Musical flashback

Jul 05, 2008 03:20

I'd forgotten how much fun listening to Ella Fitzgerald is. Not that I've done it much, but when I worked for Kim, she'd put on old recordings while we were sewing. Something about the slinky slow sound was always great to zone and sew to. I think perhaps I need some Jazz in my music collection. The reason for this discovery being a random internet association that led me to look up Summertime, and find it on itunes sung by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong. Lyrics under the cut for anyone who wishes to check em out.

Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're goin' to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But till that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by
