International Sweethearts of Rhythm

L’International Sweethearts of Rhythm est un big band féminin formé aux États-Unis en 1937 et le premier orchestre féminin à mettre en pratique la déségrégation.
Sam Cooke was born today (January 22) in 1931. He wrote so many great songs. I'd hear them on the radio growing up, and I still love hearing them. I was close to posting 'You Send Me' because that's my favorite love song of his, but had to go with Chain Gang, which is of course the catchiest, poppiest song about prison workers you'll ever hear.
It's 2023, I'm 43, and I'm listening to something Ray Charles recorded in 1957, YEARS before I was even born (hell, the year both my PARENTS were just seven years old each) that has now been uploaded to YouTube for the whole world to hear with just a little typing and a mouse click.
