Please contact me if you know from which tv show this is OR how I can get a HQ copy of this. I asked the person who originally put this on TH-cam, but he doesn't respond.
When I started dating my wife in 1964 this was one of the very first songs we listened to and bought. She died two weeks ago and I still love her and remember this like it was 1964. God bless you Elisabeth.
This song gave me comfort as a child being passed from foster parent to foster parent. I heard it on the car radio, I had to be like five or six. Her voice and the smoothness of the song really lifted my mood. RIP.
Saw her at a show at Elarios in La Jolla...it was the day Stan Getz died, June 6, 1991...she hadn’t performed The Girl from Impenea for many years but honored Stan that night by performing before a relatively small audience...thrilling. Just as she finished the song, I spoke to a guy sitting right behind me and said damn, that was fantastic....he immediately agreed. Hey, you look a lot like Les Paul! His response, I am Les Paul.
@@davidmossholder3610 YES SHES VERY MUNDANE. BUT THE SONG IS CALMING AND ALSO BY THE WAY A JAZZ CLASSIC. ITS BEEN AROUND FOR ALMOST 60 YEARS . STILL SOUNDS GOOD
I have listen to this song for 55 years. I never tired of it and knowing she passed has shocked me. I never thought it would happen. I know that sounds crazy, but all the times I would play this on You Tube,it never crossed my mine. The women I loved, never met and will always miss.
My father liked this song very much as well as several other songs that Astrud sang. By coincidence he died on the exact same day that she did, June 5th, 2023. She was 83 and he was 89.
This wonderful woman was the queen of Bossa Nova. A unique voice and caliber all to her own, and a legend to remember and acknowledge for all time. RIP Astrud Gilberto 🕊️
My dad used to sit in our living room in hawaii and serenade my mother .its been almost ten years since moms been gone but this song makes me feel like she never left ♡
RIP Astrud.... You created not only a timeless classic, but outsold the Beatles in the year of the Beatles. And your work on Beach Samba, etc. is also great.
While this album sold well, it sold 685,000 copies. In 1964, the Beatles sold over 15 million albums. Nobody outsold the Beatles in 1964. Although, the highest selling single album was by Herb Alpert
Five million. No Beatles single sold 5 million in 1964. The 15 million is collective. TGFI outsold the Beatles in 1964 on a single basis @kylabaxter @@kylabaxter
Herb Alpert made it all happen, Getz, Astrud, the Carpenters, Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 (lead singer is his wife), Burt Bacharach, etc. Seeing him later this month, still playing great at 88! .. and so is the wife!@@kylabaxter
I did have a period of hating it as it was the only tune on the lifts where I used to work. The lifts were slow and going to the conference rooms inevitably led to hours of meetings that we're generally pointless, where I had to take the minutes. Once I got over all that, I started enjoying it again.
So sad to hear that Astrud Gilberto passed away on 5 June 23. I remember as a kid in the 60s, being captivated by her icy-smooth vocals. Astrud, along with Jobim and Getz, introduced me to to the world of Bossa Nova music. Thank you Astrud and may you rest in peace.

@@CarbageMan Yes, it is necessary to correct, Jazz and Bossa Nova have their differences, as well as Rap and Trap, for example, and it is important to talk because this is cultural, Bossa Nova is original from Brazil, and even so many people don't even know that second greatest song in history is a Brazilian music genre.
Astrud wasn’t supposed to sing this song. It was her husband. Getz discovered she knew English and could sing Great discovery. Lovely woman. Thanks Stan!
This song was recorded on first take. One of the most commercially successful songs ever. Astrud had never sung professionally prior to the recording - she literally was a shower singer. It rocketed her to instant (and may I say immortal) international star status. Ironically she was quite shy which imo shows in her stage presence. Ironically it makes her even more aloof and sexy...
@@audieconrad8995 The one thing I noticed is that her arms basically just hang at her side with her palms open! I LOVE this song & the version in Portuguese with her husband Joao Gilberto. I'm really surprised she have a more physical movement with her arms & hands to get into the basso nova moment.
I have an original version on an old jazz album that starts with Joao Gilberto singing in Portugese, with a music bridge of the sax and piano and then she sings in English. I read on her that she speaks/spoke 7 languages.
Anthony i always thought i was this beautiful girl ,,,i was 19 years old when this classic came out ,, now im 76 years old ,,, This is the best song ever xx lol
In one of the "Yesterday Today Tribute" videos, they show a BW photo, taken in 1963 or 1964, of a woman who is said to be "the girl from Ipanema." I'm pretty sure the woman in the photo is not the woman shown singing in this video, but I'm going to search for the photo. I must know if maybe it is the same woman! A woman who is that beautiful can change her appearance quite a bit with a change of hairstyle and a little makeup.
There's music that you like, and then there's art. This is an abstract painting...you can't quite understand how they did it, but you love it. Beautiful.

Rest in peace, Astrud. ‘Your song’ is one of life’s treasures that seemed to always be playing in the background. You won’t ever be forgotten, God bless.🙏
Hip Hop got me into jazz. Artists like Guru and Digable Planets were heavily influenced with jazz. I still listen to old school hip hop 80-90s and have a vast collection of jazz
Me too - I suppose it was at the peak of my vinyl-buying phase in the '60s. I've got a lot of Astrud's recordings as well as Stan's. It sparked an enduring love of Brazilian music, now carried in for me by Eliane Elias. I'm twice your age and it still enjoyable!
Descanse em Pais Rainha do Bossa Nova, com uma voz única e um charme vocal inesquecível. um Tesouro do Patrimônio Cultural Brasil. R.I.P Astrud Gilberto 💔
She was such a lovely person. Her artistry has been one of it's kind. Do y'all know she wasn't paid anything for this song? Also, Stan Getz abused her and underpaid her while being on tour with him. And she became a global sensation thereafter. Will miss her! Rip Astrud 💔
Geoff i like your comment ,,,,,, This young women is utterly beautiful , she gives a sexual appeal in the nicest way possible ,,,,, The brain functions so easy when listening xx Jane xx
I was 11 years old when I saw this. I had already taken several years of piano lessons and had started the French Horn the year before. I was so completely captivated by her voice, the band, and the Bossa Nova sound. I still am.
Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah When she walks, she's like a samba That swings so cool and sways so gently That when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah Oh, but he watches so sadly How can he tell her he loves her Yes, he would give his heart gladly But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at him Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes He smiles, but she doesn't see Oh, but he sees her so sadly How can he tell her he loves her Yes, he would give his heart gladly But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at him Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn't see She just doesn't see, no she just doesn't see But she doesn't see, she doesn't see, no she just doesn't see
@San Patricio's Space Dolphin Brigada Unfortunately, each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at San Patricio's Space Dolphin Brigada
A friend of mine once said after hearing this singer sing this song - "She's not doing anything! Anybody could sing like her." To which, I wish I had replied: Maybe she IS a complete natural, and her singing is as effortless as it seems. But could YOU do it?? I know I couldn't. Her intonation is perfert, her diction is flawless, her phrasing is right on. This is a perfect performance, and it is live to boot. Go ahead - give it a shot - and you'll find out just how much know-how went into singing this song!
I grew up on this era and saw many performances like this. It was not effortless; the timing was relentlessly practiced and flawlessly executed. the difference in the performances today and then was the performers today vs then want to be endlessly fawned on for even being able to come close to that performance.
My Mum and Dad had this single record way back in time and they played it all the time and danced in the kitchen when Mum was cooking. I love this song! 🎵🎵. I'm 66 now! Xx
Thank you, astrud gilberto. I will never forget you. When i first hear this song, your voice had me hypnotized. I couldnt get enough of this song and played it over and over. You introduced me to the lovely genre of bossa nova. Im sad i never got to meet you, RIP ❤️
Shabnam i was 16 years old when i first heard this divine song , it thrills me to the bone ,xx now im 76 i still adore the song ,, this young woman is so beautiful lol xx
lindo ! a riqueza de detalhes neste vídeo é incrível. A logo arquitetônica do calçadão de ipanema, o solo de sax , o deslocamento dela até o microfone e a banda ao fundo.tudo isso em 1964
It can seem kind of lame and pop-ish on a first listen. But listen again, realize it's not about the girl but about the narrator/observer, and the rich, deep emotion he feels, the painful longing for the thing(even if it's just a girl) he never really had and never will - it really captures "saudade" perfectly
RIP Astrud Gilberto. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen. I thank God that Astrud leaves behind her recordings so that I can continue to enjoy her vocal stylings.
No one has ever been so enchanting singing that song. Her seeming a little shy just amplifies her charm. (And it doesn't hurt that she was a sweet, warm voice with perfect pitch and phrasing.) The words depict a 2nd person narration, but nobody but nobody could BE the girl from Ipanema more than Astrud Gilberto. She embodies that girl by the way she walks and holds herself and sings - all the mannerisms you'd expect in that girl on the beach. Astrud certainly makes me go ahhhh....
Her voice is so complementary to the sax and vice versa. Im always fascinated about the shape of the structure of a singers nose and mouth and throat when they have a unique instrumental sound in their vocals, shes a human clarinet. Beautiful voice!!!!!!!
And so today I have just learned that 🎶"The Girl from Ipanema"🎶 is gone @ 83. Another part of my Childhood has passed away 😭. I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG every since I first heard it, in '64 I was 5 years old, I'm 64 now. May God Bless You and May You Rest In Heavenly Peace 🙏🏽✝️🎶🎤❤️🌹🕊️☮️
I started listening to this song around last year, and it became one of my favorites, it's so comforting that it makes me think "I don't want to leave here", it somehow conveys that something.
Abril i like your comment , i was 16 years old when this classic came out , i fell in love at first hear ,, Now im 76 years young i still adore this very charming song ,,,kind regards Jane xx
Happy 81st birthday to Astrud Gilberto, Astrud's voice with that air of innocence, is just ripe for this Bossa Nova classic from the 60s with Stan Getz on sax, watching the video you really catch that 60s vibe too, co written by Antonio Carlos Jobim
Richard my name is Jane i was 19 years old when this divine classic came out ,It was instant love at first hear,,,its the most adorable sexy song , ,,I still get cold chills every time i hear it ,,im now 76 years old ,,im happy to say i still get thrills every time i play it lol xx
While Helô inspired the song, it was another Carioca who carried it beyond Rio. Astrud Gilberto was the wife of singing star João Gilberto when she entered an NYC studio in March 1963. João and Jobim were making a record with tenor saxman Stan Getz. The idea of cutting a verse on “Ipanema” in English came up, and Astrud was the only one of the Brazilians who spoke more than phrasebook English. Astrud’s child-like vocal, devoid of vibrato and singerly mannerisms, was the perfect foil for her husband’s soft bumblebee voice. Jobim tinkled piano. Getz blew a creamy smooth tenor. Four minutes of magic went to tape. A year later, the song was casting its quiet spell of sea and sand on the charts, washing past the Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” It peaked in mid-June at No. 5, selling over two million copies. “The Girl From Ipanema” went on to become the second-most recorded popular song in history, behind “Yesterday.” Covered by an A-Z gamut of performers.
*Only the 'Beatles' knocked down' the 'Beatles'...in 1964, they out-sold every recording artist(s) COMBINED!* *At one point, they held the 'Top 3' charting positions according to 'BillBoard' with three different tunes taking turns at the '#1' position* (Am I discrediting your 'Comment?' No, but to give the impression that "Ipanema' somehow eclipsed "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is pure fantasy)
@@gerrynightingale9045 You missed the point. Bossa Nova preceded The Beatles And also totally different sound of music from a totally different area of the world. And it was all in Portuguese originally.
@@machtschnell7452 *Okay, 'Rapid Fast' or whomever* *I wrote nothing that wasn't true, and never stated the 'Beatles created the 'Bossa Nova' nor the 'back-beat patterns'...so what is YOUR 'Point?'* ( *I don't care WHERE it originated from, including Mars, because it's completely immaterial with respect to the 'point made by someone else that the song 'eclipsed sales' from the Beatles, and it DID NOT* ) *You just wanted to 'piss on my comment' and you've FAILED*
In the mid 60s we would stayed at my grandmother's for the summer in the Va. mountains. I woke up listening to this as my uncle in the next room who was home from the Air force on leave would be playing this song down low and the whole album on his record player. Imagine a cool breeze coming through the window, birds chirping and a rooster crowing in the distance with this playing.
Astud put her imprint on this song. On the occasion of her passing, I read of how her contribution had been minimalized at the time. Any one can hear how she made it her song, how without Astrud it wouldn't be the same song. RIP, Astrud! We love you!

@@audieconrad8995 The one thing I noticed is that her arms basically just hang at her side with her palms open! I LOVE this song & the version in Portuguese with her husband Joao Gilberto. I'm really surprised she have a more physical movement with her arms & hands to get into the basso nova moment.
I have an original version on an old jazz album that starts with Joao Gilberto singing in Portugese, with a music bridge of the sax and piano and then she sings in English. I read on her that she speaks/spoke 7 languages.
She, herself sings like an exotic wind instrument.
So beautiful, so lovely
Hello Glenn, how are you doing?
I like how she speaks so clear you can understand the words. Her voice is perfect for this song.
RIP. What a song. One of my very favorites all my life.
So many have performed this, but Astrid and Stan are still the golden standard.
She has an unusual and fascinating stage presence.
Anthony i always thought i was this beautiful girl ,,,i was 19 years old when this classic came out ,, now im 76 years old ,,, This is the best song ever xx lol
@@oughtonoughton2634 what a beautiful memory...thank you for sharing ❤
In one of the "Yesterday Today Tribute" videos, they show a BW photo, taken in 1963 or 1964, of a woman who is said to be "the girl from Ipanema." I'm pretty sure the woman in the photo is not the woman shown singing in this video, but I'm going to search for the photo. I must know if maybe it is the same woman! A woman who is that beautiful can change her appearance quite a bit with a change of hairstyle and a little makeup.
She gives me the presence of a Scorpio. Dunno if that’s corny but yeah lol
@@audriiiiroberts3030 29th March Girl. She's 81 now.
My mother died a few weeks ago and this was one of her favorite songs. Rest in peace Mother Soko ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Rest in peace, a true gem in music history.
Had to comeback to this and pay tribute. RIP Astrud Gilberto
There's music that you like, and then there's art. This is an abstract painting...you can't quite understand how they did it, but you love it. Beautiful.
Miata i like your comment ,,, i was 16 years old when this divine classic came out ,, i was utterly in love at first hear x im now 76 years young ,, my heart is still in love ,,,,cold chills remind me of a very special era the 60s were xx Kind regards Jane xx
Miata i like your comment , This classic is real art , its creation was discovered many decades ago , never to be repeated as wonderful as this young womans version , its a complete work of art ,, this lovely girl gave it her very best , never to be forgotten xx long live the 60s era xxJane xx
@@oughtonoughton2634
Do you say everything twice twice?
This is beautiful but it's definitely not an abstract painting. Far from it. See Ornette Coleman or late John Coltrane for that.
Yes it's art all right.
Timeless ... Thanks for the music, dearest Astrud Gilberto. Rest in peace ...🙏
RIP😢
A beautiful song sung by a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice...so soothing. RIP
Rest in peace, Astrud. ‘Your song’ is one of life’s treasures that seemed to always be playing in the background. You won’t ever be forgotten, God bless.🙏
Saddened to hear of the passing of Joao Gilberto at the weekend..
no way :(
😢
Eu tambem
RIP
88 years old is a full life in my book
Thank you for the music, dear Astrud Gilberto. Go with love. 🌹🦋
I just heard RIP a talent
What you have given to the world will never die. RIP Astrud
RIP a lovely person who exemplifies a time in music and culture. All my love xxx
Definitely the sound of an age. Perfection. Beauty.
I'll never get enough of this era of music. I've been a fan since hearing this in a Kmart when i was 7-8. I'm 36 now
Muzak ruined all of it. Best to hear it this way.
What's a Kmart? I give Sears/Kmart 2 years more max then kaput
Hip Hop got me into jazz. Artists like Guru and Digable Planets were heavily influenced with jazz. I still listen to old school hip hop 80-90s and have a vast collection of jazz
@@fmfdocbotl4358 definitely feel you on that!
Me too - I suppose it was at the peak of my vinyl-buying phase in the '60s. I've got a lot of Astrud's recordings as well as Stan's. It sparked an enduring love of Brazilian music, now carried in for me by Eliane Elias. I'm twice your age and it still enjoyable!
Descanse em Pais Rainha do Bossa Nova, com uma voz única e um charme vocal inesquecível. um Tesouro do Patrimônio Cultural Brasil. R.I.P Astrud Gilberto 💔
Aquele comentário brasileiro e astuto que eu procurava.
She was such a lovely person. Her artistry has been one of it's kind. Do y'all know she wasn't paid anything for this song?
Also, Stan Getz abused her and underpaid her while being on tour with him.
And she became a global sensation thereafter.
Will miss her!
Rip Astrud 💔
She was paid ...120 bucks !!! .... WHOOPEE !!! .
Now, THIS is MUSIC!!! It just doesn’t get any better than Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz!
Ok chief
Credit to Joao Gilberto please, he invented the style, wrote the song, married the girl,... For mine Getz was just freeloading.
@@EJP286CRSKW That's ridiculous. Getz with Jobim contributed significantly to the popularity of Brasilian samba music.
Nobody's spouting obscenities, she's not half naked, she's not gyrating all over the stage- just sheer talent from her and Stan.
@EPA18 I agree. Getz provided the commercialization. Jobim provided the music.
She fascinates me. Her voice is so soft with no projection whatsoever but her intonation is absolutely flawless.
Geoff i like your comment ,,,,,, This young women is utterly beautiful , she gives a sexual appeal in the nicest way possible ,,,,, The brain functions so easy when listening xx Jane xx
@@oughtonoughton2634 wtf are you on bro
Her voice was so beautiful and hypnotizing.
I was 11 years old when I saw this. I had already taken several years of piano lessons and had started the French Horn the year before. I was so completely captivated by her voice, the band, and the Bossa Nova sound. I still am.
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah
Oh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes He smiles, but she doesn't see
Oh, but he sees her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see, no she just doesn't see
But she doesn't see, she doesn't see, no she just doesn't see
Thanks May!
She looks straight ahead not at HE
@San Patricio's Space Dolphin Brigada Unfortunately, each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at San Patricio's Space Dolphin Brigada
😅😂🤣😂
Plot twist. She is blind from birth.
A friend of mine once said after hearing this singer sing this song - "She's not doing anything! Anybody could sing like her." To which, I wish I had replied: Maybe she IS a complete natural, and her singing is as effortless as it seems. But could YOU do it?? I know I couldn't. Her intonation is perfert, her diction is flawless, her phrasing is right on. This is a perfect performance, and it is live to boot. Go ahead - give it a shot - and you'll find out just how much know-how went into singing this song!
some things look easy, only because the people who do it well MAKE it look easy
Kinda like Karen Carpenter?
I grew up on this era and saw many performances like this. It was not effortless; the timing was relentlessly practiced and flawlessly executed. the difference in the performances today and then was the performers today vs then want to be endlessly fawned on for even being able to come close to that performance.
It's about the tone of her voice, a reediness and clarity it has.
@@TDawg736 Exactly my thoughts. WAY clear.
R.I.P Astrud, thank you for your most wonderful and beautiful music 🙏🌌
She was the last of the pioneers of Bossa Nova, so her passing marks the end of an important era in music history and Brazilian history. RIP.
My Mum and Dad had this single record way back in time and they played it all the time and danced in the kitchen when Mum was cooking. I love this song! 🎵🎵. I'm 66 now! Xx
I think all the guys my age (74) had a crush on her back in the day. no one could say "aaah" like she could.
Thank you, astrud gilberto. I will never forget you. When i first hear this song, your voice had me hypnotized. I couldnt get enough of this song and played it over and over. You introduced me to the lovely genre of bossa nova. Im sad i never got to meet you, RIP ❤️
What a cool, classic song. Her voice is so exotic. Never get tired of listening to this beautiful song.
Shabnam i was 16 years old when i first heard this divine song , it thrills me to the bone ,xx now im 76 i still adore the song ,, this young woman is so beautiful lol xx
@@oughtonoughton2634 You are so right.
lindo ! a riqueza de detalhes neste vídeo é incrível. A logo arquitetônica do calçadão de ipanema, o solo de sax , o deslocamento dela até o microfone e a banda ao fundo.tudo isso em 1964
mas esse formato é do calçadão de copacabana. ipanema tem o calçamento com desenho quadrado.
Most wonderful song and lyrics ever. She makes a fabulous sound no actions no antics I just playing this incredible deep sound daily.
It can seem kind of lame and pop-ish on a first listen. But listen again, realize it's not about the girl but about the narrator/observer, and the rich, deep emotion he feels, the painful longing for the thing(even if it's just a girl) he never really had and never will - it really captures "saudade" perfectly
RIP my beautiful song bird. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with all of us! 💖
One of the greatest versions of one of the greatest songs of all time. The key changes, the samba, Stan on the sax. Classic!
Timeless song, beautiful performance.
RIP to this beauty ❤ the voice ,the bouffant!
RIP to one of the most Incredible Beauty’s from Brazil. What a voice.

( and Germany )

@@ritahorvath8207no, she's Brazilian
@LEVANTAA I think they thought the OP meant they were saying 'greetings from Brazil' so he said 'also greetings from Germany'
RIP Astrud Gilberto. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.
I thank God that Astrud leaves behind her recordings so that I can continue to enjoy her vocal stylings.
No one has ever been so enchanting singing that song. Her seeming a little shy just amplifies her charm. (And it doesn't hurt that she was a sweet, warm voice with perfect pitch and phrasing.) The words depict a 2nd person narration, but nobody but nobody could BE the girl from Ipanema more than Astrud Gilberto. She embodies that girl by the way she walks and holds herself and sings - all the mannerisms you'd expect in that girl on the beach. Astrud certainly makes me go ahhhh....
R.I.P Astrud. So calm, not pretentious at all. Simply captivating.
This song is so 60s! You picture James Bond and a beautiful Bond girl having a nice dinner in a fancy hotel with this song playing in the background.
Her voice is so complementary to the sax and vice versa. Im always fascinated about the shape of the structure of a singers nose and mouth and throat when they have a unique instrumental sound in their vocals, shes a human clarinet. Beautiful voice!!!!!!!
I’ve been obsessed with her since I was a kid. Her voice calms me and Bossa Nova does too! Pure joy❤️
And so today I have just learned that 🎶"The Girl from Ipanema"🎶 is gone @ 83. Another part of my Childhood has passed away 😭. I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG every since I first heard it, in '64 I was 5 years old, I'm 64 now. May God Bless You and May You Rest In Heavenly Peace 🙏🏽✝️🎶🎤❤️🌹🕊️☮️
I remember this from my childhood. Rest in Peace. 😢
RIP 🙏 Astrud Gilberto, thanks for your great contribution to the music 🎵 industry that lives on!
I started listening to this song around last year, and it became one of my favorites, it's so comforting that it makes me think "I don't want to leave here", it somehow conveys that something.
Abril i like your comment , i was 16 years old when this classic came out , i fell in love at first hear ,, Now im 76 years young i still adore this very charming song ,,,kind regards Jane xx
The beauty of simplicity. We can use some of that in 2023.
Rest in peace, Astrud Gilberto, and thanks for the sublime serenity of your voice.
This song is like heaven its so beautiful and quiet and peaceful

Happy 81st birthday to Astrud Gilberto, Astrud's voice with that air of innocence, is just ripe for this Bossa Nova classic from the 60s with Stan Getz on sax, watching the video you really catch that 60s vibe too, co written by Antonio Carlos Jobim
NOBODY did it better!!1 Thank You Astrud!!!
Beautiful song, beautiful music, beautiful woman.
Loved this in the 60’s and love it in 2020.
Richard my name is Jane i was 19 years old when this divine classic came out ,It was instant love at first hear,,,its the most adorable sexy song , ,,I still get cold chills every time i hear it ,,im now 76 years old ,,im happy to say i still get thrills every time i play it lol xx
While Helô inspired the song, it was another Carioca who carried it beyond Rio. Astrud Gilberto was the wife of singing star João Gilberto when she entered an NYC studio in March 1963. João and Jobim were making a record with tenor saxman Stan Getz. The idea of cutting a verse on “Ipanema” in English came up, and Astrud was the only one of the Brazilians who spoke more than phrasebook English.
Astrud’s child-like vocal, devoid of vibrato and singerly mannerisms, was the perfect foil for her husband’s soft bumblebee voice. Jobim tinkled piano. Getz blew a creamy smooth tenor. Four minutes of magic went to tape.
A year later, the song was casting its quiet spell of sea and sand on the charts, washing past the Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” It peaked in mid-June at No. 5, selling over two million copies.
“The Girl From Ipanema” went on to become the second-most recorded popular song in history, behind “Yesterday.” Covered by an A-Z gamut of performers.
Great insight. Thank you!
*Only the 'Beatles' knocked down' the 'Beatles'...in 1964, they out-sold every recording artist(s) COMBINED!*
*At one point, they held the 'Top 3' charting positions according to 'BillBoard' with three different tunes taking turns at the '#1' position*
(Am I discrediting your 'Comment?' No, but to give the impression that "Ipanema'
somehow eclipsed "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is pure fantasy)
@@gerrynightingale9045 You missed the point. Bossa Nova preceded The Beatles And also totally different sound of music from a totally different area of the world. And it was all in Portuguese originally.
@@machtschnell7452 *Okay, 'Rapid Fast' or whomever*
*I wrote nothing that wasn't true, and never stated the 'Beatles created the
'Bossa Nova' nor the 'back-beat patterns'...so what is YOUR 'Point?'*
( *I don't care WHERE it originated from, including Mars, because it's completely immaterial with respect to the 'point made by someone else that the song 'eclipsed sales' from the Beatles, and it DID NOT* )
*You just wanted to 'piss on my comment' and you've FAILED*
@@gerrynightingale9045 whoa! Down, boy......easy now!
As a child, I could feel the timeless, infinite, beautiful, yet current and modern vide of this song.
I got in love with her when I was younger because of her mellow voice, I love basically all her songs
There is something very calming and mesmerizing about her.
...maybe because shes actually clothed and is singing without autotune.
..... from an era when twerking was un-thought of 👍
@@tanyawieczorek7943 Amen
The beauty of Ms. Astrud and this song can never be equaled.
What a classic- RIP Astrud.
don't know which is more beautiful-the singer or the song!!! Be Blessed
this is one of those songs that will be eternal and Astrud girl from Ipanema, you will never be forgotten.
This is one of the most beautifully timeless pieces ever.
I will never argue with that. An all time great classic.

In the mid 60s we would stayed at my grandmother's for the summer in the Va. mountains. I woke up listening to this as my uncle in the next room who was home from the Air force on leave would be playing this song down low and the whole album on his record player. Imagine a cool breeze coming through the window, birds chirping and a rooster crowing in the distance with this playing.
Astud put her imprint on this song. On the occasion of her passing, I read of how her contribution had been minimalized at the time. Any one can hear how she made it her song, how without Astrud it wouldn't be the same song. RIP, Astrud! We love you!
R.I.P voz que acalma o coração,acompanhado de linda canção!!
She didn't want to go onstage & sing...her husband made her...it was an overnight success!! Gin
She appears anxious, as It does look like she hesitates when phrasing and is out of sync with the instrumentals. But it still is great despite that.
