Charlie "Bird" Parker - I Can't Get Started

the first time I heard this song, I was probably 16 years old, and it burned into my song memory for life. Bunny Berrigan played it, and his version is always the best to me, but this is a great version. Ella sang it too!

Anita O'Day - I Can't Get Started With You

Listen to this velvet voice, she is just wonderful.....

Bunny Berigan -I Can't Get Started With You-1937

Listen to this oldie, it's horn, its rhythm,
its melody ....
