☀️ Summertime - Gershwin's Porgy and Bess Acoustic Cover

And the livin' is easy... George Gershwin's 1935 lullaby from Porgy and Bess has become one of the most covered songs in history - and for good reason.

ABOUT SUMMERTIME

"Summertime" was composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess, with lyrics by DuBose Heyward. It's been recorded over 33,000 times, making it one of the most covered songs ever written.

Gershwin drew on African American spirituals and jazz to create this haunting lullaby. The song captures the lazy heat of a Southern summer while hinting at the hardships beneath the surface calm.

From Billie Holiday to Janis Joplin, from Louis Armstrong to Willie Nelson, virtually every major artist has taken a crack at "Summertime." Each version reveals something new about this deceptively simple melody. After 60 years of playing guitar, I still find new depths in it.
