For Women’s History Month, I’m selecting some of my favorite songs from some of the most talented and influential women in music. From frontwomen to singer-songwriters to iconic performers, I’m picking one song a day on Mental Jukebox until the end of March.

There are few things in life more beautiful than Ella cracking open the Gershwin songbook and paying homage to some of the finest songs ever written. “Somebody to Watch Over Me” showcased the silkier, softer side to the legendary singer. In its coyness, it’s still a serenade of assurance and conviction. And like many jazz standards, it commands your utter silence to truly enjoy what’s unfolding.

“There's a saying old, says that love is blind. Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find.”
