Today I listen to American
Today I listen to American singer-songwriter Janis Joplin perform Summertime live from Stockholm on 07/04/69.
Janis does a great cover, making it her own. This is what I want from a cover, I don't like when bands just imitate the original. Originally written as a lullaby Joplin does a psychedelic blues version of Summertime.

Original video: Janis Joplin "Summertime" (Live -1969)
Janis Lyn Joplin[1] (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American singer and songwriter. One of the most successful and widely known rock performers of her era, she was noted for her powerful mezzo-soprano vocals and "electric" stage presence.
In 1967, Joplin rose to prominence following an appearance at Monterey Pop Festival, where she was the lead singer of the then little-known San Francisco psychedelic rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company. After releasing two albums with the band, she left Big Brother to continue as a solo artist with her own backing groups, first the Kozmic Blues Band and then the Full Tilt Boogie Band.
Summetime was originally a jazz standard co-composed by George and Ira Gershwin for the opera “Porgy and Bess”. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward.
Lyrics
Summertime, time, time
Child, the living's easy
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord
Cotton's high, Lord so high
Your daddy's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby
She's a-looking good now
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
No, no, no, no, don't you cry, don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings, child
And take, take to the sky
Lord, the sky
Until that morning
Honey, nothing's going to harm you now
No, no, no no, no no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no no, no no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't you cry
