Astrud Gilberto


 Brazilian Music is the order of the day and it's lovely !
The soothing voice of "Miss Ipanema" giving some songs the bossa nova beat.! a great L/P and I wish I had bought it when it first came out !!

Astrud Gilberto (Brazilian Portuguese); born Astrud Evangelina Weinert, March 29, 1940) is a Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer. She became popular in the 1960s after her performance of the song "The Girl from Ipanema".
She sang on two tracks on the influential 1963 album Getz/Gilberto featuring João Gilberto, Stan Getz, and Antônio Carlos Jobim, despite having never sung professionally before this recording. The 1964 single version of "The Girl from Ipanema", taken from the 1963 album, omitted the Portuguese lyrics sung by João Gilberto, and established Astrud Gilberto as a Bossa Nova singer. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc.
