♫ Me & Bobby McGee ♫
A few nights ago I played a song, Summertime, and the version I played was by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong — two of my favourites. A couple of readers noted that Janis Joplin had also covered the song, and they liked her version. I listened, but still prefer the Ella/Louis one.
