Song: Summertime/Motherless Child
Artist: Mahalia Jackson
I love this song and I still think my favourite version is sung by Sam Cooke. However there are a lot of great versions of this song. Mahalia Jackson combined the song with Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child. It was traditionally a slave/gospel song. With her voice she brings both a sad and yet refreshing feeling.
Luckily I got to see a wonderful documentary called Gershwin’s Summertime: The Song that Captured the World. If you live in the UK you can still watch it on BBC’s iPlayer.
