Porgy and Bess (1959) Stereo - Summertime - Bess, You Is My Woman Now - I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'
Here are four songs from the 1959 film of George Gershwin's opera, produced by Samuel Goldwyn and directed by Otto Preminger. I've replaced the audio with tracks from the soundtrack CD. "Summertime" Loulie Jean Norman sings for Diahann Carroll "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'" Robert McFerrin sings for Sidney Poitier "Bess, You Is My Woman Now" Adele Addison sings for Dorothy Dandridge "Oh, I Can't Sit Down" Pearl Bailey sings herself In a Life magazine article, singer Robert McFerrin detailed the working process he and Poitier went through to create their role. McFerrin stated, "We had to get to know Porgy as a man. It could not be Poitier the actor or McFerrin the singer. It had to be Porgy, a blend of both." First Poitier read the lines, then acted them for McFerrin. Poitier then listened to recordings of McFerrin singing the songs and sang to the recordings while studying his appearance in a mirror. Although she was a well-known singer, Dorothy Dandridge's singing voice was dubbed because her soprano voice did not match McFerrin's baritone, in the opinion of the filmmakers. Although Goldwyn originally wanted all of the off-screen singers to be black, Diahann Carroll's voice was thought not to be right for the film; after scouts failed to find an available African-American whose voice was judged to be satisfactory, Loulie Jean Norman, a French-English white singer, was selected to perform "Summertime."

Miles Davis "Summertime" (1958)
"Summertime" is a track from the album "Porgy and Bess" by jazz trumpet musician Miles Davis, released in 1958 on Columbia Records. The album features arrangements by Davis and collaborator Gil Evans from George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess. The album was recorded in four sessions on July 22, July 29, August 4 and August 18 in 1958 at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City. It is the second collaboration between Davis and Evans and has garnered much critical acclaim since its release, being acknowledged by music critics as the best of their collaborations. For many jazz critics, Porgy and Bess is regarded as historic. In 1958, Davis was one of many jazz musicians growing dissatisfied with bebop, seeing its increasingly complex chord changes as hindering creativity. Five years earlier, in 1953, pianist George Russell published his Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization, which offered an alternative to the practice of improvisation based on chords. Abandoning the traditional major and minor key relationships of Western music, Russell developed a new formulation using scales or a series of scales for improvisations. Russell's approach to improvisation came to be known as modal in jazz. Davis saw Russell's methods of composition as a means of getting away from the dense chord-laden compositions of his time, which Davis had labeled "thick". Modal composition, with its reliance on scales and modes, represented, as Davis put it, "A return to melody". In a 1958 ...
Porgy and Bess preview from San Francisco Opera
George Gershwin miraculously melded classical music, popular song, jazz, blues and spirituals in this quintessentially American masterpiece that tells the poignant story of a crippled beggar, the headstrong woman he loves, and the community that sustains them both. General Director David Gockley, whose association with Porgy and Bess has restored it to a mainstay of the operatic repertoire, presents director Francesca Zambello's critically acclaimed production. Alan Rich of LA Weekly calls her staging "by some distance, the finest and most enjoyable of the couple of dozen productions I have attended of Porgy and Bess." "Opening Porgy and Bess in 1935 was an exceptionally brave move for George Gershwin. He insisted on casting African American artists in all the roles despite the prevailing segregationist and racist views of the era. The complex issues of race and class were brought to the very center of Broadway, the great white way, with extraordinary, unforgettable music and an explosive love story set against the backdrop of Charlestons Catfish Row." --Stanley E. Williams, Co-founder and Artistic Director of Lorraine Hansberry Theatre
