Alec Wilder was inspired to write his 1942 song, “I’ll Be Around,” while riding in the back of a taxi cab in Baltimore, Maryland. Though it was first recorded that same year by Cab Calloway & his Orchestra, black vocal group The Mills Brothers were the 1st to make the song a hit.

I loved performing with #CassandraLewis @deeslounge615 the other week. Looking forward to making more music with this talented group. Here’s our take on my original song, “When You Said You Loved Me.”
