Of course, we’re starting with “Summertime” (https://youtu.be/eUzzaJl4KJM?is=GF-R_DkxRxcVxq1D) from the 1935 opera “ Porgy and Bess”. It was composed by George Gershwin and the lyrics are from DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin. This jazz-inspired lullaby is first sung by the devout yet tragic wife & mother Clara to her child, and is reprised throughout the opera. It’s considered to be one of the most covered songs in the world with over 25,000 different versions!
