La cover
Visto che sarebbe impossibile, o quasi, pubblicare tutte le versioni di questa canzone, ho deciso di sceglierne solo un paio. Ma l’elenco è lungo e lo si può trovare qui…
Summertime
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
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
