Although Jerry Butler was born in Mississippi, he moved with his family to Chicago in 1941, and grew up in the  Cabrini Green housing projects. It was in church where he met Curtis Mayfield. Together, in 1958, they joined with three other singers to form "Jerry Butler and the Impressions." After leaving the group a couple of years later, Jerry Butler went solo and received the moniker "The Iceman" from a Philadelphia DJ, to highlight his cool, baritone voice. The name stuck.

Something special happened making the new episode of Bookmarked.  As always, we change the background in every episode. Since Olivia and Viktoria mention St. Patrick's Day, we recorded 2 minutes of a live stream outside of Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland.  And we noticed a happy couple. The footage was captured at 9am Central time, which would have been 3 pm in Dublin, After having their picture taken outside of Temple Bar, the moved to the sidewalk to share their happy news with family and friends. Their happiness is palpable. Watch the entire episode below, and see the footage as an extra at the end of the episode. It has all the feels. In the episode, Olivia and Viktoria talk about Natasha Preston, with playful banter about their differing opinions. This may be the best episode of Bookmarked yet. So, if you know anyone who got engaged in Ireland on March 13, tell them that they've been Bookmarked!
