Billie Holiday - Summertime

The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia CD 1

Lyrics:

Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is fine
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 the sky
But till that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by

It would be nice to see a video without being forced to live through the advertisements. Just sayin'.

[ChickweblisLuv]

I totally adore Billie Holiday and Janis Joplin, I don't think you can even compare the two versions since they're so different! Both astounding ladies with incredible voices.

@mariobro1993 that's 4 damn sure. Same with Satchmo. It doesn't really have the same impact with Duke, for example. Not that there's anything wrong with Duke, just a different head space.

[mariobro1993]

I'm as high as the cotton right now.

Not that you have to be to love The Lady.

Only to enhance it.

@slyon68 you're listening/viewing for free without breaking the law - i don't like the ads either but...you could be forced to live through much worse #justsayin
