A primeira gravação comercial do dueto “I Loves You, Porgy” foi feita em 1942, quando Anne Brown e Todd Duncan registraram a música no volume 2 do álbum *Selections from George Gershwin's Folk Opera Porgy and Bess*.
O trecho do dueto que aparece no palco da obra — “I wants to stay here” – aparece no ato 2, cena 3, Catfish Row, onde Bess pede proteção ao seu amado Porgy.
Em 1959, Nina Simone trouxe a música ao público contemporâneo ao adaptá‑la para o seu álbum de estreia *Little Girl Blue*, tornando-a um dos temas mais reconhecidos do repertório pop brasileiro.
A versão de Nina Simone foi lançada pouco tempo depois do sucesso do disco, em um cenário onde artistas de jazz buscavam ampliar o alcance da música popular afro‑americana no Brasil.
O dueto original, composto por George e Ira Gershwin em 1935, já fazia parte da estreia da ópera em 1935, tanto no palco de estreia da obra quanto no palco de Broadway, consolidando o tema como parte central da narrativa de *Porgy and Bess*.
