Summertime: Journey To The Center Of A Song 3
Stag-O-Lee presents the third volume in a series called 'Journey To The Centre Of The Song', celebrating one song at a time, and its many guises and interpretations. Written by George Gershwin and his brother Ira for their opera 'Porgy & Bess' in 1934, this song has become part of the American Songbook and been covered in many styles and genres. From Rodney & The Blazers' upbeat surf'strumental shaker to the sweet and soulful Sam Cooke, from the rock'n'roll stroller by Rick Nelson that inspired Deep Purple's 'Black Night', to the latin-infused intro by Edmundo Ross.
