Comment:
If one of the hallmarks of a song's greatness is the number & variety of cover versions, then the Gershwin / Gershwin / Heyward / Heyward classic is most definitely a contender. Here's the evidence...and no, the absence of Joplin isn't an oversight. I know I'm in a minority here but I consider her semi-hysterical caterwauling one of the most over-rated noises in pop. Thanks to Nick F for the Ayler track. You're a prince!Feedback:
I did one of these, and since I don't know jack about HTML, here's the unelegant link: http://www.artofthemix.org/FindAMix/getcontents.asp?strMixID=82485. Looks like we have only a couple of duplicates. (Oh, and unlike you, I really dig her version of the song.) Some of these I shudder at, but most look great. I'd love to hear 15, especially.
Well lost beat you to the punch, but it is a song worth hearing over and over - nice work. And you now have a place in "Never Too Much of a Good Thing" - check it out at AOTM Exhibitions.
This is fantastic! Nice choices. I'm a huge Gershwin fan, and this is one of my favorite songs. My mom used to sing it to me when I was little. Have you ever heard the Nick Drake version? It's lovely...
"Summertime" is definitely one of the greatest songs of the 20th century and there are a million fantastic versions, many of which you've included here. Great idea and great execution.
Amazingly eclectic collection of versions. Excellent.
Have you heard the UFO mix of Sarah Vaughan's version? I'm sure lostinthejazzmix knows about it, being a huge jazz fan and all. You can find the track on the Verve Remixed disc. It's pretty wild.
Very Nice
Having had a great time with lostinthejazzmix's "Summertime" collection, I'd love to trade something to hear this too . . .
This is a real shape-shifter of a song, it seems to belong to a whole lot of different performers -

Looks really great. I think there are so many versions, almost EVERYONE could do this mix and not repeat songs.
As soon as I saw this I was crossing my fingers that you put the Resident's cover on this mix and YAY, there it is!
I'm putting together a "Summertime" mix for my 5th graders. This has helped a bunch, thanks. Great choices. Booker T and the MGs' is a personal fave.
