Summertime

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'?

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.

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!
