It occurred to me that there must be lots of "folky" versions of this song (the programme claimed that it was the most covered popular song in history) Anyway, I recall the wonderful Carolyn Hester doing a spectacular vocal gymnastic version of it in an English folk music club some years ago. Here's Carolyn's 50yrs old recorded version. Summertime Carolyn Hester |
