Summertime (Porgy and Bess) + Lyrics - George Gershwin

[TheLatiteMiiss]

Ce n'est pas ce genre de chanson que je rechercher ... :/

[pfslow]

The ASCAP Ace database and the publisher credit both Du Bose Heyward and Ira Gershwin with the lyric.

[madamerotten]

The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, but Ira Gershwin is also often credited as a contributor.

rabbeat68 I agree, Janis kills it.

The Father of Jazz....The 20th centuries Beethoven

[adaxial1]

This is a really good version. The lyrics are appreciated.

[Phersephoie]

it's actually a real shame that most versions don't include aaall the chords of the orchestra but just the basics, it gives it half the magic

[peteandpare]

George Gershwin,what a talented man he was,wish I could of met him.

[ThePrinceoftheWind]

Abundantly Sickle like a fresh mint Nickle. Glad to find the Original Thanks

[rabbeat68]

I still prefer Janis Joplin adaptation :)

[gggreggg]

@rabbeat68 comparing the two is almost like apples and oranges.

Thank you for posting this version. Who sang it here? I was surprised the last high note was left out, it is in the score I've seen. Please check out Liza Sobel, a teenage soprano, who recently posted this song, with the last note included.

This is so beautiful!

[ionarockergibson]

Such an amazing song :) I heard it on the radio this morning and had to find out what it was.

:) Brilliant.

[lokeedone]

This is the original out of all the ones that were made, wow! This song is great to me no matter who sang it. Seems to me this song has had a lot of meaning to people back in the days who were going through a lot of things...love it!

[Japanologe]

Classic!

[Cchio8]
