George Gershwinâs idea to write Porgy and Bess can be traced to 1926 when he first read the novel Porgy by DuBose Heyward, which was set on the fictitious Catfish Row in the Deep South. After signing a deal with the author, Gershwin began composing in 1934 and Heyward wrote the words to âSummertimeâ. The song appears more than once in the opera. Its first appearance is as a lullaby, sung by Clara, at the beginning of Act I and later it is sung by Bess.
Judging from the comments here, many of you have not seen porgy & bess. Perhaps you should see it before making erroneous comments. To clarify matters, *summertime* is being sung by a black woman to her baby (and not a white man's own) towards dusk at the end of an extremely hot day. The original gershwin opera has the woman working on a plantation, but there is never any suggestion that she is a slave.
