Late-summer heat has this song playing on repeat in my head. Here, the classic jazz standard by George Gershwin performed by a few of the greats. Amazing to hear how each of them interprets it, no?
A very spare, introspective version from Ella Fitzgerald.
Possibly on the other end of the spectrum from the one above by Ella, Big Mama Thornton, who I l-o-v-e, brings something totally different to this classic... Though not the classic arrangement, this might be my favorite.

A very lush recording from Ella with Louis Armstrong, and maybe the version that comes to mind when you think of this song.
The original recording by Billie Holliday.
