Fun Boy Three - Summertime

Terry Hall, Neville Staple and Lynval Golding formed Fun Boy Three in 1981 after they left the Specials. They decided to make happier music than the often gloomy sound of their old band. 'Summertime' was released in the summer of 1982 and was a cover of an aria composed by George Gerschwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The song became a popular jazz standard, and in the version of Fun Boy Three it even became a pop song, which reached number 18 in the UK singles chart. I don't have the video for this and would love this if any one has this they could share. If you do then please contact me.
