In Porgy and Bess does Clara sing Summertime or Bess? I always thought Clara did but i just watched a clip and Bess was singing it.

it's Clara. The song was actually originally called Clara's Lullaby.

Going to a musical late in its run is like going to a prostitute late in her shift.

I think Bess sings it later in the opera though, too. Clara sings it to open the show and after other things happen (left vague not to spoil the show), Bess sings a reprise.

Don't be too sure I'm as crooked as I'm supposed to be.
