Have a personal Stan Getz story to tell, but won't force anyone to listen.

C'mon man, Astrud Gilberto??

Who are some of these RIP people? Beyond ridiculous.

Iconic 60s pop song but I never knew the singer's name.
Thanks

My understanding is that she didn't speak English and learned the lyrics to that song phonetically.

I know, hard to believe she died, isn't it?

83 years old and died in a very exotic locale........Philly.

I didn’t even know she was sick.

People may want to mock this but this song won the Grammy in 1965 for Record of the Year. It beat out Petula Clark, Barbara Streisand, Louis Armstrong and The Beatles.

Not saying she might not have been talented but is her passing really notable in this environment?

I really don't understand what this has to do with dealing with the smoke from the wildfires in Quebec. Just stay indoors or wear a mask!

But don’t forget the shady Dylan Commission did investigate a coverup re: a mystery second voter to win her the Grammy. I don’t think her win is legit. Babs (Barbra, not Barbara) deserved it more.

could be Philly made her sick

Yes, because this means she has no eligibility left.

On one hand, you are absolutely correct. On the other hand, it's the off season, there isn't much to talk about and she must have meant something to some people. And fourth? Who is yet another person who hasn't been in my kitchen?

If truth be told, RU football is circling the drain. Couple more years of Schiano and the program may be DOA as well.

One of my all-time favorite songs and the rest of that album is pretty damn good, too.

You're quite likely the most miserable person I've ever encountered on a message board. What makes you piss on even OT threads with this crap?
