I'm 62 and grew up to Sergio Mendez and Brazil 66. It brought tears of joy of the innocence and purity of the era and sadness of missing those days of youth and happiness and people's loosing their decency and of today's corruption. Thank you for bringing the wonderful music into my life. God bless
Couldn’t agree more … they exude a joy a pleasure that has completely disappeared now. Brought great joy to me to hear this again. Wonderful and thanks
I was 11. I was bored with R&R. After explaining my boredom to the local record store owner she said "check out this album just released by Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66. The album was "Fool on the Hill". I wore that album out from shear love of every song on it. 7 years later I'm immersed in Bossa Nova and Samba and learning to play those genres on guitar from a Brazilian native. Thanks for the soundtrack to my life Sergio. Herb Albert gets honorable mention.
This is the song that introduced me to Sergio Mendes' music in '68 at the age of 11 and have been a fan ever since. Rest in peace and thanks for all the great music.

I want to time travel 😩, I get so tired of the current era I live in. I was born in 1970, I adore and love nostalgia ❤. I am retro and have extreme adoration for the counter culture of the 1960's. I escape through music and movies, and various other platforms. I feel life was simple and easier to understand. I long for this to return, but I have come to the realization it never will.
Queen B im a 60s person , i will adore its music and culture until eternity ,,Clothes , hair styles , make up shoes a great figure were all available , its music was so diverse , what a choice we had ,,, i do believe with all my heart and soul life is what you make it ....i feel Time travel is given to us from You Tube ,,,, And memories xx kind regards xx Jane xx
@@oughtonoughton2634 I thank you so much for your response and insight. I do frequent You Tube alot, so that I can escape 😆. I do adore the 60's and 70's. I am planning,when things are calm again, to visit Asbury and Haight in Sanfrancisco. I want to visit the consignment shops, the art displays, and library. I love the books, music, and movies. I was blessed in 2008, to meet an older Hippie and she gave me her jewelry.❤ I wear it consistently and refuse to part with it 😆.
When I hear this song, I was 18, my girlfriend Jan was 17, and we just started going out, in chicago, she lived down the street from me. I had a 1962 grand prix, it was a great time, we been married 49 years now.
Somewhere someone is smiling the fool of paradox wearing serene smiles sees the world upside down that night without ending the evening mist formed tears from one too many lonely nights leading to unwise judgements too few knew of trying to break up with you and what was over wasn’t the brutal doings were sweeter than a caress the thrill of it happening and the horror of it being an awful mistake collided like intense and conflicting emotions with the illusion of progress the end is judgement day the good tidings sooth the struggles moving forward only the sweetness of a past intimacy remains to reconcile the harsh reality of the present and the eternal quest seeking the idealized essence of being loved and waiting no longer somewhere a fool is smiling.
One of the best comments on here. Sergio and his musicians and gorgeous singers were class with a capital C. His music will forever live on in the people who grew up listening to it in the 60s and 70s. May the great man RIP❤.
Thank you for your service the music was perfect for the time. I know personally I didn't know what was going on I definitely was a fool/ air defense Artillery out of Fort Carson Colorado. 1974❤️
Así es, como dicen por ahí, todo tiempo pasado fue mejor, las buenas y sanas costumbres como que la basura de hoy no le conviene que exista, pero l música antigua lo hacen volver a nacer, gracias.
Ah, when music was music! Not like the screamers and shouters of today. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Sergio Mendes and his contributions to the music world.
I'm 69 years old..I heard that song years ago as kid. I borrowed the album from my sister. I finally gave it back to her. When I went overseas. Beautiful song!! The memories
David i like your comment x i play this version several times a week , its always been special in my heart and memories , these lovely gals do a great version , they sing in unison and sound like one xx long live the 60s era i was their xx Jane x
I'm 66 and listened to these Brazil 66 songs on my hand-held transistor radio while riding my bike in the country. School was out and summer vacation.. and felt totally free ...this music brings back those pleasant memories. Great time to be a kid!
Danny i love your comment , The 60s era gave us such a great choice of diverse music x These beautiful singing women were the ultimate ,, lol Jane x🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🔷
I was a kid in 1967 and The Look Of Love and Fool On The Hill cheered me up. They made the two songs romantic, and actually better. Not to mention Sexy.
QUE MÚSICA LINDA ESSA, QUE BENÇÃO ESTA MÚSICA, FAZ NOS PENSAR NA FELICIDADE, FAZ PENSAR EM DEUS, NA PAZ. TOCA FUNDO EM NÓS, QUE GRAÇA DIVINA POSSO DIZER ASSIM, É UMA PENA QUE NO BRASIL NÃO ESTÁ MAIS MOSTRANDO MÚSICAS LINDAS COMO ESTA NA TV, FM!
I am 61. When I was 4 or 5 I learned how to used my parents stereo. I learned of my love of music also, and I would play my Dad's records one right after another. Burt Bacharach and Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 were my favorites. When I listen to the songs now it brings back really wonderful memories of when I was a kid...
I'm happy I lived in the era that produced this music. And can seek it out now, because I know it exists. Each year less, and less will ever remember. Just an enchanting, and nuanced version of the original. The brass adds just the right touch. I wouldn't change being a teenager and young adult in the 60' thru the 80's for anything. Even without all the technology available today. I would go back in a second. You just had to be their to understand what real freedom we had vs. today. I'm old now, but very content. I really like Beiber, Dua Lipa, and Post Malone. But it's not the same.
I get this incredibly mellow feeling as soon as I hear this - instantly it's warm & sunny, life has no problems............. in short - everything's great !
I think I may have heard this in my youth, but it never really paid attention because I was just a kid. I am so happy that I have rediscovered this. I'm 54
I grewup listening to Chuck Berry, the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks, & Bob Dylan. However, I still loved the recordings of Sergio Mendes & Brazil 76.
Have always loved this music since I was 5or 6 my sisters n brother dancing around like fools to dad’s music as we thought then on an ole Zenith stereo Lp s spinning us dancing fools like kids do miss these days RIP dad
Hey that's these guys ' I heard this stuff I heard my mom listen to this stuff...oh ok..❤❤oh wow ..I makes me feel like I should be falling in love again..that's amazing...😮
I’ve been fortunate to have seen the great Sergio Mendes and Brazil ‘66 three times in concert over the years. I think Lani Hall has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. She is magnificent.
Wow riding with my older brother to the Marine bass in San Diego i MG.sports vehicle. And hearing this song on the top 40 at the time. Pulling into BOBS BIG BOY 🍔 BURGERS. Never again only now a faint memories. For ever thankful.
This is such a lovely song - I don't know if anybody else every covered this Beatle classic but this group did by far the best interpretation - absolutely timeless, sounds just as fresh today as the year it was recorded.
Simple: this is because it was good music. Today, much of what passes for contemporary music sounds much like a washing machine going through its paces. Confucius, the ancient Chinese sage may have been correct. He said you can tell what shape the culture is in by the music they play.
Great music. As much as I hate RUclips for the deliberately false information I see I'm thankful that I can listen to all of these old songs. It's truly amazing that this is all kind of free. As a kid I either waited for the song on the radio or had to go to a store and purchase the records.
I'm 62...when was a kid my oldest sister had a box of albums in the back of her closet....Brazil 66 was amongst them..I was 9 or 10 ..she used to pound me for playing her records.... Worth every second!! Dom Um Romau is one the finest drummers ever
The brunette singer, Lani Hill, is married to Herb Albert and if you have the opportunity to see him tour, she performs with him...nice Chicago girl found by Sergio Mendes singing at an open mike night in a club in Old Town ( I think!) in the 1960s....
I heard this before I ever heard the Beatles' original version. WHN in NYC, the flagship station of the Yankees (which is why I had it on this station originally). Lucky because I got exposed to a lot of great music before I was exposed to rock, including Buono Sera, Mrs. Campbell!

How do you take a Beatles song and actually make it better ? Pure Genius. This song congers up musical memories of my childhood
Its okay DEFINITELY NOT BETTER
Brazil 66 done in 68 it holds up and nearly matches the Original Fool On The Hill what a fine tune
Souless muzak forgotten 2 mins after hearing it..ruined a simple song ,awful.

Travel Well Sergio Mendes 🙌🏿🌄🌄🌄🙌🏿
AS OF TODAY " SEPT 7TH 2024. REST IN ✌️ SERGIO. AND THANK YOU FOR THE LAST 58 YEARS OF ❤️ PRICELESS MEMORIES AND 🎶 MUSIC.
One of the greatest talents of the last 100 years. Became a fan in 1965 and will be until my own demise somewhere ahead.
One of the best comments on here. Sergio and his musicians and gorgeous singers were class with a capital C. His music will forever live on in the people who grew up listening to it in the 60s and 70s. May the great man RIP❤.
A favorite 👍
I'm 80 years old and I'm proud having this record Brasil 66.
Time goes by so fast my brain thinks I am 28 but I'm 80.. so many life times.
I had the eight track !!!
First heard this gem in Vietnam 1967.
Me too.
Me too. Marines 2/3. I was 0331
Glad you all made it back!
Thank you for your service the music was perfect for the time. I know personally I didn't know what was going on I definitely was a fool/ air defense Artillery out of Fort Carson Colorado. 1974❤️
Paradise is happier today. RIP maestro. Thank you for all the joy and happiness your work brought to this planet! 🌹❤🙏🏻
El Paraíso está al ritmo de samba 😊

A gift to the world from Brazil and to California.
Lovely tempo, lovely voices, elegant beauty, and no friggin tattoos. Classic music now.
Gonna be a lot of wrinkly tattoos around in 50 years.

Sergio Dios seguro está escuchando tus hermosas canciones
Undenyably one of the most beautiful, happy songs from my childhood in the 60's. Man, Sergio and the ladies made some beautiful music!
I’m 65 and I saw a wonderful special on PBS. So many memories of my younger year’s. What happened to good music like this?
I'm 66 and feel the same.
I'm 66 and listened to these Brazil 66 songs on my hand-held transistor radio while riding my bike in the country. School was out and summer vacation.. and felt totally free ...this music brings back those pleasant memories. Great time to be a kid!
It's true. I agree with you.
So beautiful , back in the day when real music was played on the radio 📻

Un salute multi ABRIGATO THE HILLOF A FULL
Beattiful song. At the age of 62 I am so happy for these classics songs.
Janis Hansen "Spinning Round" Perfect.
Lani Hall has a sweet, wonderful, delicious voice.
1967. 12 years old. Playing bartender for my parent's friends while this was spinning on the HiFi and feeling oh so sophisticated.
I am 61. When I was 4 or 5 I learned how to used my parents stereo. I learned of my love of music also, and I would play my Dad's records one right after another. Burt Bacharach and Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 were my favorites. When I listen to the songs now it brings back really wonderful memories of when I was a kid...
so important. I am 64 I remember this from 60s, one of the best songs ever, beatles and doors were there. so important.
It brings back wonderful memories of my childhood.
Saddened me to learn of his passing. Doing my own tribute by listening to some personal favorites. 🎶🙏💙
Love the sound of Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66. They lift my spirits.❤
Can't get enough of these sweet '60s girls.
I will be 69 shortly, still love to listen to them in my car. Have seen Lani Hall and Herb Alpert twice, live, at a nearby college.
Lani was so beautiful and an even more beautiful singer, wow, I’m just discovering Brasil ‘66 now, amazing music too.
Mrs. Herb Albert
It seems Lani Hall, as said in the business, had the chops from the start.
Heard this song years and years ago and still in love with it so pure and innocent utter class

Every week a great new song or album ! I don’t like today’s music !
I get this incredibly mellow feeling as soon as I hear this - instantly it's warm & sunny, life has no problems............. in short - everything's great !
Love this song I’m 61 now and first heard this song many many years ago her voice is so pure and good will always love it
yes I remember these songs very well... so nice to hear again Im 63 and never get tired to listen.
I think I may have heard this in my youth, but it never really paid attention because I was just a kid.
I am so happy that I have rediscovered this. I'm 54
What a beautiful time in music , beatlesnumber / brazil 66 . Love and beauty !!
Now that is music.
I grewup listening to Chuck Berry, the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks, & Bob Dylan. However, I still loved the recordings of Sergio Mendes & Brazil 76.
Have always loved this music since I was 5or 6 my sisters n brother dancing around like fools to dad’s music as we thought then on an ole Zenith stereo Lp s spinning us dancing fools like kids do miss these days RIP dad
I was (and still am) in love with the blonde singer.
I miss those days...
Hey that's these guys ' I heard this stuff I heard my mom listen to this stuff...oh ok..❤❤oh wow ..I makes me feel like I should be falling in love again..that's amazing...😮
This beautiful song and fantastic group transforms me back to my youthful years. Outstanding!!
sergio's talent n personality created a wonderful enviroment for lani hall to sing some of thee most beautiful songs of earths history...
I love this song. Remember listening to it in the 60's as a kid. Those were the days when music was incredible!!!
My generation, musically-speaking. Simpler gentler times.
I’ve been fortunate to have seen the great Sergio Mendes and Brazil ‘66 three times in concert over the years. I think Lani Hall has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. She is magnificent.

RIP been listening too Fool On The Hill since yesterday I love it❤❤❤❤❤
The Best cover of you know who Ever!
I was about 5 years old when I started to hear Sergio Mendes on radio back in the Philippines I'm 54 now
This is such a lovely song - I don't know if anybody else every covered this Beatle classic but this group did by far the best interpretation - absolutely timeless, sounds just as fresh today as the year it was recorded.
Two babies are wonderful. ❤❤❤
Thanks to Lani ...
Love their upbeat, energetic style. Chicago is my favorite group and there are tiny elements here that remind me of them . . .
For me..their version is better than by the beatles...the harmony..the blending of voices..
Beautiful ageless music!
spinging round all these years since i was a schoolgirl ...finally i watch them ... thank god
This is actually a song about an old man in Brazil.
The music of the 60's changed a lot for CENTRAL and SOUTH AMERICA FOR LATIN AMERICANS.
Beautiful, Beautiful Legacy Brasil 66, 77, 88 Absolutely Epic!!!!!!!! I'm obsessed - So Classy!!!!!!!!
Siiting in the back of my dads buick electra 225 and listening to this on the 8 track
Memory embedded for life
This version of Fool on the Hill from Sergio Mendez sounds better than the Beatles' version !!!!
Who knew a Steinway D could sound like a Fender Rhodes?
This is priceless, timeless music.
lNo strange riffs, no hysterics, never veering away from the melody, just pure classic latin/pop. Thank you for posting.
absolutely wonderfull......................absolutely wonderfull......
I love their sound. It still sounds right 60 years later.
Those were the good times
Agreed! Have you noticed the crappy crap that they have on tik tok? No human voice on many of them, just sound synthesizers.
they were so excellent.
Yeps
Simple: this is because it was good music. Today, much of what passes for contemporary music sounds much like a washing machine going through its paces. Confucius, the ancient Chinese sage may have been correct. He said you can tell what shape the culture is in by the music they play.
The music of today will never compete with the emotions invoke from this time period. 😪
It is NOT music--just stupid lyrics and noise.
The quintessential version of this timeless song. Way by far the best rendition.
Such a long time ago. Best part of YT.
E ESSAS DUAS MULHERES, QUE MULHERES LINDAS, QUE VOZ LINDA QUE ELAS TEM, SERÁ QUE SÃO BRASILEIRAS?
Sergio & Brasil 66 forever!! Their sound was awesome!!
Two babies are wonderful. ❤❤❤
Even though l was born in 64, l can still remember some of the 60s vibe that lasted till about 1972.
Great music. As much as I hate RUclips for the deliberately false information I see I'm thankful that I can listen to all of these old songs. It's truly amazing that this is all kind of free. As a kid I either waited for the song on the radio or had to go to a store and purchase the records.
I'm 62...when was a kid my oldest sister had a box of albums in the back of her closet....Brazil 66 was amongst them..I was 9 or 10
..she used to pound me for playing her records.... Worth every second!! Dom Um Romau is one the finest drummers ever
The soundtrack of my youth.
Oh Lani You were the best with the great Sergio Mendes God Bless and RIP Sergio!
The brunette singer, Lani Hill, is married to Herb Albert and if you have the opportunity to see him tour, she performs with him...nice Chicago girl found by Sergio Mendes singing at an open mike night in a club in Old Town ( I think!) in the 1960s....
so much class.
I heard this before I ever heard the Beatles' original version. WHN in NYC, the flagship station of the Yankees (which is why I had it on this station originally). Lucky because I got exposed to a lot of great music before I was exposed to rock, including Buono Sera, Mrs. Campbell!
I'm in my 60's , brings back great memories
Epitome of 😎😍
