It’s April, and what better time to listen to that classic song of lost love, I’ll Remember April. Though the song has been sung by any number of great singers, including June Christy, Judy Garland, and Frank Sinatra, I particularly like the version by the smoky-voiced Julie London from 1956.

I’ve also been enjoying a new, jazzy version, from an album by Elli Fordyce and Jim Malloy.
I recently had a chance to talk with Elli Fordyce about her musical journey. During our chat, you will hear songs from her albums Something STILL Cool and Songs Spun of Gold. [audio:http://www.voanews.com/MediaAssets2/english/2013_04/Jazz_Beat_Elli_Fordyce_Diaa_Bekheet_April2013.mp3]
