I think this version is a 1938 recording. She cuts the tune and brings its bones at the sunlight showing her self as the real first, greatest rocker in the world.

Thanks. Just went & googled it & found this...Billie Holiday was one of the first jazz musicians to record music from the opera. She and her orchestra recorded "Summertime" in July of 1936 and it rose to 12th place on the music charts that September. I'd thought it was in '37.

Does she have other versions? I know I had this years ago on vinyl, but don't remember if it's the same. This track is off a double CD...Billie Holliday - 49 Original Recordings - that I got a couple of years ago.

Thanks, cause I sweated walking & shooting around 11:30 AM taking most of the pics that hot summer day. Do appreciate it. Towards the end are pictures I'd taken at various times, some even in January. ;)

I getcha. I like others, like Janis Joplin, Ella & others. To me the difference with Billie's is the soft understated jazziness. Most other people sing the hell out of the song. Billie's stands alone.

I think Joplin's version is the most soul etching.

Billie's and Ella's are my favourite versions, both unique and so different from eachothers. Ella's is more polished but Billie's shows an enchanting vulnerability.
