Though I really like Janis, for me the favorite version of this song has to be Ella Fitzgerald:

Sam Cooke does a really good version of Summertime.

A great American classic. There are too many good versions to pick just one.

I remember this version when it came out, never associated it with this guy. Completely different meaning way he sings it.

I have a soft spot for the original Porgy and Bess version:



I cannot disagree that Ella is the best that there has ever been. But when you ad in Louis? Damn that is some good music:
