from Oannes *

Από την ηχογράφηση [αποσπασμάτων] του Porgy & Bess από τον Ray Charles και τη Βρετανίδα τζαζ τραγουδίστρια Cleo Laine – μια από τις προσωπικές μου αδυναμίες. Το άλμπουμ κυκλοφόρησε το 1976.

✽

From the 1976 recording of [selections from] Porgy & Bess by Ray Charles and the British jazz singer Cleo Laine – one of my personal favorites. Album released in 1976.

❝ Summertime, and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich and your ma is good-lookin’
So hush little baby, don’t you cry
One of these mornings, you’re goin’ to rise up singin’
And you’ll spread your wings and you’ll take the sky
But ’til that mornin’, there’s a-nothin’ can harm you
With daddy and mommy standin’ by
One of these mornings, you’re goin’ to rise up singin’
And you’ll spread your wings and you’ll take the sky
But ’til that mornin’, there’s a-nothin’ can harm you
With daddy and mommy standin’ by ❞

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
