Porgy and Bess---- Summertime??

[StevieM]

Anyone got 'Summertime' from Porgy and Bess? I've been trying to find the original soundtrack for ages. Found loads of covers, but not that one. How about the whole film soundtrack?? Maybe I'm pushing my luck a bit there

[guitarron]

funny i used to cover this one -thinking of recording it

couldn't find an original soundtrack from the 1959 movie-only later productions

[StevieM]

Yeh, not sure if one even exists. Can you recommend a cover that's as close as poss?

[guitarron]

rent the movie and rip it (i'm not sure if i ever seen or heard the original)

I just did a search "Porgy and Bess"...and found a ton of stuff.

No offense but WTF?

Cheers Sprocket, Must have missed this. It's got a version by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong that's probably about the nearest I'll get. Wanted one with the twin vocals, got a vague idea what I want to do with it.
Watch this space-----------well, not THIS space, obviously, it'll be a different space, but, errrrr, you know what I mean

Oh yeh, forgot to say. How do I download from that site?. Probably easy, but I'm feeling a bit dim tonight!!

You go through the stereo "line in" on your MicroBR with 1/8" to 1/8" stereo cable to your computer(where your speakers are hooked up) and then just plug your computer speakers into the MBR as a set of monitors while you record the song you wanna use.

GuitarRon & SteveM, seriously? A blues song? I just heard the Gershwin, thinking "soundtrack"...maybe I will give the other versions a listen...which is the best version?

[StevieM]

Ok, I can manage 'line in/out'
Depends on the style you want. Try Janis Joplin for booze and cigs bluesy, I should think Miles Davis----Jazzy? Robbie Williams?? Haven't heard it yet! There's loads of versions.
