Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby, baby, don't you cry

One of these mornin's, you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that mornin', there is nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mummy, Mummy standing by
Don't you cry...

The emotional intensity of Nina Simone's music is beyond comparison. This rendition is so raw and honest.

I agree!

I've heard more versions of this song than I can count and this is one of the most unique and soulful. Love Nina.

Septimus Warren Smith

Very nice ticklin of the ivories! And the beat is just right. Nina was a highly talented pianist, but she barely ever needed to actually look at the keys while she was singing. Her hands are magic. Her soul is out of this world. And her singing has no imitators. Just precious, spine tingling, power.

Every jazzsinger needs a version of Summertime :)

Janet Meils

I read about this version in a novel (“The Lola Quartet” by Emily St. John Mandel). Had to check it out- very interesting interpretation.❤

Untouchable! Nina does it with Finesse and Fire🔥 Sangs it like those times we will always remember.
