Summertime

George & Ira Gershwin

Here's a song that seems to pop up all over the place. There are a couple of recent covers by some unexpected people and a few of classics from many a year ago. The music was originally composed by George Gershwin in 1935, lyrics by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin.
