Al Jarreau - Summertime Lyrics






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

    A friend of mine Ethiopian, when we were living in ROME Italy ,brought the cassette Tape of Mr Aljarreau! We were young in our Twenties,in 1983 so we had both beautiful Ethiopian girl friends! So we all sat in a caffe place to listen jarreau! All of us fall in love with Mr Aljarreau music,since then, Aljarreau is in our blood! And I remember, Mr George Benson! Sued Jarreau! For acquiring the same style of music! And later George Benson, accepted jarreau and they both played together. When the world think of America! They see America through , Aljarreau George,Benson ! This musicians represent, Jazz,as the ultimate source of music! A gift of America to the world,! It so powerful! Be proud being black and African descent.

    This man is one of the best. I'm from New Orleans and the first time I saw him was at the Warehouse and I was hooked. Took my boyfriend, my sisters, my friends, all at different times, but each time , they all became fans. I myself saw him 6 times the last at the Jazz and Heritage Festival and he still sounded wonderful. RIP Mr Jarreau you're missed but your music lives on😥😍

    Did y'all know that Al Jarreau had spinal surgery and was in a lot of pain? I Love Al Jarreau more than you.

  73. S.... E....

    Love yah, man! Yeah, we felt like we knew you... you sang and were in our hearts and our lives. You sang with such originality, purity and timelessness... there's never been anyone like you, Al Jarreau!!

  74. P.... D....

    Al Jarreau was just a one of a kind phenomenon, and Alita Moses has so much talent. So Nice to here /see her showcased here. Love this duet piece ♥♥

  75. p.... ....

    Wow... quelle belle interprétation !!! et ce Al Jarreau irremplaçable, qui vit sa musique de manière unique sur scène. Une Alita Moses, sublime, avec sa voix suave et parfaitement juste. Quel magnifique duo et quelle belle complicité !!!

  76. T.... M....

    DAMN". That body sure is BANGin! Of course it isn't a HARD ON ...Oops!... PLEASE excuse me? I mean it isn't hard to ( FIGURE ) out which of the two I'm speaking of!

    T.... M....

    The Master E Brooks .....it isn't hard to figure out which of the 2 I’m speaking..... sounds silly, but better than using 2 'of's. Using 2 'of's is incorrect English. - And she's lovely, hey!? (I'm a straight female, but can see she's GORGEOUS!) She's got a great voice too. I have to add that I find (found) HIS act, the DELIVERY of his act, really really annoying. I wonder if I’m alone in thinking that he carried on with a lot of stupidity when he was singing. Which wasn't necessary...because his singing voice was quite OK, and he didn't need to carry on with such rubbish !

    T.... M....

    @DeeMor501 Sometimes when people are highly revered by so many as a world renown recording artist such a thing could actually be enough to go straight to their head and if they are not careful it could also cause them to get a bit beside themselves. This was the case that you seem to clearly notice based on his character of person during the entire performance that particular evening at this stage of his career. Of course no love is loss for what he was able to successfully produce and get out there musically which many still enjoy to this day.

    Al Jarreau is great, as usual. Although I much prefer the Al of the 70s and 80s. The 70s were his best artistic period. Al Jarreau was a great artist and a very generous person. On the other hand, I'm sorry to say this, but I think the woman has absolutely no talent. She is certainly pretty, but singing and being an artist is very different from doing a fashion model demonstration. No deep feeling in his voice, no real charisma. Singing in a Karaoke doesn't mean being able to become a great artist. Being an artist means that you have to love people and not just your reflection in the mirror. Singing and playing on stage means to give a lot of yourself.
    She gives the impression of being there to show herself. But this is typical of our time filled with so called singers without talent, creativity but full of arrogance. The goal is just to show up and flatter ego. The great artists and creators are disappearing one after the other and there is almost no one to take over. Ego excess has killed opportunities to develop talent. It's really sad.
    See on the link below Al at his peak of talent and creativity:

    First time I've seen this so thanks Alita for posting you seemed to enjoy that, it was class.
    Saw him before he passed at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester Uk. Was a bit late missed the first song and while trying to get to my seat with the wife ( we were on the second row at the front ) Al started singing a song about a guy in a white shirt with a beautiful lady trying to find they're seat. Al was smiling as he made the song up and watched me squirm lol.
