"Summertime" is from an American opera called "Porgy & Bess" written by George Gershwin 1935.
Music by George Gershwin, Lyrics by Ira Gershwin😊.
Most people don’t realize it’s from an OPERA!
There have been many renditions of this amazing song, Billy Stewart's is my favorite
@@ecast0357 yeah, it's an incredible interpretation of a classic with some tasteful jazz improv in both the rhythm and the vocal..... almost like taking a great song and making it better. Once I heard this version I forgot all about the rest. Thank you Billy Stewart!!!
Billy Stewart is so underated glad to see others enjoy the vibes...no cap❤
Of all the versions of "Summertime", this is the DEFINITIVE version....why Billy Stewart is not a household name has always baffled me!
Asia & BJ, his other hits are “I Do Love You” and “Sitting In The Park”!!! Billy’s “Summertime” is a cover, it was written before he was born!
Sitting in the Park a staple in East L.A. oldies.👍
Billy was great. Didn't get the recognition he deserved.
Very true
Asia and BJ, ya'll just made my day!! Have loved Billy Stewart's voice and style of singing since first hearing him back in the 60's. He is definitely a vibe. And Asia you're right in that you've heard the slower traditional version of this song. Well Billy Stewart jazzed it up and put his own stamp on it! Ya'll have got to check out more of his music! Songs like Sitting in the Park, I Do Love You, and Fat Boy. Can't wait to hear more! Thanks for the reaction guys! I really enjoyed it!❤
One of the best songs ever!!!! ❤️
Summertime was written by the great American Classical/Jazz composer George Gershwin-who included it in his opera Porgy and Bess-he insisted the whole cast was black to make the first opera featuring all black performers. It first came out in 1935.
I heard this song for the first time about 20 years ago on a PBS special and I was blown away. I went and bought Billy Stewart's greatest hits album and I love it. I wish more people were exposed to him because he's fantastic with a sound all his own. So, thanks for playing "Summertime" which is perfect for the summertime.
Wow. This was one of my and my husband’s favorite songs back in the day. Billy Stewart was the best. This brings back so many great memories. Thanks so much for this. Your channel is fantastic and always enjoy when you flirt with each other. Keeping it real!!!👏👏❤️
My favorite version! I. love it. .Def do more Billy Stewart ,please
My first time as well. Glad to hear it with you. Now I gonna go find a copy of this on vinyl.
Many many have covered this song, and done a great job because it’s that kind of song! This is a good rendition of that song and he sings it perfectly😊
It usually is done slow..but Billy has his own unique style.
Check out his original versions Sitting in the Park and I Do Love You
Yep...
Summertime was written originally for the classic musical Porgy and Bess. Music and Lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin respectively. Composed 1934. There are endless covers of it. This is one of the most unique.
George and Ira Gershwin wrote this one......lots of versions...this one is my favorite!!!!
My brother and his friends used to go and listen live to Billy Stewart at Myrtle Beach, SC.
So underrated!!! What talent!!!❤❤❤ Billy!!!
I am so glad someone finally reacted to this version of this song.
Aww, Asia, BJ yall done went ahead and pulled out something perfect to add my warm summer night's rooftop play list.
Yes, you’re right Asia, you did hear summer time really slow. Most likely you heard the Sam Cooke version.
Billy killed it! I love his unique artistic style. My favorite version of Summertime. BJ is really feeling it as it should be.
Billy was so great. Died too young. He was driving with three of his bandmates in his new Thunderbird across a long bridge over the Neuse River in North Carolina. For some unknown reason the car ran off the bridge into the river and all four of them were killed. We will never know what happened.
Try listening to "Sitting in the park " and " I do love you " I heard the covers done by GQ which i love that's what got me to listen to the original by Billy Stewart
I am an 81 year old white woman who has been in love with this version since I first heard about about 50 or 60 years. The Best version. Song from Potty and Bess. Billy died at age 32 in a tragic auto accident
i have a shortened version of this on a mix tape somewhere. the first time i have ever heard the full version. thank you.
Good Day Friends, so glad you found my favorite version of Summertime. God bless you, thank you for your channel and may your path always rise up to greet you!
Wow. I've never heard this rendition before.
Its a very famous song frome the black opera porgy & bess, and yes Fantasia did it on American Idol.
Best version I have ever heard IMO.this is coming from an 81 year old white gal who first heard it 55 years ago
This was niceeee!!!❤ Yesss we've all heard the different versions but I've never heard it quite like this... the music alone had me moving🎶❤️🔥🎶💃 and it just made me SMILEEEE👏😁👏
I grew up listening to oldies in ELA and Billy Stewart was very popular back then. *Strange feelings* and *Cross my heart*, as well as *I do love you* & *Sitting in the Park* were played all the time- for years. Oldies don't get Old 😊
That was called double voicing and Billy Stewart invented that style super awesome voice very hard to do......,
this was done in the 60s and he was very underated talent
🕺🕺 Great Cover 👏👏❤️✌️
Guys if Billy would not have died young he would have been one of the Greatest of all time, Listen to his song "" Sittin in the Park ". 👍🎹🎷🎸😎 Thank You.
I recall this was a BIG hit when it was released!
WOW! Thanks for that!
Over the Rainbow and Moonriver are an other masterful rendeition of the late great Mr. Billy Stewart.
Billy Stewart has a style of singing his songs. If you hear Sitting In The Park and I Do Love You you will hear it. Billy amped up his style and put this funky jazz on it. This version is so hot. still! It's a show tune.
I've never heard this song. I luuuvvv it!
A great song and artist ! Love this song
Good bive this song my favorite at belly Stewart fantastic voice in the instrument sound so Good👏👏👏
Porgy & Bess was a 'black' opera (Porgy & Bess). Yes, the original version in the opera & sang by others is a slow song. He was one of the singers to re-arrange the song into a 45 dance song.
Awesome... I've never heard this done up tempo. Gives it a whole different vibe. 🔥
Fantasia on American Idol ...was the Summertime slow version i heard...solid i felt.
1st time i heard the OG. Thank u guys💪
Yes Fantasia did summertime on American idol. And she did a fantastic job.
It was written by George Gershwin in the 30s or 40s and was featured in movie called Porgy and Bess.
While I love everything Billy Stewart released in the 60's, I think the best version of this Gershwin tune is the Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong version. Check it out!
I first heard Billy Stewart sing in 1967, been a huge fan of him every since then. Check out " Sitting in the Park", and " I do Love You " both 🔥🔥❤️
That's an oldie; first recording goes way back to the ? 1930's ? This one, Billy's recording, is from the 1960's. Been covered a number of times since the 30's; Ella did one. You might also enjoy SUBLIME's cover of it.
Hands down, my new favorite version!
If I Remember right Bobby Hatfield (righteous brothers) sings it also??
You’re right about it being slower. This is Billy’s rendition and it’s fire isn’t it? Enjoy youngins👍🏾
Summertime falls squarely in the center of what is known as the Great American Songbook. It would be easier to list who DIDN'T sing this song in the 40s and 50s. Everyone took a whack at it. Everyone. But Stewart put a unique spin on it that set his version far apart from any others. Perhaps that is why his was on the charts as a major pop hit.
Great song. Thanks for doing this. As soon I finish writing this reaction I am going to download it. Great reaction Asia and Bj. Appreciate you
I can't believe the only time I have heard this before now was in the movie Stuck on You
The absolute best version of this song, IMO, and one of my all time faves. The more you play it, the more you love it.
It's a show tune from Porgy and Bess, that had an all Black cast, back in the early 60s I believe.
Sooooo good!
Well I had it wrong altogether. I thought this was the song about in the summer time when the weather is hot And you got women on your mind.
This is one of the most covered songs in the American songbook. Check out Janis Joplin's version when she was with Big Brother and the Holding Company.
Billy was a phenomenal vocalist. You both should check out another GREAT SONG he had a hit with called "Sitting in the park".
Asia and BJ, I love ALL of the versions of this song!❤ But I do remember this version coming across the radio airways when I was a very little girl and liked it right away...(mom used to say I danced off of anything music 😅). Al Jarreau has a great version of it, too, on his cd called "Tenderness". Great reaction.
This is such a great vocal performance by Billy Stewart and it was so cool seeing how you guys really got it. And it sounds like a live in the studio type of track.......just dynamite!!
I think Summertime is considered to be a vintage jazz/blues standard from way back but you won't find a version that resembles this one.
Billy Stewart does an awesome job singing Carolina Beach Music. ⛱️
Shout out from Florence SC.
Billy Stewart, southern classic in the Vario, Y'all should liston to Fat Boy - I do love you, Hes all 🔥...
Fookin Excellent.
Listen to his Sitting In The Park, Count Me Out, he has a great catalogue of songs
Wow!!! I’ve never heard this before either. But you’re right…the original is slow. Thanks for this. 😊
I haven't heard Billy Stewart since 66 or so. Ive forgotten his other songs.
You can check Al Jarreau's cover of this song. It's nice.
Summer Time!!! 60's swag!!!
You should hear Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong signing Summertime or Janis Joplin signing Summertime 2 different styles but just as good.
Great rendition!
You should try Ivory Joe Hunter songs ( Since I Met You Baby / Empty Arms / A Girl I Used To Know /I Almost Lost My Mind /I'm Still Here ) are just a few
Please listen to
Billy Strings and Marcus Kings live version
You will love it I promise anything by Billy Strings, but that one in particular
I'm sure he probably started that particular style
Best version of this song...
George Gershwin is probably rolling in his grave or grooving in Heaven! George Gershwin wrote this song in 1934 for the movie Porgy and Bess and is the most covered song in the world!!
Your should list cross my heart by billy stewart great song ever
My favorite version is done by Sublime
Asia and BJ, Billy is not scating he is rolling his tongue. 😊
Hello brother & sister, sam cookes version is cool, but this version is so exciting because of the magnificent maurice white from earth. wind, & fire playing the drums!
fiiiiire!!!
Try Everybody Hurts by REM AWESOME SONG
Janis Joplin did a great cover of this song.
Sam Cooke made a version of summertime in the early 60s
React to Sitting in the Park by Billy Stewart.
Billy Holliday, Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald duo and Janis Joplin all do amazing versions of this song
You can here how he influenced Michael Jackson with the scat singing
Please play "Holding on to Yesterday " by Ambrosia
This was 1966 unfortunitely he died a young age 32
Best version of this i've heard is by Janis Joplin.
Try "Fatboy"!!! 🔥 🔥
React please one ok rock take what you want live
