Spring is here! Winter has taken its final bow, and with consistently warmer temperatures setting in after a brutally cold season, we're beyond thrilled to enjoy fresh blooms and longer, sunny days (even if it does come with a little rain). To help put us in a cheery mood, we're looking forward to a playlist of tunes with "good vibes" written all over it.
Billboard compiled the ultimate collection of songs to help usher in the new season, and it’s bound to make the perfect soundtrack for those spring cleaning days up ahead, strawberry picking, or bike rides through the park. The iconic music publication’s staff-curated roundup includes 15 of the “Best Songs About Spring Showers, Flowers & Everything in Between,” listed in no particular order. Appropriately, Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong's jazz ballad, "April in Paris," made the cut of quintessential spring staples.
This year, the 1956 classic celebrates its 70th anniversary, and even seven decades after its release, it remains a timeless anthem. The track is dreamy and nostalgic, capturing the feeling of falling in love in a romantic setting while surrounded by the beauty of Paris in springtime.
“I never knew the charm of spring / I never met it face to face / I never knew my heart could sing / I never missed a warm embrace / Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom / Holiday tables under the trees / April in Paris, this is a feeling / That no one can ever reprise,” the legendary musicians express.
Released in October 1956 as part of the album Ella and Louis, the charming duet was originally written by Vernon Duke and Yip Harburg for the Broadway musical Walk a Little Faster. A live version of the iconic six-and-a-half-minute rendition was also recorded in July 1957 at the Newport Jazz Festival and released two years later.
