Louis Daniel Armstrong(August 4, 1901 – July
6, 1971), nicknamed "Satchmo", "Satch", and "Pops",
was an American trumpeter and vocalist. He was
among the most influential figures in jazz. His
career spanned five decades and several eras in the history of jazz. He
received numerous accolades including the Grammy Award for Best Male Vocal Performance for Hello, Dolly! in 1965, as well as a posthumous win for the Grammy
Lifetime Achievement Award in 1972, and
the induction into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2017
Ella Jane Fitzgerald(April 25, 1917 – June
15, 1996) was an American jazz singer,
sometimes referred to as the "First Lady of Song", "Queen of
Jazz", and "Lady Ella". She was noted for her purity of tone,
impeccable diction, phrasing,
timing, intonation,
and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
Porgy and Bess is a studio album by jazz
vocalist and trumpeter Louis Armstrong and singer Ella Fitzgerald,
released on Verve Records in 1959. The third and final of the pair's albums for the label, it
is a suite of selections from the George Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess. Orchestral arrangements are by Russell
Garcia, who had previously arranged the 1956 jazz
vocal recording The Complete
Porgy and Bess.
Ella:
Summertime when the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin and the cotton is high
You're daddy's rich and your ma is good
lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
Louis:
One of thses mornings you gonna rise up
singing
Oh you spead your wings and you take to the skies
But till that morning, ain't nothin' can harm
you
Yea with Daddy and Mommy standin' by
Ella:
Summertime when the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin and the cotton is high.
You're daddy's rich and your ma is good
lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry.
