Several folk had the same idea as me for 'S'. It just has to be Summertime.
And it is Summertime; the sun is showing herself a wee bit today though it could be a tad warmer.
Never mind, just listen to Ella Fitzgerald, what a voice, what a song!
Enjoy.
Summertime
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
George Gershwin
Any suggestions for 'T'?

Ah yes, a southern song.
I adore listening to Ella F.
Tears in Heaven, my choice or maybe Time After Time by Cindi Lauper.
Oh, Cait, thank you for Ella and Summertime.
I was so frightened that there could have been pressure for Frank and Strangers in the Night.
No chance, right?
For T, I do admit to liking that Ms Lauper...although there is also
Take me to the river.
The first time, ever I saw your face...
Time is on my side.
or, Thunder Road.
Oh, Cait, I know that you will pick a fabulous tune. (Remember though, W is not far away.) xo
Hello Cait,
Just trying to catch up, oh yes, love Summertime song and adore the version sung by Ella, she has the most amazing voice.
For the letter 'T', like Frances I love- The First Time Ever I saw Your Face.
xx
Hi Cait
My S would have to be the Charles Aznavour song "She", but sung by Elvis Costello. It was our fave song. Great blog!
Mr W.x
