This review is from: Gershwin: Porgy & Bess (Highlights) (Audio CD)

Leontyne Price is the ONLY singer who can sing George Gershwin's Summmertime...in my opinion. I have this album and I just needed this CD and it sure fits the bill....All of the singers on this CD are fantastic....it is a very good recording(Highlights only) of Porgy and Bess....my favorite, after having listened to many others. William Warfield's voice is out of this world....
