Let's be honest. Her talent is that she CAN sing such a great classic and NOT sound like its a remake or a cover. No matter who did it before she puts her own unique talent to work. I know great music and she moves me every time. Norah is way under-appreciated.
Definitely. This is much better than Lana Del Ray's version ....which I feel is too slow. But Norah's version is just right tempo wise, and that piano playing is exquisite, and so classy. Norah could easily be a Jazz singer and pianist.
The title and most of the comments seem to give all the credit for this fine recording to Norah Jones. But the piano is played by the great Marian Mc Partland. She deserves equal credit.
Oh no, some comment just revealed .. Nora is not actually the pianist here!? It's arian McPartland.. the great radio show host, whom we revered. So I admire Ms Jones way less for allowing the her publst or record company to alter the picture here to lead us her fans, to think she can really play ...like never before. So sad
I think she sounds very beautiful and makes one comfortable. Because I am not single so don't know why you said she sounds no one else like her could you tell me where is she distinctive voice?
I just recently caught on to her. Definitely the more I hear the more I like. Then consider her father was one of the greatest musicians ever. A real original.
I sing Summertime almost daily, several times a day. This interpretation has left me speechless, I simply love it, WOW, I sing it as a lullaby, no excitement, hey, what kid, is gonna sleep to this? When I sing JAZZY stuff to my grandson, WE DANCE!!!!
Dear Ms Jones: Mr. Gershwin has to be really proud of your version. No doubt about it. What a gift! This is a treasure, a jewel hidden for me… until now. I have opened my gift today! You triggered me. You are my friend now or I hope so if you permit me that. You are playing the promise to get our world something better. No barriers for good feelings… inner feelings on the depth of our hearts. That is been a prayer for everyone being a better human being. Congratulations for your lesson of love trough music. I know that you know that God blessed Mr. Gershwin before of your touching performance. May God bless you… or maybe you are blessed already. Thank you so much.
It's true. I'm 16 and when I heard her beautiful voice I could appreciate even more this kind of music that I already love. Thank you Norah, for your performances!
Norah will still be talked about in 50 years time. Her voice will last until the sun implodes in 60-70 million years. When the human race is long gone the dominant life form on earth is...something else. They will find her music, and they will hear her voice, and it will be SHE who they are entranced by. Not anyone else in the history of music will it be other than she. There is a timbre to her voice, something within it that sets her apart from anyone else.
Great version! Amazing, that there are still today young musicians that know songs like this - and are good enough to make GOOD versions. Brings this music to the young fans. Well done, Norah!
I cannot say I know a great deal about music, but I remember the very first time I saw this lady walk onto a music video I was looking at - that just came on - I saw, heard and remarked in my own head, "Wow! That little girl has such a command of what she is doing; I've not ever seen anything like it!" I am still in 2013, amazed at how gracious and how humble she seems to be with her incredible knowledge and abilities in music. Sad we didn't have the video.
Love this. No one has a voice quite like Norah Jones. No one can deny that, even the Joplin purists who will say the original is best. Yes, it is for some reasons, yet lets be honest few today or in bygone years has a voice as beautiful as this woman.
THIS is why i appreciate Utube & all U uploaders...i never heard of her before, but U can bet Ur paycheck i'll own a cd by week's end! this is PERFECT music to wind down with at the end of a day.
Sem desfazer de outras interpretações famosas desta música, parece ter sido feita para Norah Jones. É incrível como ela consegue 'fazer dela' o que canta. Formidável: uma artista completa; para mim, a melhor da atualidade. Vida longa, Norah!
My god the amount of renditions for this piece is astounding. It leaves no doubt in my mind that the father of American pop music is and will always be Mr. George Gershwin RIP :)
The excellent accompaniment on piano, is an extraordinary English jazz pianist and composer Ms. Margaret Marian Turner (McPartland), (20 March 1918 - 20 August 2013), R.I.P.
Great Ms. Jones and McPartland… You've performed that touching the heart, the heaven, the brain and all the feelings. Congratulations. Summertime is full of artistic democracy so you feel that music on your way. Even more: You spread the musical citizenship with that: Music is full of opposite equality feelings for everyone. God bless Mr. Gershwin endessly.
My late wife loved listening to you at night. It helped take the pain away for awhile, thank you for all you do.
Hope it helps with your pain Jim.
😪💙
All prayers and condolences for your loss sir,jw.org
Jim
Please look at jw.org just like Sue rose says
A big hug for you Jim. Hope things are going better for you and your family

She DEFINETLY makes it her own!
Definitely. This is much better than Lana Del Ray's version ....which I feel is too slow. But Norah's version is just right tempo wise, and that piano playing is exquisite, and so classy. Norah could easily be a Jazz singer and pianist.
You don’t know how appreciative we are.
I hear Janis Joplin as well!! So many beautiful people have given us this beautiful song.
The fact that NORAH makes everything she plays and sings her own is what makes her so great..
The title and most of the comments seem to give all the credit for this fine recording to Norah Jones. But the piano is played by the great Marian Mc Partland. She deserves equal credit.
Remember Gershwin

I hear 2 pianos.
@@jhersk Yeah, I play piano, and I just don't see any way humanly possible to play all that with just two hands and one take.
Yea they made it look like Norah was playing.
I have an Old Soul. Her music fills my soul tremendously. Anyone else feel this way? Awesome!
Denise - you call it old soul but perhaps its a soul never getting old :) Awesome it is I agree. Beautiful - time stands still listening to this
@ will wahl
Oh woah!
Never thought about it that way!
🤯
That's some quality right there!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I love about Norah, aside from her physical beauty, is her distinctive voice. She sounds like no one else and nobody sounds like her.
So true
I think she sounds very beautiful and makes one comfortable. Because I am not single so don't know why you said she sounds no one else like her could you tell me where is she distinctive voice?
comme pour chaque voix ! qui est unique !
@@kinedwin5290 Distinctive because it is intantly recognizable as "her" voice with the first notes your hear, distinctively Norah.
She sounds a little like Billie Holliday
Marian wil always remain a classic, a great jazz pianist, I could listen to Nora Jones all day long and often do while I’m throwing pottery!
What a good voice ! What a good piano version !!! Thanks !!!
excellent well done young lady ....talent plus what a gift Thank-you for sharing your beauty with all willing to listen,,

Norah voice is so smooth and great..
Wow. now this damn good. Best rendition I've ever heard. Talented young woman indeed. Love it Norah
Beautiful, effortless and always special admiration for those who can sing and play at the same time.
I just recently caught on to her. Definitely the more I hear the more I like. Then consider her father was one of the greatest musicians ever. A real original.

I've been searching for this version for ever... awesome
Soooo in love with Norah's voice it makes my heart melt

There’s so much love and peace just listening to u sing ,in my heart
We listened to Marian's radio show for years - "Piano Jazz" I think. A treasure.
Norah is truly amazing. McPartland goes back halfway to forever in the jazz world. This version also echoes Doc Watson's bluegrass version.
Norah Jones is the queen of all the classic songs perform. Correct notes, correct way... Thanks God he gave you us Norah❤️
Love this song...a classic...Norahs' take on it is unique, just like Norah, a classy lady with so such talent...🌹🌹🌹
An absolutely superb presentation of the famous song by Norah Jones.
Wow! Norah has a country side AND a jazz side. AWESOME cover.
Great version! Amazing, that there are still today young musicians that know songs like this - and are good enough to make GOOD versions. Brings this music to the young fans. Well done, Norah!
Such a wonderful song and your rendition of it is amazing. Thank you..Karen Rae
What a Marvellous Norah Jones'Performance of this always so beautiful Song Summertime!!! Thanks also for this beautiful Video westdens!
Great voice, great talent, in fact out of the ordinary talent....love her rendition of Summertime, in fact one of the best I've heard.
I love her and her voice. Great cover :)
Encantadora versión!!! Muchas gracias.
Her phrasing is all her own..and makes every song she sings..her own as well….and I can say the same for her piano…
Excelente solo. Venido de una virtuosa, no podía ser menos. Summertime, es para oídos privilegiados...!
Fantsstic, great music and what a sound that is.
Fabulous. Great talent and easy listening. Lounge music to perfection
wonderful, it has a light that transcends the voice, shivers
SUPERB....! Thank you for this super share.
Ella is in heaven dancing to this version.
I've heard some good, some not so good...and some great versions of this classic. This is one of those great ones.
Fabulous
Very good Dick!
How about the Walker Brothers version... any takers?
pour vous ! for jou !!
" LATE MS> JANIS JOPLIN" SLAYS AS ONLY "LATE SAMMY DAVIS JR>DID

Toda LINDA! Canta demais, e ainda toca um piano irretocavel! Nota 1.000!
MADE My NIGHT THANK YOU SO MUCH 💕
Norah, o voce si o muzică din altă lume! Muzica ei este fabuloasă

Absolutely lovely. So easy swInging, so groovy, like walking on the clouds...

You are so right! I so appreciate TH-cam and all the uploaders! Great music 🎶
Listen to her sing “come away with me”.

whenthereapercomes very true......when a blues singer like Miss Norah comes along, just like fine wine, it gets better & better, with time.....🍷💫🕊
About Gershwin yes you are definitely right
The excellent accompaniment on piano, is an extraordinary English jazz pianist and composer Ms. Margaret Marian Turner (McPartland), (20 March 1918 - 20 August 2013), R.I.P.
Had to be someone special - I was blown away by these chords!
1ElCondor Summertime Anna moffo
These are pretty much the chords as described by Gershwin orchestrally and printed in the 'real book'@@auursigurkarlsdottir6114
@@FrancisMaxino Gershwin was a genius before his time--and left us much too soon.
The images got me thinking Norah was playing and I was "WHAT". Some of those intermediate chords were just... damn.
I love Norah Jones and her voice I would love to hear more new music from her.
This is a perfect jazz rendition of the best modern aria ever. Sooooo cool.
wow!! it is beautiful and perfect!!
Absolutely beautiful
Simplesmente maravilhosas.!!!!!!
Fantastic song and its execution!!
Елена Корабко G summartine ella Fitzgerald luis amstrom
Thanks again.
What a marvelous song!!!I love Norah Jones!!!
Amei! Voz divina......
I expected to hear good singing (It is!) but the piano interpretation is Soooo enjoyable!!! Great job! Best piano of Summertime that I've heard!
absolutely beautiful
Dla mnie jest to najpiekniejszy cover :)
What a nice jazzy version of this tune. Love Norah always!!!
We are routinely introduced to this beautiful version here. We were very comfortable with that. Great. 4:05
Heard this song in a coffee shop. Really love her music and voice.
Great Ms. Jones and McPartland… You've performed that touching the heart, the heaven, the brain and all the feelings. Congratulations. Summertime is full of artistic democracy so you feel that music on your way. Even more: You spread the musical citizenship with that: Music is full of opposite equality feelings for everyone. God bless Mr. Gershwin endessly.
'Touching the heart the heaven'
Me too
Drinking whiskey and listening to Norah Jones on a weeknight might be the appitomy of human advancement.
She is drop dead gorgeous. That voice...always puts me in a love making mood. So tender, so sweet
Beautiful sound ,beautiful soul ,love your music !
I love her soft voice! 💕
Magnifique!!
