      @@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!!!

    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!❤

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @TheOriginalRick
    @TheOriginalRick Год назад

    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.
