Tenderly Summertime

Ein schöner, sentimentaler und ganz feinfühlieger Trickfilm “The Tender Game” von John Hubley und Faith Elliott. Ella Fitzgerald singt dabei "Tenderly", begleitet von the Oscar Peterson Trio, 1958

Tenderly

The evening breeze
Caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees
Embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea
And mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts
Met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide
And closed me inside
You took my lips,
You took my love so tenderly

Unvergleichbar... Ella Fitzgerald und Louis Armstrong: Gershwin's "Summertime":

Summertime

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
