    Summertime
    And the livin' is easy
    Fish are jumpin'
    And the cotton, the cotton is high
    Oh, your daddy's rich
    And your ma, she's good lookin'
    So hush, little baby
    Don't you cry
    One of these mornings
    You're gonna rise up singing
    You're gonna spread your wings
    And take, and take to the sky
    Until that morning
    Ain't nothing can harm you
    With daddy and ma standing by
    Standing by
    Standing by, little baby
    Standing by

      Seriously, I was only responding to your use of inverted commas. I thought that that was what you actually meant - singers who are in the profession, but can hardly be called "singers" when compared to Ms Battle.
      My apologies if it sounds confusing.
