Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

I was a bit hesitant to listen to this at first... so many covers of this have destroyed this song.

Your version? Frickin killer! What a great voice! Very smooth. Love the feel of this immensely!

This is a fine listen, Snowpig!  Your vox works really well on the song.  Liked your lead and guitar work behind the vox on the last pass.  Well done!  DD

Thanks for listening!

Good job of playing and singing with that 'swing' feeling. Very tasteful lead guitar too.

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.

Very enjoyable.  Great vocal phrasing.

I've never heard Ella sing Summertime like this.  You've made this jazz standard your own.  It's definitely a fit for Gurlfest as it was sung by Clara and Bess in "Porgy and Bess".  I love the style you bring to this piece.  This was my favorite audition song for theatre.  You've given me a new perspective on a song I know very well.
