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 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.
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...
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 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!
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 !!!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🌤🚵♀️🏝
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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!
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.
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!

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
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!
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!
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 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?
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!
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.
Sergio Mendes and Herb Alpert, along with a few others, were at the cutting edge of introducing us to the Latin sound during the heyday of the British Invasion (Beatles, Stones, etc,.) in the '60s and then into the '70s. Both groups endured and their sounds remain classics. Great music,. Thanks for posting, Mr. Vinyl.

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.
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.
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
a really big chart place into history is their album: look around. 'loved it as a little girl, played it until worn out! 'miss women having singing voices as what these two did/do❤. thank you for this post of truly Gifted music:)
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😊
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.
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!!
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!! ...
Pasando unos días de vacaciones en Santiago de Chile,mi país,.Creo no tener más de 22 años compré una cassete en una tienda de música que ya no existe,la Feria Chilena del Disco, me vine con mi cassete de Sergio Mendes y que escuchaba en mi "personal stereo"...Adoro la música de Sergio y también a Benito di Paula...escuchar de nuevo me retorna a mi juventud y evocar grandes recuerdos vividos antes de la dictadura de Pinochet..Mi saludos a todos que gusten de estos grandes interpretes...si me dejas un comentario,será de mucho agrado.....Abrazos desde CHILE.
@@MrVinylObsessive GRACIAS, INDUDABLE,LA VIDA SIEMPRE A GIRADO CON LA MUSICA...VEO TIENES UNA BUENA COLECCION DE VINILOS,SEGUIRE ESCUCHANDO Y FELICITACIONES.
Me enamore del Bosa Nova gracias a mis recordados padres quienes bailaban y disfrutaban de esta música plenamente, hoy soy un fanático de la misma y también la colecciono, les envío un Cálido y fraternal saludo Amazónico desde Iquitos - Perú, Cuna del Sol, misterios y mañanas de cristal al margen derecho del Majestuoso Río Mar Amazonas.
Para mi escuchar la música de Sergio Mendes, me trae recuerdos maravillosos al ir en carretera, me relaja mucho, ya que disfruto del viaje y de la música.
Misica es 1 gran paleativo. Me alegra que tienes buen gusto. Es realmente fabulosa.!!! Me sorprende que ese asesino de Pinochet no haya prohibido tocar esta musica.
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..
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!❤️🙏
I've been listening since i was 6 years old Excelent style, quality , i can't possibly say enough good things about this music and how it impacted my growing up. It still resonates in a world that has growm more automated and uglier.❤
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.
You're gonna love it! So much beautiful music to be explored.
That so sad that you missed the debut of this super album...
Better late than never....
I loved this music when I was growing up in the 60’s and still love it now that I am almost 64!
Dear man... go catch UP. IT WILL HEAL U.
You're Kidding me, right??
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.
I love it too Dulcie, smooth,sexy I am 80 next year too.
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.
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
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...
My condolences to those that have never discovered the great music of Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66...
That's right
(does the cha cha)
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.

@@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.
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!
Francesca.
My father used to play this music. My brother and I didn't know at the time we were listening to some of the best music ever made.
@dgibbs2173 YESSSsss !! 😊
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!
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...
Rest in peace, my friend, I will always love your music. Thank you.
My mom would do housework to this album. She was so happy listening to this.
Same. Great memories
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 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?
I was just a young boy then. I still listen too and love Sergio Mendez because he brings awesome music in every decade.
Love this music; listening to it now...😊
I'm 59 now growing up our family parties this album was a must in ever household
The best musician since the 60's. All of his songs are great! Still listening this Mar 21,2021
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,
I got to see Herb Alpert and Lani Hall in concert recently. They included a set of Brasil '66 tunes, and Lani still sounds fantastic!
She had a wonderful voice... and very pleasant to the eyes too, LOL (i'm almost sure Herb doesn't know my channel, so i'm safe 😏)
Lani Hall and Astrud Gilberto - WOW, WOWIE WOW WOW !!!
Lani Hall was on a Herb Alpert hit in 1974, 'Save the Sunlight'.
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.
Thank You Sir. We have... and will enjoy, your music for many more years to come.
that album is one of those things that happen...one in a million. Timeless
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.
This music is just pure pure class.
My thoughts 100% also! Loved it
years ago.....NEVER grows old!.
So many wonderful memories !
TIMELESS!! What happened to
real music?!!😣
Sergio Mendes and Herb Alpert, along with a few others, were at the cutting edge of introducing us to the Latin sound during the heyday of the British Invasion (Beatles, Stones, etc,.) in the '60s and then into the '70s. Both groups endured and their sounds remain classics. Great music,. Thanks for posting, Mr. Vinyl.
A Herb Alpert motif appears in 'One Note Samba'. The Herb Alpert tune used was 'Spanish Flea'.

Sergio's piano comping is legendary. Him and Bill Evans are masters..
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
“Y en 620, la música que llegó para quedarse”
What a great world cup this was!! England🏴
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.
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 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
I'm on a deserted island and get two artists, give me Steely Dan and Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66
Well you know, those are some pretty good darn choices!! Don't know if I could argue with you one that one!!
Can't argue with those choices. Timeless and awesome both then and now.
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.
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.
Wow, if only I could go back in time, hearing this gives me the chills, and good memories!
This is the best.
I love this album
The Look of Love
The female vocals are beautiful and very mesmerizing,
Night and Day
Flows wonderfully to ones ears, so lovely, very comforting
My mom played this ALL THE TIME. She had good taste 😌 in music 🎶 🎵 😌 😏 😍
Absolute Perfection! 🌞
My eldest sisters introduced me to Sergio Mendez music.We are all music lovers in the family.
One of my favorite albums of all time!!
Beautiful video of the arm and the turntable.. so cool, so relaxing.. just exactly the way this music should be heard and enjoyed.. ❤
They need to bring back records and stereo systems....❤...AND ALBUM COVERS !!!!!
Oh my gosh I love this music so much I sing along! 😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
@@murielstewart8597 Vinyl records HAVE made a huge comeback.
I purchased this album at 19 years old and I still have it in my collection. It will never go out of style.
I grew up in the 60's listening to this, and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and others.
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
What a great sound no one could better
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
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
a really big chart place into history is their album: look around. 'loved it as a little girl, played it until worn out! 'miss women having singing voices as what these two did/do❤. thank you for this post of truly Gifted music:)
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😊
Every single track on this LP is TOP NOTCH! And timeless, they were just perfect.
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.
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!!
Back when we had REAL Musicians and people that could sing and carry a tune. Fantastic Group
"Mas Que Nada" by Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 is my late, dear mother's favorite song!
mais que nada music by Jorge benjor
Mine too
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!!
...
Pasando unos días de vacaciones en Santiago de Chile,mi país,.Creo no tener más de 22 años compré una cassete en una tienda de música que ya no existe,la Feria Chilena del Disco, me vine con mi cassete de Sergio Mendes y que escuchaba en mi "personal stereo"...Adoro la música de Sergio y también a Benito di Paula...escuchar de nuevo me retorna a mi juventud y evocar grandes recuerdos vividos antes de la dictadura de Pinochet..Mi saludos a todos que gusten de estos grandes interpretes...si me dejas un comentario,será de mucho agrado.....Abrazos desde CHILE.
Muchas gracias por compartir tus recuerdos con nosotros, y me alegra que disfrutes esto.
Saludos desde Portugal!
@@MrVinylObsessive GRACIAS, INDUDABLE,LA VIDA SIEMPRE A GIRADO CON LA MUSICA...VEO TIENES UNA BUENA COLECCION DE VINILOS,SEGUIRE ESCUCHANDO Y FELICITACIONES.
Me enamore del Bosa Nova gracias a mis recordados padres quienes bailaban y disfrutaban de esta música plenamente, hoy soy un fanático de la misma y también la colecciono, les envío un Cálido y fraternal saludo Amazónico desde Iquitos - Perú, Cuna del Sol, misterios y mañanas de cristal al margen derecho del Majestuoso Río Mar Amazonas.
Para mi escuchar la música de Sergio Mendes, me trae recuerdos maravillosos al ir en carretera, me relaja mucho, ya que disfruto del viaje y de la música.
Misica es 1 gran paleativo.
Me alegra que tienes buen gusto. Es realmente fabulosa.!!! Me sorprende
que ese asesino de Pinochet no haya prohibido tocar esta musica.
Sergio Mendez, A Music Legend.
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..
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!❤️🙏
I've been listening since i was 6 years old Excelent style, quality , i can't possibly say enough good things about this music and how it impacted my growing up. It still resonates in a world that has growm more automated and uglier.❤
Many people have recorded "Like A Lover" but the Brasil 66 version is clearly the BEST!
