【老爵士歌 】Summer time (图)

Somehow, crave for Jazz today, totally in a swing mood~~ :)) Her voice is not a "killing" kind as Billie Holiday's, I would say~~ so enjoy it with your summer smiles~~~

"Summertime" was composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess.

It is widely believed that "Summertime" vies with the Beatles' "Yesterday" as one of the most often covered songs in popular music, with an estimated 2,600 different versions recorded.

Singer: Sarah Lois Vaughan (nicknamed "Sassy" and "The Divine One" ), (March 27, 1924 – April 3, 1990) was an American jazz singer, described as one of the greatest singers of the 20th century. ZT

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
