Hi vibes fam!! It your girl lorah, and this is my entry for this week’s Competition. I chose to sing Summertime following this weeks theme. Tho it wasn’t easy finding a song cause songs in that era are quite technical. then i saw summertime and I remember @verbal-d commenting on one of my entries that my performance and expressiveness is like that of Ella Fitzgerald, and i’m so grateful he made that comment, thats why i decided to go for summertime.


It was originally composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess, and later performed by other great artists. For my entry, I was especially inspired by the version sung by Ella Fitzgerald and I decided to sing it in her style, and I really hope you enjoy it!”

Lyrics

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 gonna rise up singin'
Yes, you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
Mm, but 'til that mornin'
There's nothin' can harm you
Yes, with Daddy and Mommy standin' by
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich (Dad is rich)
And your ma is good lookin'
(Your ma good lookin', ah, don't you see it? Ooh)
So hush, little baby (new mornin'), baby, don't you cry
(Oh, don't you cry, oh, don't you cry)
Don't you cry (oh, don't you cry, oh, don't you cry)
