my grandmother was in her 90's and had dementia and this was the song she liked to sing the most, she was always busting it out randomly with a big smile on her face. I would sing along with her. Glad so many others have a similar relationship to this song. I had no idea until today.

Because your grama don't have the dementia, you go to a doctor and hear him telling you that! then most peeps are going to believe what the doc said and going to be living like that just somehow to escape the harsh reality of the known world .. I just don't go that often to doctors, if I'm feeling ill or cold , my immune and body system will probably automatically recoup... And it's not that I'm stating that the doctor is no good Because if I cut my hand or something real deep I'll be visiting the ER room for stitches...

Two of the greatest performing artists of all time. Both of these people had a major effect on our music. Louis Armstrong gave us what is considered "American" music. He changed music forever with his style. Like Jimmy Hendrix after him his style was so different and innovative that everyone after had to imitate him or be left in the dust. That was also true with Ella. Salute Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, LEGENDS!

Es increíble que en ningún comentario se haga presente un elogio para el autor; el mas grande e importante de la música norteamericana, George Gerswhing, que abrió el espacio para la opera norteamericana precisamente con "Porgy and Bess", de donde es el aria·lullaby "Summertime",. La primera dama del Jazz y la primera trompeta solista de la historia, grabaron varios discos entre ellos este, en el que mi favorita es la estelar interpretación de Ella en "I love you Porgy", aun así no supera la grabación de Lady Day en Londres. Esta pagina tiene como St Louis Blue un comienzo similar para un desarrollo diferente pero tan gigantes ambos que son piezas emblemáticas del sonido norteamericano.

the Gershwin Brothers were genius. Ella and Louis are perfection.

Wonderful!!!! Came here from Angelina Jordan. She sang a short form of summertime when she was 8. And she really nailed it.

One of my mother's favorite songs. As a little girl, she sang this song to the 4 of us. Miss you, Mama... This song always make me cry because I remember you and I miss you.
