In 2016 I beat the HotSpotify 366 challenge, for which I added one special song each day to a Spotify playlist, I had too much to leave it there. As follow-up I created Henk-Jan’s soundtrack to 2017 in Spotify. The final week of February passed and got its musical companion.

Thursday, 23 February: Jess & Gabriel – Can’t Help Falling In Love
For those who though that UB40 penned this song: nope, it was Elvis Presley who featured the song in his 1961 film, Blue Hawaii. Elvis tended to close his live shows with this love song during the late 1960s and 1970s. The British reggae band UB40 had a smash hit with their 1993 version on the Promises and Lies album. A couple of weeks ago, I saw the Promises & Lies: The Story of UB40 documentary. Explosive and a true behind the scenes.Throwback Thursday with a recent cover by the Australian
