Astrud Gilberto was a housewife in 1964 when saxophonist Stan Getz decided he wanted his hit “Girl From Ipanema” to be sung in English — something her husband, Joao, who sang the original track, couldn’t do. Sold 2 million copies. Born today in 1940. 💕

Some records stop being songs and turn into house rules. I grew up with a mom who kept this jam on repeat. What keeps pulling peeps out seats since ‘79 is the promise inside it. That folks decide the road ahead belongs to them. That kind of momentum earns airtime.
