Summertime lyrics
Songwriters: George & Ira Gershwin, Du Bose & Dorothy Heyward
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, 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 'til that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy
Standing by
Don't you cry

Who is listening in 2024 ?
I listen this
I am 👌💫🙏
Me ❤️
Still here baby
I do but I am also a league of legend player
She painted with her voice.
Best way to describe this...
Amen
Francois Bessing What a wonderful description. Thanks.
That's exactly what I just noticed
She was the best!!!!
I’m a 26 year old boy. Ella is my favorite artist ever. I’m no singer, not even a musician I just love e her voice and talent.
Keep listening. Music of today is shite.
I’m listening, I’m 69, I’ve liked her brand of jazz since my 20’s
Same here. That voice has got to be heaven sent.❤
Same vintage and likes
1:43 She hit that note so perfect she gave the piano man whiplash! Truly unmatched then and now.
This is cap. You simply cannot give another person whiplash through the use of your voice. Lol. Shit valid tho no lie
Stfu she hit that note so amazingly it made me cream!😭🥺
@@joey1542Shut the hell up bruh u must have autism
@@fireboy93939 exactly!!!!!
I am 67 years old Polish and I heard about Ella for years. Even our communistic radio stations broadcasted her beautiful songs.
Why is nobody talking about these excellent musicians? Their tempo was perfect, they were in sync with each other and with Ella, and that piano was just absolutely beautiful.
Just perfection all around
Why is noone talking about Ella Fitzgerald? What are you talking about haha
No one is talking because they are too busy listening! All these musicians, including Ella Fitzgerald, were very well known for their artistry at the time, but it’s 2023, and this was done in maybe c.1970, which is 50 years ago, and she performed it in probably the mid to late ‘50 and throughout the 60’s, so you are talking about 70 plus years of absolute perfection.
@@nfpnone8248 coz they don't make music like this anymore !
no one talks because there is nothing to talk about. there is a risk of committing some sin.
One of the greatest voices in music history.
She was simply the best woman that sang jazz or any other kind of music - one of the most loved by fans across the world. Able to improvise with her voice like a bebop horn player, Fitzgerald was also a silky balladeer who was able to balance technique with sensitivity. 1:11 [uDiscoverMusic]
Ella Fitzgerald is the first name you think of when someone mentions outstanding female jazz singers. Dubbed ‘The First Lady of Song,’ Fitzgerald had an extensive career that ran into the late 80s, earning 13 Grammy Awards, and setting the standard for future jazz artists. She is known for her flawless diction, her silky tone, and her incredible ability to improvise using her scatting skills. [Pink Wafer Club] 1:48
🙏🏾
And emotive stylist of her vocals.
Yes she was. A true mistress of the vocal art.
That drummer is one of the most delicate and gentle drummers I’ve ever seen. WOW!!!!
Ella is the truth❤
Susan Mclaren Can you not appreciate both? Can you not appreciate every aspect that goes into good music? Can you not appreciate pure craftsmanship whilst still acknowledging how the people around them are incredible as well? Check yourself girl; lotsa good stuff goin on here-putting any of it aside for no real reason is regrettable, to say the least.
Susan Mclaren I absolutely appreciate Ella and all that she had to go through just to get her name and beautiful voice out there-hell, that’s why I’m here. But, do you know the drummer? If not, why do you speak on his behalf? And even in the scenario which you’ve presented, are you unable to like something that’s well done, regardless of the performer’s background? To understand and appreciate the hard work that goes into performing any kind of art at such high skill level? Why is it so unfathomable to like *both?* That’s an option! You can like multiple things in a song at once! In fact, at times, _that’s what makes the song so good._ You don’t have to pick and choose what you enjoy based upon meaningless criteria; if you like and appreciate something or multiple things, you like and appreciate them. End of story.
Ella is perfect and I have listened to this song more times than I can count but I had never paid full attention to the drum work. Thanks for pointing it out. I have no idea what the other replies to your comment are talking about.
His performance is exquisite.
Listening to that vibrato cleared my skin and grew my crops!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I know that’s right!
I can't even sing this song without breaking down!!! I miss my mom !!!
Minister of Agriculture of some distant and obscure country here: About that last part of your comment: can you confirm? 😄
@@warpnin3 Oh yes, just blast Miss Ella into every farm or plot of arable land ya got and the livin’ will be easy 😝
Do not let these beautiful artists get lost in time
This is absolutely the best rendition of this song ever performed. Hands down
maybe. also like Janis Joplin's version.
If you want to hear the original classical version, try summertime sung by Renee Fleming
💯
At 1:45 when she sings "One of these mornings" I am stunned, amazed in her voice. I love this lady!!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥
Goosebumps
So was the piano player, did you see that look he gave her, he was like, 'Bitch you betta sang!!!'
@@BaKheru piano player looked like he wanted to throw his shoe
That's what the song is all about. The desperate longing for a better future hurts so much that not even a perfect, peaceful summer day and a calm lullaby can hold it back.
Her control over her own instrument was phenomenal. Her long-held notes were unwavering. Her diminuendo was breathtaking. She just stood there and made it look effortless. Plus her tone is very beautifully intimate.
As someone who listens to classical music & opera, technique is very important to me, and Ms. Fitzgerald certainly had loads of them.
You are so right she is AMAZING!!!❤❤
It's Ella what were you expecting? Brittany or Christina or lady gaga
Si ma calmati dio porco
@@brandonshaw7619 😆😆😆😆
Watching this and I'm thinking as great as everybody says Beyonce is... THIS is a singer!!! What i would do to see Ella live!!
No one sings like Ella. Her voice in this song is like sugar.
Her voice was like VELVET. So smooth, rich, and beautiful. Wow, what a legend she is! I’m mesmerized by this performance no matter how many times I watch it!
To me, Ella is the greatest Jazz singer in history. When she sings she is the only one who touches me right to the core of my heart.
Michelle GRUBER
You might try Angelina Jordan, who embodies Ella Fitzgerald in all the best ways, and at 14 years old now, is up there with the greatest jazz singers. Is she better than Ella, No, but you never compare true artist, that would be like comparing Michelangelo and Van Gough.
@@nfpnone8248 i agree with you. I really love angelina jordan.
I love it omg
Sarah is Divine to me!!!!
Hi
That vibrato was so under control, by far, she was one of the best singers capable of pulling that off. Man, she was godly.
She was a legend for the simple reason that she absolutely earned and deserved it. Her range, perfect pitch, control, and impeccable taste in finding the right expression put her in the company of only a select few singers of all time. If you love music, you MUST be aware of Ella Fitzgerald, and if you are not aware of her, this is an oversight you WANT to correct.
Magnificent, wonderful singer, who could scat soo fast. Performed with class & pitch in tune🤔🎹🎶🎵
Very well stated my friend. A class act.
Back in the days one was cherished for talent and voice...when Vinyl and a Radio was rhe best medium..
Progressed; we have not imho
Ella is amazing and my favorite singer. Love her and Louie Armstrong together. ❤❤
Scat singing
How lucky we are that this performance has been recorded....❤
The gold standard and the epitome of class and talent. There will never be another like Ella. Her voice is pure silk...
I can't even sing this song without breaking down!!! I miss my mom !!!
AMEN
I am going through so much heartache right now... Betrayed by a person I love, my mama in her deathbed, so much pain... But whenever I tune into Ella Fitz and Nina Simone and all that jazz, my heart, I swear my heart finds a momentary peace 😔
I wish you good luck and much strength. You will get through this.
Praying for peace, love, and healing in your life.🙏🏽
May God through Jesus Christ bring as no other can Peace & Hope!
God Bless!
Assist ya mama while shes in bed. The other can be cured with some mellow jazz. Love where ever you are now ✨
Keep your head up ... it shall be well
I was 5 years old when this was recorded. What a voice!!! I love that she’s never in too much of a hurry… every note is so special.
Really...... does a female voice get any purer than this. 55yrs later and still incredibly beautiful. Thanks Ella.
listen to Porgy & Bess LP she did w/Louis Amrstrong..the best version ever.. bar none
This evokes an ancestral bind I can’t explain. Love her so much.
Love ❤ her too.
yes
I’d never heard of Ella Fitzgerald before.
I just read a post on twitter saying no one would book this woman to sing in clubs bc she was black but Marilyn Monroe offered to come to a nightclub every night and sit in the front row if they let her sing. Using her privilege for good.
I hear you Ella. I’ve never heard you sing until now but hearing you for the first time feels like I have before in a past life. Wow.
i actually found out about her from this ventriloquist girl on super talent, once i started listening to one song i just couldn't stop especially version with Armstrong
May your discovery of Ella Fitzgerald bring you the pleasure she has brought me, her singing is outstanding.
That story is true. I'm glad you discovered her. Keep discovering! There's a good reason why she was known as The First Lady of Song!
I read that story, too and came here to listen to Ella. Her voice is extraordinary.
Actually the club had booked other black singers before. I think it was because she was also overweight and not a "beauty." That doesn't make it much better.
"One of these morniiiings"... that part always brings tears to my eyes. Just amazingly beautiful and haunting at the same time.
Eu conheci a arte de Ella por volta dos anos 1950, entrando na adolescência.
Hoje vou fazer 82 e ainda a considero a maior cantora de jazz de todos os tempos ❤️
Eu conheci a arte dela faz poucos minutos. Fiquei muito feliz ao ler seu comentário. Temos 60 anos de diferença na idade, mas estamos aqui apreciando a mesma arte graças a essa coisa maravilhosa chamada internet. Lembrei de uma conversa que tive com meu falecido avô, quando tinha 15 anos. Perguntei a ele, caso quisesse ouvir uma música aos 15 anos, como ele fazia. “Tinha que procurar um músico na cidade e pedir pra ele tocar” - Menor município do Rio Grande do Norte 1950. E eu aos 15 anos, bastava dizer o nome de praticamente qualquer música na face da terra e meu celular a reproduzia…
Que incrível anna. E relatando meu caso, a conheci agora , 2022.. nesse exato momento, espero aproveitá-la muito quanto voce. Viva os 82!!
Que comentário mais lindo ♡ tenho 22 e vc alegrou meu dia
Q fofuraaa.. Feliz Aniversário Atrasado 💖
Anna sabe das coisas, Ella é uma fineza só
Her Voice is like a hug from my Mum.
Oh my god My mom used to sing this song to me when i was a toddler, i loved it and never went to bed without her singing it to me. Its one of the fondest childhood memories i ever had but it's taken me 12 years to finally find it! I am literally crying tears of joy right now.
+sportjunky4371 omg , i imagine that feeling and cryed too )) god damn...
+sportjunky4371 , awww God bless you. sweet reminders of mom, the greatest thing!
+sportjunky4371 it's based on old national ukrainian lullaby
Precious discovery. Wow. One of my favorite songs. Sam Cooke version as well. Bless you & your memories.
Because this song was based on the Ukrainian folk lullaby "Ой ходить сон коло вікон".
While in his own description, Gershwin did not use any previously composed spirituals in his opera, Summertime is often considered an adaptation of the African American spiritual "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child", which ended the play version of Porgy.[9][11][12] Alternatively, the song has been proposed as an amalgamation of that spiritual and the Ukrainian Yiddish lullaby Pipi-pipipee.[13] The Ukrainian-Canadian composer and singer Alexis Kochan has suggested that some part of Gershwin's inspiration may have come from having heard the Ukrainian lullaby "Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon" ("A Dream Passes by the Windows") at a New York City performance by Alexander Koshetz's Ukrainian National Chorus in 1929 (or 1926).[14]
0:52, that "you're daddy's rich" line.... put the craziest goosebumps all over my body. Insane singing !
My gran passed away recently and this was her favourite song she sang and now I can't stop listening to it 😢
A goddess who once lived on Earth and left her music here
This, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what you call a true and soulful artist.
tribute ---> facebook.com/K2SPORTSSHOW/ Happy Birth Day Ella #2019
Just the sheer amount of emotion Ella would put into her vocal performances (especially in this song) amazes me! Wish more ppl from my generation knew about her
Ella is the benchmark!!
QUEEN 🙌🏾
Ella was simply the best. I love the moment when she belts out "One of these mornings..." and Tee Carson looks up from his piano in surprise then in absolute admiration. This version is my favorite version of "Summertime" because it captures a humid, hazy day perfectly.
Nick Giandelia you said a mouthful nick. She was such a true master of the art of singing. My folks worshiped her when I was younger and we grew up listening to her but never realized how amazing she was. My little brother and I thought her name was Elephants Jello when we were just learning how to talk. Our folks used to chuckle at that. Now I’m introducing her music to my late 30’s daughters as an example of how good singing can be with out computers sweeting the sounds. They are appreciative of her genius now.
1:44
There will never be another Ella Fitzgerald!!! When my friends were gaga over Elvis, I was listening to the likes of Ella Sings Gershwin. How lucky I was to have a Dad who liked great music!!
Yes, this is one of the best versions of Summertime, but I always love Joplin's rendition.
My father sang this to me as a child. Ella Fitzgerald. What can one say? I sat with an 80 year old welsh friend last year, an old friend of jazz singer Annie Ross who had known many singers over the years. As a teenager he’d travelled from Swansea in Wales to London to see Louis Armstrong, and later gave me his signed copy of Louis Armstrong’s autobiography. He’d known many songwriters and musicians over the years. He’d also seen many great performers sing live. We sat watching a documentary about Ella Fitzgerald. As it finished he said, with tears in his eyes, “At the end of the day she was the greatest of them all.” That’s how I feel when I hear this. Ella. An exceptional talent. A beautiful spirit. A gifted sacred songbird. Reminds me of my father’s smile as he sang to me. Ella always gets to the heart of the song. She always makes you hear the song for the first time. That’s how I feel.
She was my dad's favorite singer. I grew up hearing him sing her songs. Hearing her, I feel him with me. Ella is one of my favorite singers, too. I have never heard better.
Me❤! In 2024! Ella is eternally awesome!
They will still be playing this 100 years from now-pure class!
This has to be the best version of this song... So beautiful... It even brings a tear to my eyes...
Hi I don't know if you'll ever see this post a year later 🤗! But I too, weep when Ella sings this. I feel like I'm standing in God's house 🙏, when she sings Summertime, her voice is That exalted and pure. 🌤🐦
For me too...the top of emotion and grace...what a splendid voice!
@@debszakormos7919a year has passed and I have indeed seen it 😊
So beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes. What an exquisite voice. I love you Ella❤
glad she was born after we discovered the electromagnetic spectrum. now we have her forever.
In her own words, "The only thing better than singing is more singing." I cannot agree more, her voice is liberty to me and that makes her Lady Liberty.
I was privileged to watch her performance in the Kennedy center for our class trip to Washington. Being a young and dumb teenager, I didn’t know who or what this person was. Boy I was impressed. Enjoyed the experience very much.
That’s so great, seems you are also a great fan of her music like me?@Diane Taylor
Found this song by accident today,6/1/22. **SIGHS**It's the phenomenal Ella Fitzgerald singing from one of my most favorite plays: Porgie and Bess. Her voice just wraps around you, holds you & gently lulls you to sleep. Such a treasure & so glad I was already familiar with her music. This just adds to my repertoire.❤❤❤
music is life and heal the soul differently, nice lyrics and sweet voice
✍️👂👂👁️👁️💖💖
Listening into and focusing on her voice... you come to appreciate the stripped down instrumentation as opposed to a full orchestra. That creates an intimacy wherein the sound of her voice easily penetrates your soul. This is a dynamite arrangement right here.
This is the best thing I've ever heard in my life
Amen to that.
Tsatsi Rugege so well sais and so true
This belongs to Mahalia Jackson!
whitney houston still the best 🥰
Única! Maravilhosa!
Of all the musical moments I've ever heard in my life, this is BY FAR one of the most powerful.
There's Judy Garland singing "Over The Rainbow" at the Palace in 1952.
There's Sarah Vaughan singing "Here's That Rainy Day" in 1988.
There's Billie Holiday singing "Strange Fruit" in 1959.
And there's Ella Fitzgerald singing "Summertime" in 1968.
To me, these are untouchable moments in music.
And I love Sarah Vaughan singing Misty...even while fighting a cold, she was a class act.
Oh I would add Dee Warwick’s & Linda Ronstadt’s Down So Low 🔥
I prefer Nina Simone's strange fruit, but to each their own.
Agreed, completely. If this is how you feel, you will appreciate Ella's live performance of "How High the Moon" in Berlin - I forget the year, but will edit to add. I have only heard and never seen the performance, but critics the world over still bow down before the mastery she demonstrated through that one song. Sarah Vaughn refers to the performance in her cover of the same song:
"Ella Fitzgerald sings this song,
Real, real, real crazy
Shabadoobadoobedobedobe
That's the way she sings it
So I'm gonna try to sing it that way for you,
So-o-o-o here goes, here goes
How High the Moon"
You will thank me.
Celine Dion's "I Cant Help Falling In Love With You" (1993) comes to my mind when I think mind blowing vocal performances. You have to stay til the end!

Ella's voice takes our attention and the band skillfully complements Ella without trying to steal the limelight. Ella Fitzgerald should be Dame Ella Fitzgerald, one of the true masters of her craft.
Just wow, listening for the first time good god. The way she sang this song in Germany 1968 is perfect. Wish i was there at this very moment.
Look at the reaction of the piano player at 1:42-1:50 !!!
cocoonecoco 😂
Word he was shook lol
I'm jealous of that brodaaa
good catch!
FRA NON VEDO NU CAZZO
She was just perfect. Perfectly in control of her instrument. Her voice was a once in a lifetime phenomenon, or maybe even less.
Janis joplin with summertime was also huge! Her voice is on an equal level with fitzgerald
@@blauerpelikan Joy Brown
Evola disagrees
@blauerpelikan what an insult.. that hippie had some obnoxious pipes but you should apologize
You can hear the pain carried by generations in her voice. It's incredible.
you got it sir this sound comes from generations of pain, hurt, and sorrow
Фантастика! Ни одного лишнего звука! Изысканное исполнение!
a voice like velvet, butter, moonbeams and love....
And yet raw when it needs to be: "One of these mornings..." utter control over her instrument. Genius.
The best version of the song! you can feel every part. her voice is priceless.
No. For direct expression of the soul the best version is always that of Janis Joplin
ЭЛЛА ФИТЦДЖЕРАЛЬД- гениальная ,одна из лучших певиц 20 века( а может быть и 21 тоже).Голос магический и завораживающий,глубокий ,как океан!!! И она безусловно лучшая в мире исполнительница этой песни! и не только этой песни...Величайшая певица! БРАВО!
This is the hardest song in the world to sing properly. You have to sing it soooo slowly, like floating down the Mississippi on a hot day with no current.
@@unicounici3772 i don't agree with that AT ALL!!!...the janis joplin version is nothing compare to that....here it's pure absolute heartfelt talent ...feeling.. and MUSIC
Hitting those low notes is unreal. I was never a big fan of Mrs. Fitzgerald until today. Summertime is my favorite jazz standard.
One of the very few singers who remembers that this song is first and foremost a lullaby. And that band...total support of what she's doing. Damn near perfect...
Definitely proving her voice was the strongest instrument on that stage.
Wow. Her movement between notes is of heaven.
1:20 Her voice right here, I couldn't believe that was her voice producing that sound almost like an actual instrumental. Truly angelic.
There really are no words...other than she embodied her voice, and her voice embodied her. Another realm entirely. ❤
She felt each and every lyric and sang each word with the upmost conviction, milking each run like butter and organically for our ears.
One of my favorite performances of all time. You gotta sweat so you know it's real.
Ella is the queen, because she feels every single note.
A true artist can pierce your soul and make you feel the pain or troubles of a song, the background..
This beautiful interpretation is loaded with an extraordinary feeling, it seems to come from her very soul!!!
Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Cleo Laine (still alive at 94), Dinah Washington, just a short list of mid-twentieth giants in song. No gimmicks, no auto tune, just sheer talent and technique.
Musical nourishment for the soul. Ms. Fitzgerald is definitely one of the greatest voices in recorded history.
+Thang Vuong THE greatest in my mind.
+odo5435 I would say her only peer is Sarah Vaughn
odo5435 Billie Holiday can't be topped!
I'm here in 2020 and it's still one of the best songs ever and performances by Ella
Amen ....I agree this is One of the greatest performance of this song written by George Gershwin. It's always been one of my favorite songs ever since I heard it of over 50 years ago.
✌❤🎶🙏
What a talent
@@markedwards1412 Yes she was , no, Ella is a Musical Icon! I grew up listening to her album's along with George Gershwin and other fabulous musicians that my parents loved and had collected.
Didn't really realize how lucky I was and that they had such good taste, until I was over at some of my friends houses. When they played the music they had loved and grown up with I realized not all parents had the same good taste in music.
Let's just say I appreciated the music my folk's turned me onto even more.
I loved and insisted that I got all their albums of Ella Fitzgerald, George Gershwin and several other artists that my folk's had collected after they both had passed away.
Still have them but need a new turn table.
✌❤🎶👍
KEH 🇨🇦
Still hear
And agreeing with you
Summertime
Completely agree with you
She's the template of what is greatness is, she must be the greatest singer of all, the way she use her voice to reach from low to high notes and her timing is unbelievable, she does thing with her voice that is almost impossible for any other to even try to attemp,
THE BLACKSTONES
Wow she had the perfect voice and phrasing. She was a true master. I am awed by her skill.
As I remember all the most famous voices ever, such as Frank Sinatra believed Ella was the greatest voice to be put on this earth! If he said that you can believe it!!
During and after the pandemic now, I listen to this song. Just to remind myself of the blessings we receive from summertime. So graceful, thank you, Ms. Ella ❤
My biggest regret in this life is that I never got a chance to hear Ella live. What a heavenly voice she had.
Anders Emil
Что такое счастье, я понял, когда в 1966 году купил в ГДР гигантский виниловый диск со стереозаписями песен Эллы. И слушая его сейчас, я наслаждаюсь и радуюсь, как и 54 года назад (! Mamma Mia !!! ). Хотя сейчас мне немного грустно оттого, что её давно нет с нами. Мне нравится её пение, потому что она открывает нам свою душу, «по душам» неторопливо и задушевно говорит с нами или взрывается бешеным темпом песни. Великая певица !!!
What happiness is, I realized when in 1966 I bought a giant vinyl disc with stereo recordings of Ella's songs in the GDR. And listening to it now, I enjoy and rejoice, like 54 years ago (! Mamma Mia !!!). Although now I am a little sad that she has not been with us for a long time. I like her singing, because she opens her soul to us, “heart to heart” slowly and sincerely speaks to us or explodes with the frantic tempo of the song. Great singer !!!
Сейчас уже нет таких. Мда.

One of my favourite songs of all time sung by the greatest vocalist I ever heard!
I literally play over and over and over..ovation to ♾️...everytime is the first..I don't want melody and intrigue to cease.wish was front and center..I would cry.
She has THE best voice. Perfect pitch, soulful, amazing. PRAISE TO ELLA!!😊
Absolutely and she does it like no one else.
For me, she has the best voice i have heard in a Woman alive or dead
Zek Papas I agree. And so elegant and classy.
I have never heard a dead woman singing but I can agree with the first part of your statement!!!
and Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington :)
Those descending piano chords @ 3:09 to 3:16 gives me chills. And of course Ella's vocal performance is always thrilling. Her voice just sends me.
This woman had a beautiful & powerful voice.
louis armstrong
I know I’m late listening to her but this is amazing her voice is like a brass instrument and truly amazing
That Vibratto
Yessss!
The greatest female vocalist of the modern era. Hands down, head and shoulders above anyone else. No competition.
Aretha is right with her
She has competition. Plenty of it. Let's start with Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan.
@@EPA18 not Billie Holliday but yes Sarah
@@nakitawilliams4259 Not Billie Holiday?
Lots of competition but to me she is the GOAT. IMO she was the complete package, combining extraterrestrial musicianship and unparalleled scats with heart, soul and just a beautiful sound. ❤ 4ever.
Stunning. She was the miles Davis of vocals, choosing the best notes that created the best harmony without the harmony being explicit. I challenge you musicians to sing 1-3-5 over her melody and you'll hear she always catches the perfect extension. Whether 6 or 9, she was very well in the tone.
Words fail me. Not only is this song so potent lyrically, Ms Ella made it seem like there was no separation between her, music, melody and delivery like it was always meant to be perfect. I take this song for granted until I am forced to return to this - where I first fell under the spell 😢
She arranged the vocal as she was going along, diction, phrasing musicality, vocal shading..... this is incredible. Ella could gently alter her voice subtly to suit the emotion of a lyric. Listen to the very last word of this song.
There was nobody even close to Ella, she was in a class of her own.
Best Ever Performance done by Ella with this song! Where she master the control of her voice like nobody's business without no effort, and seamlessly ! Wow...Love that woman!....
Had the joy of seeing Miss Fitzgerald perform. Genius with a marvelous sense of mischief. Sublime.
This is almost spiritual... her voices literally raised up something in my soul! Captivating!
You hit it.
Feeling humble, and grateful, to have had the chance to listen to this
Me to 💖
"the first lady of song is that her nickname?"
"Maybe so.. maybe so "
Replays in my mind everytime
I'm a huge Ella fan, and this was absolutely beautiful. She and the musicians deserved a standing ovation for this. Several standing ovations, rather. This wes SUBLIME.
Hello how Are you doing i Hope you are having a good day today
A poem written for Ella Fitzgerald
ua-cam.com/video/l9qQi-LrU9Y/v-deo.html
thank you for giving props to the band as well! while ella’s voice was unmatched (seriously, her vocals here _command_ my undivided attention - and scratches something in my brain i didn’t know was itching), the band’s minimal accompaniment adds a layer of impressionism and grit to this piece that serves as the perfect backdrop to miss fitzgerald’s minor-key runs, in my opinion
Watching Ella Fitzgerald over and over again. Summertime is the most beautiful song from this lovely lady
That piano is so haunting it gives me chills. The drums give me goose bumps.
Tenho 42 anos e lamento não ter nascido na época dessa extraordinária mulher , essa canção mexe com meu espírito e me trás uma energia tão positiva da vida mesmo diante dos percalços que já passei e dos desafios que estam aí na frente para eu encarar. Obrigado senhora Fitzgerald por está linda canção, que Deus a tenha em sua glória pois seu legado jamais morrerá.
Ella ...absolute perfection!!!!
For me the best live version of Summertime .. Splendid atmosphere and voice....Ella forever...a masterpiece
Элла Фицджеральд!
Одна из величайших вокалисток в истории джазовой музыки!
Брависсимо!!!
Светлая память!
С уважением, Валерий Романов.
Вы правы😊😊🎉🎉
He voice influenced all of the greatest singers, such as Aretha, Chaka Khan, Minnie Riperton, Roberta Flack, Esther Phillips and such. A voice of an angel, a pure one-off legend of music!!
this woman is a genius. You have to have a certain vocal conformation to certain sounds. A certain sensitivity, a certain competence... a certain knowledge of the pain and evil of life. You have to be a genius... to be so sweet.
