Scotty,
Don't know about the year, but Summertime (and the livin' is easy), is definetly from the Gershwin musical Porgy and Bess. 1934 sounds about right. It is on the original cast album, as available on Amazon.
Everyone here probably remembers Janis Joplin's version as the most memorable one. I got to hear her sing it with Full Tilt Boogie as her band. Wish I had caught her with Big Brother and the Holding Company.
