Stroud known professionally as Simone. Lisa's dad was Nina's ex-husband Andrew Benjamin "Andy" Stroud. The voice is Joni.
I love all of her work! - Most work from her time really, from the 20s till the 50s. Voices like hers ARE the song, the music is just on the background, tagging along. Unlike most modern noise.
How you know about Gerswhin and not Nina Simone!!!! The first performance was made by Ella Fitzgerald and Louise Armstrong!!! But this is not Nina Simone!!
yes Fab Joni Mitchell on the wonderful best selling album( The River titled after a Joni song) by Herbie Hancock, lots of other good cover on it to, not sure what it is doing here but very good tunes
Hancock?
