  • Hi Gal

    I would like to see you do this, a hundred times slower.

    I think you could nail it but take the jazz out.

    Think about the words, it is slow and said.

    I would never hide behind glasses either,

    just turn the lights down if you want to mask yourself,

    Older folks who would love to have you do this song,

    lives in a far slower pace, younger folks have to slow down.

    I do think you are onto something and support your work.

  • You sound great keep up the great work!

  • turn down the hum... fine performance, but the extraneous noise takes away from it.

  • u r hot.....loves a game but not for me.

  • hi! this is really good! Do you think you could give me the chords? Or is there any sheet music for this? I really like this and that would be amazing!

  • Yes, there is sheet music. It's a jazz standard.

  • Thanks for the compliment. :D

  • like your version, the jazz stabs are a cheerful twist.

  • thanks.

  • ruth so long since u posted a video...but we all get busy i know.

  • I agree.

    I love Gershwin. Great Job, Voice and Piano Playing. Jazz suits you!

  • Oh yeah ... nice style on this tune! :)

  • That's nice! =D Are you trained in piano jazz Ruth?

  • Hey, I missed seeing this one. I like this very much.

  • Good job on the cover and love the voice. Another talented Butler! ;)

  • I don't have the words to tell you how much I love this music. Yours is far and away my favorite performance of it. Everything works: the quality of your voice, your work on the keyboard, the visual experience. Thank you.

    beautiful...tsall...i gotta say

  • awesome you own a mac, let's exchange music.

  • Awesome performance

  • Hi Ruth I really loved you're interpretation of this wonderfull tune, your voice is taylor made for it, in the beginning you played some real nice chords(with extensions) Your piano comping was very functional for this piece,You've got Jazz guts Lady,greets Victor.

  • Sweet video.

    Nicely done.

    Peace. (misha)

  • ddeeelighhhtfulll.. :)

  • great stuff,very jazzy blues vibe.keep on that great work :)

  • really nice

  • This sound really suits you, I really enjoyed listening!

  • nice song, keep it up :)

  • While listening to the intro, I think to your introduction: "vocals come in 1:17"... I love instrumental music, the absence of vocals doesn't scare me... we live in fast, too fast times... "when do vocals come in?" it's a too common question, in these days: it's like people had lost the passion for the music, for the good, dense, intense music well played...

    Your version of this song is... smile-giving!

    Keep up the great work, lady!

  • Oh! you are wonderful:)

    I love all jazz!!!!!!!!

    hehe... the sunglasses are a cute touch!

  • what a lovely compliment. thanks! your channel is really cute too--gotta keep singing out those beautiful old and new tunes! ^^

  • Ruth, at a dinner in Philadelphia, I once played a slow, bluesy version of gershwin's Summertime and a lady walked up to me and said you have an "old soul". Well you have an "old soul" and I say that with the dearest respect. You play with both a modern feel and a feel of jazz and showtime classics. Have you recorded ?? If the answer is no, than why not ??

  • DJ, thank you. Your perspective means a lot to me b/c i can tell you have the ears and soul of a jazz great! I am just making a career change to music, so I'm in that process of bringing my creative spirit forward to make a living. Thank you for your supportive words! ^_^

  • woooah! nice!! love the jazzy feel! nice vibe here keep it up. JazzySaxE

  • thanks JSE! ...gotta keep up the practicing... ^^

  • great job! made me smile =)

  • yay! i made a london man smile!! ^^

  • Ruth, you have such a delicate piano touch, that was absolutely amazing! I have to admit, out of all the instruments I think that the piano has to be one of the most versatile; it is suited to so many different styles and you definitely have a style of your own. I wanted to give you a TEN, but, You Tube won't let me. So it's FIVE!

  • thank you thank you! what a lovely compliment. and guitar, like piano, is quite versatile...and you definitely have a delicate touch with the guitar! xoxo

  • Ruth! I'm in love! You look like Audrey Hepburn...LOVE the pearls. This was so wonderful, I am so glad you are putting up more videos. My goodness, you just rule. Your voice was so sweet, and of course your piano skills are awesome as usual...yay!!!!!

  • yes. sister. you you you. just and only you. that's it. love. ok. only you and love. which are really the same thing. so just and only you. only you. yes.

  • I like it. Why the shades? Don't hide your beautiful eyes. Thanx for your comment. Your version is pretty good. You're obviously a pianist. I just play around with chords, lol. Great performance.

  • j-your piano skills are awesome! you totally are a pianist...not to mention your passionate voice...youtubers who don't check you out are missing out! -r
