Listen to some real music, written by one of the greatest pairs of songwriters who ever lived, and sung by Ella Fitzgerald, whose like we will never hear again.

Thanks for taking me down memory lane for a bit.

One my favorite albums I have is Ella and Louis which is Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. It’s just so relaxing to listen to.

I’ve been listening to a fair bit of Nina Simone courtesy Pandora and it’s glorious.

Nina, Ella, Billie...epic music by epic women.

A modern performer who provokes some of the same chills: Madeleine Peyroux.
