@MOONST0MP Gershwin, man... The original is from Porgy and Bess (opera), which is pretty different. It's sorta funny how low the covers are pitched comparatively.

Why oh Why did these three leave The Specials to do this shit??? I thought this song was originaly done by Janis Joplin but after readin the comments i guess Frank Sinatra was the first to do it. Thats the great thing about youtube. You learn somthin new every day!

@cosycorp This is such a wonderful piece of songwriting that you wonder how so many people have managed to destroy it. Whilst I can't claim to have heard that many of the more than 13,000 covers of this, I can't imagine too many of them come close to this. I suspect that even Gershwin himself would have given this his approval. Frank Sinatra?!

Thank you so much for posting this, this version is great!



These spin off's from the Specials really did this Frank Sinatra Classic real justice! Yeah I really love this number by The Fun Boy Three!

Gershwin 1936, Which I think predates Mr S by quite a bit. His version is just one of over 13,000 recorded ones. My personal favouritess are this and George's own original
