  • This version by ...

    This version by Bechet is probably the first time a jazz musician recorded this song as a jazz standard. First time, and masterpiece : it's no longer the optimistic lullaby of Gershwin's opera, it's a real blues. In this sense, Janis Joplin was close to that, even if she really modified the melody. There are other versions which sound more positive but are really great : Miles Davis with Gil Evans, and of course Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.

  • First version of ...

    First version of this song I ever heard. Seriously. The next version I heard was Janis Joplin. Talk about contrast, that one's nearly an entirely different song.
