➡️ Ella Fitzgerald ft The Ink Spots - I'm Making Believe (It's You) 1944
The version recorded by the Ink Spots and Ella Fitzgerald topped The Billboard's National Best Selling Retail Records chart for two weeks in 1944. Their version had sold over one million copies by the time of Fitzgerald's death in 1996.

Sadly, I haven't had the pleasure of seeing this classic machine do its magic, but I love the design and the mark it left not only on music but also on interior design.
Omar Sosa’s absorption in Africa extends to matters spiritual – he is, for example, a practitioner of the Afro-Cuban religion known as Santería which has a pantheon of saints known as orishas.
Swedish band Goat, which I absolutely love. The alternative and experimental fusion music group originates—according to its own publicity—from Korpilombolo, Norrbotten County. The band started playing music when they were children, as part of a local community tradition, and there have been many incarnations of Goat who have recorded over the last "30 or 40 years". Also no one actually knows their identity! #jukebox https://youtu.be/pFRO5nc70to?si=vz2eWlXnwU8Ci4dX
More #music this week. Bert Jansch's work influenced many artists, especially Jimmy Page, Mike Oldfield, Paul Simon, Pete Hawkes, Nick Drake, Donovan, and Neil Young. He received two Lifetime Achievement Awards at the BBC Folk Awards: one, in 2001, for his solo achievements and the other, in 2007, as a member of Pentangle. He sadly passed away in 2011. #Saturday#Jukebox https://youtu.be/RqjUWJtH88c?si=5BGkOQxZmymGYRfR
