"Summertime" - Ella Fitzgerald - Live Performance

"The First Lady of Song" Ella Fitzgerald & the Tee Carson trio performing
"Summertime" Live in Berlin in 1968.
"Summertime" is an 'aria", which is a self-composed piece for one voice, with or without instrumental or orchestral accompaniment, normally part of a larger work. Composed by the legendary George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess, this song soon became a popular and much-recorded jazz standard, described as one of his finest compositions. Gershwin's highly evocative writing brilliantly mixes elements of jazz and the song styles of African-Americans in the South-East United States from the early twentieth century".

I heard and saw her (right up by the stage) at a small club in NYC in around 1965, and remember leaving with the thought that I would love to marry her just to hear her voice in the morning.

She is just phenomenal and touches one's soul in way rarely a performer ever was able to.
