Aquí va otra de las grandes intérpretes de la historia, Billie Holiday.
Otra de mis favoritas dando vida a 'Summertime', compuesta por George Gershwin con letra de su hermano Ira Gershwin y DuBose Heywars para la opera Porgy and Bess, que recogía el folclore y raíces musicales afroamericanas (1933). Una de las canciones más conocidas del Jazz que ha sido escogida por multitud de artitas, entre ellos Ella Fitzerald y Louise Armstrong, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Janis Joplin.. y hasta Scarlett Johanson!

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh! Your Daddy's rich and your Ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby, don't you cry...
One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by...
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by...
Music by George Gershwin
with lyrics by Ira Gershwin and Du Bose Heyward, 1933
