3:33⅓ - Happy Birthday Astrud Gilberto

Astrud Gilberto, happy birthday you dynamo. You waltzed into a music career (she wasn’t a singer by trade when she sung Girl From Ipanema though she was no stranger to singing due to her musical family), but you delivered. And something maybe about not being “destined” to be a singer from day one gives your voice and your spirit an approachability that is a huge part of your appeal. I can’t wait to listen to jams from your catalog this evening on Jazz88.
