I can remember as a little girl, my parents putting this record on the hifi and dancing in the living room… such a fantastic way to grow up. #Brasil66forever
My mom would play Sergio Mendes when we were living in Chicago during the 70s. I always loved this album and she introduced me to the entire Mendes discography. I especially loved the female vocalists - their phrasings and stylistic approach to the songs. Sergio Mendes is the genius of minimalism!
I was 13 and would get these albums for my birthday along with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass! I am 70 now and love this music as ever if not more. So glad I grew up when did!❤
I, too, am close to 70, and also got SM/B66 albums plus Herb Alpert albums early on... great minds think alike! Fantastic music sadly not available from any artist today...
Sou brasileiro e confesso que não conhecia Sergio Mendes. A maioria das musicas dele conhecia através de outros artistas. Até então achava que o Jazz Brasileiro (Bossa Nova) tinha se popularidade nos EUA com Tom Jobim mas foi Sergio Mendes que realmente abriu as portas da boa musica brasileira para o mundo. Uma pena que a musica ocidental esta se deteriorando (por aqui também), virando barulheira e letras chulas e pegajosas.
I got into this music when I was listening to the radio station in Chicago, WSDM. The station with the GIRLS. They played so many good vibes. And Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66 came on. I wanted to visit Brazil then!! But more importantly, I knew this music sound was differently sweet! Since then I'm still a huge fan.
AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN I WAS WORKING AT A TIRE SHOP AND THE LOCAL RADIO STATION,K R I O , PLAYED THEIR MUSIC AND LOVING THE BEAT OF THEIR SOUND, IT WAS THEN THAT I FELL FOR THE GREAT MUSIC SERGIO MENDES AND BRASIL 66 PLAYED , I NAMED MY SON SERGIO, AND NOW HE TOO IS A DEVOUT LISTENER OF THE GROUP !!!!
I was 24 when I purchased this album. I have it still and play it often. Such genius in its arrangements with those beautiful voices. SO much better than most of what is out there today. The lyrics are so unique and memorable. I'll be 80 next year, and I will play this as long as I'm here to do so.
He may be gone, but his music will live on. These songs were the backdrop to the youth and young adulthood of many of us. So glad to have shared this earth with such a talent.
Today is July 21st, 2023. 1st time I heard about this group. I’m 62. I’m still discovering new music. New in the sense that I am just finding out about it.
I was in High School when my folks moved us to Puerto Rico for a short while. It was the mid 70’s - it was heaven. This album came with us down there.. it was one of the soundtracks for me of that amazing time.
The whole album brings back so many memories of my mom. It bring to life my mom and my sister who have both passed. Listening to this album is as if they are still here. I love and miss them. Maybe, if I earn my wings one day I will be in the light they live in.
When ever hear their songs ,it's when I met my girlfriend and wife Jan, I was 18 and she was 17, in chicago what wonderful memories, we will be married 50 years in April 2023.
I want to thank Sergio Mendes, his bands and his and his family for all the years of beautiful music that I have enjoyed since I was a teenager. I am 71 and have loved this music since Sergio brought it to my senses. I am forever grateful. My personal favorite anything by Brazil 66. Rest In Peace Sergio. You will be missed but never forgotten. My love and sympathy to his friends and family. Joanne
He has now just passed away in Los Angeles! Love all of his brilliant music! All of these songs have been my favorites! May God bless you forever as your songs bring heavenly joy to us all down on earth!
I just heard of his passing on the news last night and I had to look up his songs that I hadn't heard in a long time. My favorite is Mas Que Nada, don't know the words but wow, the memories it brings up. I was just a kid and my dad loved this song. It reminds me of him, he was a great guy, been gone a long time now and I'm 66.
@@Camaroguy69 We grew up with this music, too. Very upbeat and positive mostly. Huge loss. I have long Covid, too. It's the gift that keeps on giving. 😢
@@TheGuinever I'm saying prayers for you!!! "The Physics girl" on youtube has this too! There are some very good doctors on youtube that talk about the latest info! Check with a local university doctor as well as your doctors! The more, the merrier! God bless you!
I remember this album from when I was just 6 years old. My father had it and played it and I loved everyone of their songs throughout my life and listened to their songs every now and then. Their smooth silky beautiful voices are so exquisite to listen to! I still remember the lyrics to every one of their songs. I'm 62 years old now and forever a Sergio Mendez & Brasil 66 fan for life!
RIP Sergio! Thank you for all the music you gave us, we were so lucky to have so much variety back then, (lucky us)! You gave inner joy & made us better for your many gifts.

This was a style of music I would have never listened to or picked up on my own. But in the 1960s I was in the Navy and the intercom on the ship I was serving on was always blasting with Sergio Mendes. I didn't like it at first, being a hard rocker, but I began to listen and realized how wonderfully things were put together and how smooth it was, and became a big fan!
As many of the viewers I too was captured by Brazil '66 years ago. I find them timeless. Beckons us to a calmer time and space to breathe again. Gracias!
SERGIO MENDEZ 1966: THIS IS THE MOST LOVELIEST MUSIC: MELLOW, RELAXING, ROMANTIC, SUAVE, LOVELY, GENTLE, SULTRY, SEXY. I HAVE NO MERE WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW LOVELY THIS MUSIC SOUNDS. THIS IS A CASCADE OF BEAUTIFUL NOTES + TUNES THAT TOUCHES THE HEARTSTRINGS!!! TQ FOR A MOST LOVELY RENDITION!!! I AM IN BOSSA NOVA HEAVEN REMINISCEING LOVELY MEMORIES. A TIMELESS MASTERPIECE!!! SERGIO MENDEZ A BRAZILIAN LEGEND!!!
I was in grade 3 when I learned to love your kind of music w/my mom. I still listen to it upto this day. Thank you very much for sharing your talent. God bless
Every Friday night my parents would either have a party, a poker game, or they would go dancing. I remember them playing this album. I have tickets to see Sergio Mendes at the Jazz Alley on 29 January 2022…I can’t wait! It will be my first time ever seeing him live.
Maestro, Ud si.que compuso verdaderas obras de arte que seran inmortales...Gracias por todos sus regalos que alegraron mi vida de adolescente y que siguen alegrandome en la tercera edad..Cuantos recuerdos !!....Un abrazo hasta el cielo..RIP!! ...
It certainly is timeless! The good old days of the 60's and 70's. Life was simple and carefree. We definitely had more fun then. Brilliant musicians. May they live on in our hearts forever. Gracias.
I can just get out in my summer dress riding my Bicycle. People waving & saying "Hello." Kids doing Breakdancing or playing Basketball. Haayyy.... the times 💖💕 I'm sorry. It's the 2020's 🥵😵 & what I wouldn't give to get back to those times 🌤🚵♀️🏝
I grew up listening to this in the 60s. It was a wonderful soundtrack for life. Today, music has been weaponized, to create strife, tension, and anxiety. Turn on your car radio and flip through the dial, if you can stand it.
Why why why-tom jones? Great point!its like we had music for the best of times and today's pablum seems almost organized in its chaotic vibe.Soundtrack for end times?
These arrangements and their performance are an expression of absolute genius: genuine art, impeccable taste, total respect, and infinite care. I will always love them.
Good old songs, I used to hear so long ago, that are still very good to hear. The girl's voices are very good, so is the chorus, and the music is great too.
My step dad ( may he rest in peace) played their records all of the time in the late 60's and early 70's. Listening to this brings back so many pleasant memories!
Wonderful sound, timless! The beautiful voices of lead vocalist, Lani Hall, and backing vocals by Bibi Vogel, Jose Soares, Bob Matthews and Sérgio Méndes, are pretty much distinctive. They were introduced to the USA by famed, award winning trumpeter, Herb Alpert.
This version of Mas que Nada is one of my all-time favorite songs of any genre. I don't speak Portuguese but I learned to sing the lyrics nevertheless lol
In the years I was crazy for Steppenwolf, the Beatles, & the Beach Boys (& way more). But here we have, the other stuff I listened too. Ya, I listened to Herb Albert, Ramsey Lewis Trio and Boston Pops as well as Brasil '66. I also played in a garage band. Music filled our house everyday. Hey, Let's get the band back together! Somersworth, NH.
This music is timeless. Can remember this stuff on the radio as a young teen here in Australia. Leaves the crap today for dead. Sergio Mendes is a musical genius, a unique and brilliant sound he created with Brazil 66. This music will never die.
Look of Love & Nite & Day... such Wonderful memories come flooding back; remembering when i first heard these songs during the excitement of youth and 1st Love!!
While in girls' boarding school, I feel in love with the most marvelous man (a military cadet) while listening to Sergio Mendes. 46 years later, we still get so emotional listening to Sergio and Lani Hall.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GRADE YOU WERE IN WHEN YOU HEARD SERGIO MENDES AND BRAZIL 66 (MAS QUE NADA) THEN BUT IN 1968 YOU PROBABLY RECOGNIZED THIS SONG BY THIS ARTIST AS BEING ICONIC AND TIMELESS TOO 2 YEARS LATER HUGH MASEKELA (GRAZING IN THE GRASS) TAP THAT BABY UP FOR YOURSELF IF YOU'D LIKE SERGIO MENDES YOU WILL LOVE THIS!!
Congratulations! My soulmate and I would have celebrated fifty years of listening to Sergio Mendes, eight children, and forty-eight years of marriage on October 20 had she not "passed" in 1997. Brasil '66, -'77, and -'88 will always be close to my heart, and their music will always bring forth a sense of nostalgia and a few tears. Thank you for posting.
@@edwatts9890 so sorry for your loss. By concentrating on the good times and the special person that she was, she will live in your heart. And in all of the hearts that she touched in her own special way. Stay strong my brother!
Mi hermana mayor que ya se adelantó le gustaba mucho una estación de radio aquí en México que era 620 y ahí tocaban esa hermosura de música ya pasó más de 55 años y para mí es música celestial
Me neither! I will never get tired of listening to Brazil 66. Fifty years! Holy cow. This morning I cry because I never found the one I could be the velvet moon for.
When I was 6yrsold, my Uncle who is a veterans in Vietnam always playing this group of Sergio Mendez. While Iam sitting at our front door, my uncle heard me that I was singing too. He said to me, I m still young to know the misic of Sergio Mendez. I said to him thats my favorite songs. 😍👍
Back in the days when you didn't have understand the words, but your soul did. Such a great time to be alive. Much of the music today still can't be understood but for different reasons. Only some misguided anger and hate come through, no love..
Like a Lover, OMG. How I dream of listing to this Amazing Music on a white sandy beach somewhere in Greece! This melody, the vocals of this amazing Woman Emilie-Claire Barlow is magic
Puedo decir algo similar. Aún veo a mi madre bailando y a mi tía titi Rip Cantando con su voz de ángeles Bueno se que estas entre agresivo cantando . Te amo tía Titi
Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66: I think these are some of the greatest love songs ever written and performed. They are so personal and beautiful. You want to experience every word. I'm not sure if Sergio followed this beautiful path with his later recordings, but these songs are unique and breathtaking. World Class!
Yes, I'm afraid I'm the same as a fellow 'commenter'. I never tire of Sergio Mended & Brazil '66. Had their Greatest Hits LP--(Yes, I'm dating myself--So WHAT!?!?), & ALLways played it. Love this FANtastic group & the Bossa Nova. Their musical arrangements were spot-on. I heard from somewhere that Harrison Ford working at some carpentry helped build Sergio Mendes's music studio. How's them apples???.... LOL!!
My parents used to play this album and danced! I have loved it since childhood! And, introduce people to it! Everyone else loves it too! The whole album is fantastic! Thank you so very much mom and dad!❤️🙏
2021. Tickles my brain. Still love it. In 1966 I was seven. I couldn't wait to download on Limewire. Then I would play the album in my taxi circa 2000, And my customers were amazed. I always enjoyed playing cd mixes for my customers. I would make a new cd mix before my shift and play it all night long.
This group influenced my appreciation of music since day 1. The arrangements, harmony and that "it" factor all rolled into one supercharged sound. Timeless
From Trinidad and Tobago man!Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 Rock man, this music carries you on a Cloud anf never let's you fall.H.R.H. Lani has one of the most beautiful voices in Music.We grew up with Sergio and Brazil 66 and still reach the Cloud everytime we hear this album.
I Looove this music❤ I was a little girl growing up in 🇹🇹 Trinidad when I first heard this Beautiful Music. My favorite. song is Like a Lover......Thank You for posting😊
SERGIO MENDES GREATEST HITS… I AM STARTING TO REDISCOVER THOSE SONGS THAT CAME OUT A FEW YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN. HE’S A GREAT ARRANGER & PIANO PLAYER. And he sure can sing too. Kenneth Huang. 9/12/24.
I was born in 1955 and I loved these then and now--I remember my dad had an LP by Alpert tj brass with the whip cream lady on the cover. Hey, nothing wrong with that girl from Ipanema! When you see genius and beauty across the racial divide, it makes a huge impression!
I was introduced to his music from my sister’s boyfriend who was an exceptional musician too when he discovered Sergio he played his himself every night as a fan and also about the music a new rhythm he and I never heard before and to think that few months later in my first concert ever I went to see him some I didn’t expected I just moved to live in New York very green no English either but very eager to learn about the all the possibilities that this new word will offend
I can remember as a little girl, my parents putting this record on the hifi and dancing in the living room… such a fantastic way to grow up. #Brasil66forever
Been listening to this since I was six years old. 63 now 2024! Still sounds good. I'm so glad my family loves all kinds of music.
Same with me only i turned 64 in April
My mom would play Sergio Mendes when we were living in Chicago during the 70s. I always loved this album and she introduced me to the entire Mendes discography. I especially loved the female vocalists - their phrasings and stylistic approach to the songs. Sergio Mendes is the genius of minimalism!
I was 13 and would get these albums for my birthday along with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass! I am 70 now and love this music as ever if not more. So glad I grew up when did!❤
Thats funny. I'm close to 70 & love both those albums... it was a great time to be alive, musically speaking!
I, too, am close to 70, and also got SM/B66 albums plus Herb Alpert albums early on... great minds think alike! Fantastic music sadly not available from any artist today...

Aww I’m 24 now. And I grew up listening to this
Keep going strong 💪 and enjoy 😊 the music ❤️😻✌️
Amen. I'm younger but as a child this song was ingrained in my mind as an awesome song.
I love albums that ride with you. Profanity for the sake of profanity... I got a piano and it was not a sample.
RIP Sergio. Thank you for all of the great songs. Brasil 65, 66, 77, 88.
Spot on ! You speak for me . Thanks . Hyper Melodic !
He may be gone, but his music will live on. These songs were the backdrop to the youth and young adulthood of many of us. So glad to have shared this earth with such a talent.

That's right

I was one of them... But am not anymore. :)
Was this music for sofistic people and not popular music
I fall hypnotized when I listen to such beautiful songs like So Many Stars performed by Lena? is her name.

I was born 1960 and I kept loving his music and still savoring its beautiful sound. I never get tired listening to his masterpieces.
Me too. Also born 1960. My mom played this on the stereo all THE TIME; 😢😊😊❤❤ I miss it.
This was a style of music I would have never listened to or picked up on my own.

Born in 64, I connected with this album as a preteen in the mid 70s. The connection was deeply organic and forever influenced my taste in music…
This was fantastic 55 years ago, and continues to be fantastic now and always.
No kiddin. 🥰 I think my parents had an album with at least one of these songs!!

Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66 has such a great rhythmic and melodic style. So great to hear. Be sober. Be safe. Love and be loved. Be vigilant.
Eso es asi💕💃🎶
Still wonderful, we saw them last week at Jazz Alley in Seattle, it was a terrific evening. Elegant and sophisticated music. A great treat for us.
When I need cheering up...this is my go to album. Lani's vocals are incredible.
Great choice.
Try her solo album Sundown Lady,
I grew up listening to this in the 60s. It was a wonderful soundtrack for life. Today, music has been weaponized, to create strife, tension, and anxiety. Turn on your car radio and flip through the dial, if you can stand it.
Why why why-tom jones? Great point!its like we had music for the best of times and today's pablum seems almost organized in its chaotic vibe.Soundtrack for end times?
These arrangements and their performance are an expression of absolute genius: genuine art, impeccable taste, total respect, and infinite care. I will always love them.
Fifty years later still love the album.
One of the great classics.
My parents listened to this. Thus me as well.
I completely agree.
I KNOW EVERY NOTE... I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS ALBUM.
Great music - beautiful.
Certainly worth buying albums back then.
Good old songs, I used to hear so long ago, that are still very good to hear. The girl's voices are very good, so is the chorus, and the music is great too.
I'm 59 now growing up our family parties this album was a must in ever household
I so agree I love this group of talented people so much ❤ it brings such happiness ☺️ and joy to me thank God that they existed
I was just a young boy then. I still listen too and love Sergio Mendez because he brings awesome music in every decade.
My step dad ( may he rest in peace) played their records all of the time in the late 60's and early 70's. Listening to this brings back so many pleasant memories!
Wonderful sound, timless! The beautiful voices of lead vocalist, Lani Hall, and backing vocals by Bibi Vogel, Jose Soares, Bob Matthews and Sérgio Méndes, are pretty much distinctive. They were introduced to the USA by famed, award winning trumpeter, Herb Alpert.
Lani is absolutely Brilliant as lead singer the band was no less than perfect!
She ended up married to Herb Alpert.❤
This version of Mas que Nada is one of my all-time favorite songs of any genre. I don't speak Portuguese but I learned to sing the lyrics nevertheless lol
In the years I was crazy for Steppenwolf, the Beatles, & the Beach Boys (& way more). But here we have, the other stuff I listened too. Ya, I listened to Herb Albert, Ramsey Lewis Trio and Boston Pops as well as Brasil '66. I also played in a garage band. Music filled our house everyday. Hey, Let's get the band back together! Somersworth, NH.
RIP Sergio. Your songs will be eternal
How can you help but to be a cheerful person growing up listening to this music? I remember hearing a lot of Sergio Mendes and Paul Mauriat back then.
I am such a fan of this group since I discovered them as a teenager. I also love other Brazilian musicians music.I go to a beach somewhere in my mind.
A & M Records Herb Albert presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66. Ahh, now that's it for me. Such talent, such music, absolutely brilliant.
FaBulous as ever . Briliant!

This music is timeless. Can remember this stuff on the radio as a young teen here in Australia. Leaves the crap today for dead. Sergio Mendes is a musical genius, a unique and brilliant sound he created with Brazil 66. This music will never die.

Look of Love & Nite & Day... such Wonderful memories come
flooding back; remembering when i first heard these songs
during the excitement of youth and 1st Love!!
My mom played this ALL THE TIME. She had good taste 😌 in music 🎶 🎵 😌 😏 😍
This instantly makes me happy. I hope to remember this when I'm in a crappy mood! What great music, feel, arrangements, and joy.
Long live Brazilian music. Special greeting to Jorge Ben Jor. 0:07
My mom would do housework to this album. She was so happy listening to this.

One of my favorite albums of all time!!
Love this music; listening to it now...😊
that album is one of those things that happen...one in a million. Timeless
While in girls' boarding school, I feel in love with the most marvelous man (a military cadet) while listening to Sergio Mendes. 46 years later, we still get so emotional listening to Sergio and Lani Hall.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GRADE YOU WERE IN WHEN YOU HEARD SERGIO MENDES AND BRAZIL 66 (MAS QUE NADA) THEN BUT IN 1968 YOU PROBABLY RECOGNIZED THIS SONG BY THIS ARTIST AS BEING ICONIC AND TIMELESS TOO 2 YEARS LATER HUGH MASEKELA (GRAZING IN THE GRASS) TAP THAT BABY UP FOR YOURSELF IF YOU'D LIKE SERGIO MENDES YOU WILL LOVE THIS!!
Congratulations on many happy years of marriage. How can you go wrong listening to music like this?
Congratulations! My soulmate and I would have celebrated fifty years of listening to Sergio Mendes, eight children, and forty-eight years of marriage on October 20 had she not "passed" in 1997. Brasil '66, -'77, and -'88 will always be close to my heart, and their music will always bring forth a sense of nostalgia and a few tears. Thank you for posting.
@@edwatts9890 so sorry for your loss. By concentrating on the good times and the special person that she was, she will live in your heart. And in all of the hearts that she touched in her own special way. Stay strong my brother!
@@cjsansoo7: And she does. Thank you.
Mi hermana mayor que ya se adelantó le gustaba mucho una estación de radio aquí en México que era 620 y ahí tocaban esa hermosura de música ya pasó más de 55 años y para mí es música celestial
Every single track on this LP is TOP NOTCH! And timeless, they were just perfect.
Will never get tired of listening to Sergion Mendez & Brasil 66.
Beautiful music. Timeless!
Me neither! I will never get tired of listening to Brazil 66.
Fifty years! Holy cow.
This morning I cry because I never found the one I could be the velvet moon for.
O Brasil ja teve musica
Same here. Real 🎵 🎵 music
Mendes my friend. 😘
When I was 6yrsold, my Uncle who is a veterans in Vietnam always playing this group of Sergio Mendez. While Iam sitting at our front door, my uncle heard me that I was singing too.
He said to me, I m still young to know the misic of Sergio Mendez. I said to him thats my favorite songs. 😍👍
These songs are some of my favorite songs of my lifetime, of 55 years!!!!
😊 me too. Greetings from Italy
Mine too,! I'm the same age.
Right there with you! 54 (soon to be 55) born in 1966. My parents saw Sergio Mendez play in Santa Barabara where we lived. They loved it!
@@nikkycalvert1801 lucky them!
Me too! I’m 56 💕 love it!!! Born 1965
I purchased this album at 19 years old and I still have it in my collection. It will never go out of style.
those girls were beautiful, I remember them from the 70s ,that's when we had class in the country
I'll go to my grave loving Lani Hall.
@@franciskaras7425 :D I suppose Herb Alpert would understand why, too. Although he knows better than both of us, and will never tell. :D
Sergio Méndez Co todos los efectivos, fueron y son principales de una época super hermosa
@@elviamedina3969 Can you please explain your reply in English
It's so true, the 1960's were the last decade America had real style and class.
It would be nice if we could bring it back better...
Thanks Mr. Mendes for this wonderful albuns.
Back in the days when you didn't have understand the words, but your soul did. Such a great time to be alive. Much of the music today still can't be understood but for different reasons. Only some misguided
anger and hate come through, no love..
Like a Lover, OMG. How I dream of listing to this Amazing Music on a white sandy beach somewhere in Greece! This melody, the vocals of this amazing Woman Emilie-Claire Barlow is magic
Mega dittos that thought, my friend. They were in a class by themselves. Thank you JESUS, you give us things to enjoy. You are Numero uno.
desde que tenía 7 años me fascina la música de Sergio Mendes y ahora que tengo 61 años. Desde México saludos
Puedo decir algo similar. Aún veo a mi madre bailando y a mi tía titi Rip Cantando con su voz de ángeles Bueno se que estas entre agresivo cantando . Te amo tía Titi
Yo tables! 62 anos!
Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66: I think these are some of the greatest love songs ever written and performed. They are so personal and beautiful. You want to experience every word. I'm not sure if Sergio followed this beautiful path with his later recordings, but these songs are unique and breathtaking. World Class!
Yes a tapestry of love and emotion and Rhythm and the perfect combination I might add musical arrangement perfection
He had a hit in the 80s, 'Alibis', but it sounded nothing like this, more like common pop of that time,
Yes, I'm afraid I'm the same as a fellow 'commenter'. I never tire of Sergio Mended & Brazil '66. Had their Greatest Hits LP--(Yes, I'm dating myself--So WHAT!?!?), & ALLways played it. Love this FANtastic group & the Bossa Nova. Their musical arrangements were spot-on. I heard from somewhere that Harrison Ford working at some carpentry helped build Sergio Mendes's music studio. How's them apples???.... LOL!!
My parents used to play this album and danced! I have loved it since childhood! And, introduce people to it! Everyone else loves it too! The whole album is fantastic! Thank you so very much mom and dad!❤️🙏
2021. Tickles my brain. Still love it. In 1966 I was seven. I couldn't wait to download on Limewire. Then I would play the album in my taxi circa 2000, And my customers were amazed. I always enjoyed playing cd mixes for my customers. I would make a new cd mix before my shift and play it all night long.
This group influenced my appreciation of music since day 1. The arrangements, harmony and that "it" factor all rolled into one supercharged sound. Timeless
The Look of Love
The female vocals are beautiful and very mesmerizing,
Night and Day
Flows wonderfully to ones ears, so lovely, very comforting
From Trinidad and Tobago man!Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 Rock man, this music carries you on a Cloud anf never let's you fall.H.R.H. Lani has one of the most beautiful voices in Music.We grew up with Sergio and Brazil 66 and still reach the Cloud everytime we hear this album.

As a musician I respect and love Sergio Mendes the music is sophisticated and a challenge to play authentically.
I Looove this music❤ I was a little girl growing up in 🇹🇹 Trinidad when I first heard this Beautiful Music. My favorite. song is Like a Lover......Thank You for posting😊
SERGIO MENDES GREATEST HITS… I AM STARTING TO REDISCOVER THOSE SONGS THAT CAME OUT A FEW YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN. HE’S A GREAT ARRANGER & PIANO PLAYER. And he sure can sing too.

I was born in 1955 and I loved these then and now--I remember my dad had an LP by Alpert tj brass with the whip cream lady on the cover. Hey, nothing wrong with that girl from Ipanema! When you see genius and beauty across the racial divide, it makes a huge impression!
Jr. High school, for me, it was being played at my parent's house, though. Great addition to anyone's collection. Summer dinner party!
What a great sound no one could better
beautiful timeless music. sooths the soul !!!!!
A time when music was still music. I was 1 year old when when this was recorded. Im now 56 and living the music of Sergio Mendes Brasil 66
I was introduced to his music from my sister’s boyfriend who was an exceptional musician too when he discovered Sergio he played his himself every night as a fan and also about the music a new rhythm he and I never heard before and to think that few months later in my first concert ever I went to see him some I didn’t expected I just moved to live in New York very green no English either but very eager to learn about the all the possibilities that this new word will offend
