Summertime

Over 50 years ago, I was blessed to have seen Ella at a college concert. I became a teacher and taught for 35 years. Almost every day, as we were preparing to go home, I would play Ella and other greats. My kids loved her. We celebrated her birthday every year, April 25th. She gave us so much joy, it was the least I could do to pass on her angelic voice to my fourth graders. I raised about 1000 kids during my teaching years and I'll bet that most of them grew up to remember Ella and realize how blessed we all were to have had her. What she and Satchmo do to this song (Summertime) is pure genius. As you read the comments, every one who loved her expresses it so beautifully. She was and still is one of our greatest blessings!

Listening in 2024 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Trumpet: Louis Armstrong

¡Dios! Tuviste que crear un mundo para que pudiéramos escuchar esta maravillosa canción!

How does a chord progression sound like the heat of summer? Gershwin was a genius.

This is one of the best pieces of music. The band, her grace. His voice, his grace. This is actually a treasure.

If this masterpiece is not played in my funeral I'm not going

A timeless classic. I want to die with this song playing. "One of these mornings, you're gonna rise up singing, you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky"❤️❤️❤️

Tuned in to hear this one last time. The love of my life recently left this world and this was her favorite song.

What a timeless classic this is. ❤

Queen 👑 Ella ❤ #2024

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 [Verse 1] One of these mornings You're gonna rise up singing Yes you'll spread your wings And you'll take to the sky But 'til that morning There ain't nothin' can harm you With Daddy and Mammy standin' by

Her and Satch on this. Beyond compare. Sublime.

The quality in this piece of music is simply on another level Legendary

The most beautiful voice ever

My late wife had an inhuman voice, and would break into this often when doing random things around the house. Can't hear this song without crying now.

Great singers of the time will never be forgotten Ella and L Armstrong were exceptional.

Ella and Louis was such an epic combination, nothing beats the two of them singing together

I swear to god, Ella's voice is like grabbing a dark chocolate bar and dipping it in honey. Aphrodisiac, elegant, sweet, powerful, everything

Ella an Satchmo...precious
