110% ! And out of all the songs I have loved this is the one song that pops into my head THE MOST OFTEN from out of nowhere when I am just walking along. Mas que nada indeed !
First date I ever took a young lady I met was to see Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 in 1970. Well, it worked and we got married in 1972 and are still married. Thanks, Sergio...
lol...about the same year on a first date with a then- recent acquaintance I took her to see Nancy Wilson and Lou Rawls at the Hollywood Bowl. Soon after another guy took her to see Sergio Mendes...he ended up with her. Thanks a lot, Sergio!
Absolutely loved Sergio and Brazil '66. I grew up with it playing at home when I was really young. My dad was a great piano player and always loved Sergio. RIP beautiful man. Thanks for all the amazing music.
We did the same. Dad his brother and father were musicians. Dad played this album over & over. It's a wonder the needle didn't score all the way through the record. LoL
Yes! The composer is Jorge Ben-- ----He and Sergio used to play together in the 60s out there by Copacabana at Beco das Garrafas- --- Tremendous sixties!
I believe that my Mom has every album they ever released. As a kid she would play their music while she cleaned our house. This brings back such sweet memories from childhood. Excellent music, and such talent. I was indoctrinated to the finest music from the day I was born. I cannot thank my family for the joy they brought me through their love of music 🎵 ❤🎵
As a kid, your mother would clean your house ? Just how old was she ? How the hell old were you, for that matter ?!? (Try this: "When I was a kid, she would play their music while she cleaned the house...")
Before my time, but I liked their sound. I was born in the late 60's. I just found out he passed away at 83. What a legacy he left the world and Brazil! I know Lani and her husband are devastated! They were lifelong pals.
Back in the 60s music scene, Brazilians were the coolest people on the planet- Astrud Gilberto in "The Girl From Ipanema", then Sergio Mendes. The sound was way ahead of its time and still sounds fresh today.
Hey! Brazilian music is one of the things I'm most proud of in my country. Unfortunately, the 1960s and 1970s were particularly sad here in Brazil. There was a lot of repression by the ultra-right dictatorial regime supported and financed by the United States. Great artists like Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa and Elis Regina were severely persecuted and had to flee the country as they could be arrested, tortured or killed. It is with happiness that we live in times of democracy here in Brazil, at the same time that we feel a certain anguish with the radicalization of our society. But I hope the storm ends someday. Greetings from Curitiba, in the south of Brazil.
RIP Sergio Mendes. I never get tired of spinning his Greatest Hits album with Brasil 66. Great stuff. I’ll play it today in his honor. Thanks for the great music Sergio. Rest in peace. ❤
Hi friends, If you give permission, I suggest you Elis Regina songs, like this: ruclips.net/video/uwZYby2ckzo/видео.htmlsi=AcxwcaPYa7rtrZ8g Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!
it is timeless indeed...so great....musicianship, voices, the song itself.....no planned obsolescence like today's music....katy Perry or Ariana Grande will be nothin' but a forgotten joke in 30 years whilst this oldie will be listened worldwide at any time......that's the difference
LOL....I had a smaller version of those earrings that had different replacement colored orbs...hadn't thought about those in years....great memories and such a GREAT song!!!
@@queenbeekeeper That's because today's pop "music" is 100% performance based: it's just to display the self-absorbed emotion of the so-called "artiste" at that moment and serves no lasting purpose. On the other hand, music before 1975 was about the song. Put another way, back then, one had to have solid material and genuine musical skill to get a recording contract. Today, song quality is secondary and musicianship is not really important given all the computer-assist technology -- precisely why it's bland, trite and frankly embarrassing. For example, in the world of black pop, it's hard to imagine that we've descended from Aretha's amazing music in 1968 to the hell-hole depths of rap and hip/hop garbage of the last 35 years.
I clearly remember seeing this on TV live in 1967 I was 13 years old. And remember how sexy, sophisticated and exciting the music and the performers were. This is what set me on the path to a bigger broader appreciation for music and eventually Smooth Jazz.
Lani Hall, who married Herb Alpert, could not speak Portuguese but just learned the lyrics. Brazil 66 were groundbreaking in the late sixties/early seventies. Still one of my favourite numbers.
I was 14 when this song was a hit on WABC radio in NY. I loved it so much that later in my life I printed the lyrics in Portuguese and learned how to sing this phoenetically!
I was a few years older than you.....also lived in NYC...my first intro to Brazilian music...never could carry a tune..music was better way back when !!
They also used to play this song constantly on “Rambling with Gambling” on WWOR in NYC when I was a child. Instilled in me a love of the bossa nova which remains with me now at 61 years old. ❤
Eartha Kitt, along with this iconic band, Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 are the perfect definition of classic elegance. Everyone looks great and the guy with the shakers and tambourine is awesome! My family is Afro-Caribbean and I was brought up with this type of music, International music. I thank my parents for introducing me to this fabulous music.
Yes, so thankful that in my family we listened to many styles of sophisticated music. My ears were spoiled practically from birth and I couldn't stomach much of the music of my teen years (the 80s) preferring much more the songs my elders liked.
I grew up a boomer in Miami. We always had the greatest music in our house. That wonderful music will never get old. When I am in a shit mood, a little bossa nova always lifts my spirits.
Yup. My parents were Haitian and I grew up in the '80s listening to '57- '77 Afro-Carib-Latin-Euro Funk/Jazz/Ballads. This is the soundtrack of my childhood.
The absolutely best Summer of my life. 1967 I was 20 years old and the world was my oyster. Would live forever. Not so. An old man now, reliving my glory days in memories.
1967 was one of my best years! Celebrated my 19th birthday in Vietnam. Fireworks were some of the best I had ever seen. Dinner was Beans and Mother Fers and pound cake.
I was 14 and this music was so glamorous. I have many of their albums and love them still. Yes, my dear, it was a truly fab time. The cars, the fashions the FUTURE! Shame the future didn't work out but, as you say, we have our memories to keep us going. Cheers.
This is so cool. I’ve always loved their sound. Lani Hall, “The Voice”, married Herb Alpert sometime after Brazil 66 signed with his A&M records. They’re still together.
Just heard about the passing of Sergio Mendes......His music was a big part of the soundtrack of my youth. Thank you for your music, Sergio. We are still dancing and listening to it and will be for a long time. Bravo! 👏❤
Mortal Clown Eartha Kitt was a very unique woman in the same way Grace Jones was and not because of their skin colour. They were just unique and no one was ever able to copy them. Icons.
The "Pringles canister" is a percussion instrument called GANZÁ. The musician name is (ou was) José Soares. I' am not certain but he had a nigth club in Rio many years ago.
+Enig Ma, Pringles canister? It's called ah....hey wait you know what? That's gives me an idea....save me some money and just rattle the crumbs around. Hmmm....
Today, September 6, 2024, we (Soul Tracks) are sad to report the passing of the great Sérgio Mendes at age 83. Born in Niterói, Brazil, in 1941, Mendes grew up surrounded by the rhythms of samba and the burgeoning bossa nova scene. As a young pianist, he was drawn to both classical music and jazz, ultimately weaving these influences into his own unique sound. Mendes first gained international attention in the mid-1960s with his group, Brasil ’66. Their breakthrough came with the album Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, featuring the hit single “Mas Que Nada,” which became a global sensation. The group’s lush harmonies, Mendes’ deft piano work, and the Brazilian rhythms captivated audiences worldwide, and they quickly became a staple of the ‘60s pop and jazz scene. (Soul Tracks)
This was a track on the first Ep vinyl disk I ever bought. My lifelong love of Brazilian music was only consolidated by living in Brazil for a few months mainly In Salvador da Bahia where I met some famous musicians such as Luis Melodia and Milton Nascimento. When I came back to Australia I presented a weekly community radio programme on Brazilian music, founded the annual South American Festival of Music and Dance at the Bondi Pavilion and became Social Director of Sydney's own Escola do Samba. I was also fortunate to meet Egberto Gismonti and Nana Vasconcelos when they were performing in Sydney. There is something about Brazilian music that just nourishes my soul and always makes me smile.
Wow! Que incrível! Muito obrigado por divulgar a boa música brasileira aí na Austrália. Fico emocionado e feliz que a nossa cultura tenha te tocado de forma tão profunda. Adoro o Milton Nascimento e fui vê-lo em sua última apresentação ao público no emblemático show da turnê A Última Sessão de Música, em novembro de 2022 no estádio do Mineirão em Belo Horizonte. Foi uma linda experiência. Um abraço daqui da chuvosa cidade de Curitiba, no sul do Brasil.
Great job! Thank you for publicizing Brazilian songs in Australia! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro... Do you know Elis Regina songs? If you give permission, try this samba-jazz sung by her beautiful voice: ruclips.net/video/uwZYby2ckzo/видео.htmlsi=AcxwcaPYa7rtrZ8g

Benny Hill so true now we have "rappers" .what a bunch of stupid people , shit " music" shit people , and the Music" I think they call it that although I am not sure it is music .Sound like noise to me .
@@renegaderunner332 your math skills are incredible.. I did state my age.. but my dad had so much music on "Reel to Reel" that there always something to dance to, and even though old, his recordings were new to me :)
I'm just saying 🤷 how bad music 🎶 is now.i listen too blus jazz classical. Ps.a lot of classical music 🎶 i don't like. One of my top composers is heyden
I'm so glad I was 31 in 1966 with a tape player on my sailboat, and tapes of Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 that I could play as we sailed on Galveston Bay. Sergio and Antonio Carlos Jobim's music are memories that I'll always remember and associate with that great time of my life when I courted my future wife out on the bay, teaching a North Carolina girl from Asheville how to ride the wind while listening to some great new music from Brazil. Thanks Sergio and Antonio
I'd been listening to Sergio's music all summer. I even heard a cover of this at Starbucks. So sad to hear he just passed away. Thank you Sergio!! Rest in Peace.
@Donald...I thought so until an Ugandan busiman introduced me to Evora, a singer from Cabo Verde. One of her back-up people plays a piano in a way I've never heard before.
En esta canción está encerrado todo un país .....PELE , LAS MUJERES HERMOSAS ,SU RITMOS , SU COLOR , SUS PLAYAS , SU RIQUESA , SU MUSICA .....TODO EL EXPLENDOR DE UN GRAN PAIS .....DESDE MÉXICO CON TODO MI CORAZÓN UN ABRAZO A TODOS UDS ....... BENDICIÓN
Yes!!! I was in high school in 1966 and that was such a great era for all kinds of pop music, so much exciting stuff coming out all the time, revolutionary stuff, people really mixing it up!!! That's why I don't lie about my age today. I'm so glad I was young then! But you young folks have utube to find all this great music. We had to go out and buy the records, haha!!
The simple term Pop somehow for me just does not do justice to the beauty of this music. Right? It seems to render it as not as important as it INDEED IS!!
Gente, cadê os brs? A gringaiada toda apreciando esse hino e eu aqui, boiando. Sou só eu que nessa quarentena resolveu vasculhar o youtube procurando o que há de melhor, em termos de música, do nosso país? Manifestem-se para eu me sentir menos sozinha, por favor!
Essa conta de telefone tá no nome do meu filho..mais você não está só..tbm estou curtindo essa preciosidade. Nesse tempo de pandemia só um som desses pra animar rsrs
@@PauloCesar-cy5ls queria que a mesma coisa acontecesse aqui, no nosso país. Como o @juliano Xavier já explanou, hoje quase ninguém escuta música de verdade.
The drumer João Palma, first Sérgio Mendes group, died last day 9 (may) in Rio. He was one of the most important drumers in 60/70' years. He played with Tom Jobim, Walter Wanderley, Herb Alpert, Frank Sinatra e others.
I was only 9 when this came out, but I remember it very, very well. This song was everywhere, as were most of Sergio Mendez's songs. A fabulous time in music. So glad I was alive to hear it when it first came out.
Yes, was also about 9 or 10 years old when they had this song amongst many other tracks constantly playing on the radio. Such a different and distinctive sound. One of the reasons I'm constantly drawn to the latin American sound is the magnificent talents of Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66.
Me encanta esta canción...!! fresca, super contagiosa y alegre... Yo diría q unos de los himnos de Brasil... A pesar de los años sigue tán fresca y contagiante como hace 53 años... Una joya...!! Un fuerte abrazo desde PERÚ...!!
Rest In Peace, Sergio 🙏🏻💔 thank you for all your beautiful music
Thanks Sergio I heard this as a young kid back in the 70’s. RIP sir
Rest in peace Sergio Mendes. I remember your music during my time in Europe 1973, Venezuela 1977 to 1980 and Dominican Republic 1981 to 1985.

It is a great loss for the whole world. My favorite song of his is Like a Lover from 1967. A romantic masterpiece.

Porque ahora todo es perreo, reggaeton y autotune, la música actual es decadente y sin inspiración.

I grew up listening to this as a kid, became a musician, and just listened to this again and am blown away by how great the music is, Incomparable!
I was 4
ME TOO!

Today, September 6, 2024, we (Soul Tracks) are sad to report the passing of the great Sérgio Mendes at age 83. Born in Niterói, Brazil, in 1941, Mendes grew up surrounded by the rhythms of samba and the burgeoning bossa nova scene. As a young pianist, he was drawn to both classical music and jazz, ultimately weaving these influences into his own unique sound. Mendes first gained international attention in the mid-1960s with his group, Brasil ’66. Their breakthrough came with the album Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, featuring the hit single “Mas Que Nada,” which became a global sensation. The group’s lush harmonies, Mendes’ deft piano work, and the Brazilian rhythms captivated audiences worldwide, and they quickly became a staple of the ‘60s pop and jazz scene. (Soul Tracks)
I've just loved this sound for 50+ years... I'll never stop loving this.
Bossa Nova rocks!
One of the best songs... ever. More than fifty years since it was composed and still a great one.
...truly a classic...
Diana Westrup The Amazing Sergio Medes 😁
This song was written and recorded by Jorge Ben in 1963
It was, and remains the most important song in my life.
So Many Stars is also well worth a listen.
I'm old enough to remember Brasil 66 as a new modern style music...
Me too!
I loved it!!!
Damn... you've seen some stuff huh?
Me too. It still makes me feel good. I have to listen to a bit of Brazil every day.
Eartha Kitt's intro is perfect.
Likewise ine a my faves as aid I m 61
I fell in love with my husband to Sergio's music. Still married 45 years later!!!
This was a track on the first Ep vinyl disk I ever bought. My lifelong love of Brazilian music was only consolidated by living in Brazil for a few months mainly In Salvador da Bahia where I met some famous musicians such as Luis Melodia and Milton Nascimento. When I came back to Australia I presented a weekly community radio programme on Brazilian music, founded the annual South American Festival of Music and Dance at the Bondi Pavilion and became Social Director of Sydney's own Escola do Samba. I was also fortunate to meet Egberto Gismonti and Nana Vasconcelos when they were performing in Sydney. There is something about Brazilian music that just nourishes my soul and always makes me smile.
Love Milton Nascimento!
It is the language. Portuguese as sung by its native speakers the Brazilians makes the music.
Wow! Que incrível! Muito obrigado por divulgar a boa música brasileira aí na Austrália. Fico emocionado e feliz que a nossa cultura tenha te tocado de forma tão profunda. Adoro o Milton Nascimento e fui vê-lo em sua última apresentação ao público no emblemático show da turnê A Última Sessão de Música, em novembro de 2022 no estádio do Mineirão em Belo Horizonte. Foi uma linda experiência.
Um abraço daqui da chuvosa cidade de Curitiba, no sul do Brasil.
Great job! Thank you for publicizing Brazilian songs in Australia! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro...
Do you know Elis Regina songs? If you give permission, try this samba-jazz sung by her beautiful voice:

what an exciting life you made for yourself x
I want to spend the rest of my life in 1967

Oh Merle, So thankful you are still here. Your greatness can never be repeated with today's unskilled instant microwave wanna be actors. You have my highest praise and appreciation. Thank
god for TCM movies.
I long for the 60's and 70's and so sad for those long lost days. I can even smell the air and feel the warmth of the sunshine. Love you Ms. Oberon
The actress Merle Oberon passed away in 1979.
+MerleOberon I only spent one year there.

Me too, but I was only 11.
Me too. Well, three months. I grew up listening to Brazil 66 albums, and the clothes on the women fascinated me, especially the giant earrings.
Music. This is what it looks like. This is what it SOUNDS like.
Indeed... With real talent, technology is distinctly secondary in importance.
for sure! It has everything!
Benny Hill so true now we have "rappers" .what a bunch of stupid people , shit " music" shit people , and the Music" I think they call it that although I am not sure it is music .Sound like noise to me .
Actually I think the old instruments used like these sound better then the modern sounds.
Spread the word.......
I'm 56 now... but this tune still moves my feet.... and soul..
Same here @ 64. Dad played this album over & over.
I'm 67.pop music 🎶 now we have Taylor swift 😅😅😅😅
How old were you when this sone came out. You were probably less that 2 years old!
@@renegaderunner332 your math skills are incredible.. I did state my age.. but my dad had so much music on "Reel to Reel" that there always something to dance to, and even though old, his recordings were new to me :)
I'm just saying 🤷 how bad music 🎶 is now.i listen too blus jazz classical. Ps.a lot of classical music 🎶 i don't like. One of my top composers is heyden
The mid-late 60's look for women is still the sexiest and most beautiful to me.
Yes you are right.. also the 80s.. a lot of women with awesome bodies and no surgery..
So right !
Feminism and powerful women right on ! men looked pretty too
Ginger and Mary Ann...
@@ACWerling Yup.
Clearly one of the greatest songs of the 20th century.
i would not go that far!!
check out gill scott heron
Without doubt!!!!!
Great song, but c'mon...
THE BEST SONG OF SERGIO MENSEZ AND GREAT GROUP.
I love Spanish soul music
I'm so glad I was 31 in 1966 with a tape player on my sailboat, and tapes of Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 that I could play as we sailed on Galveston Bay. Sergio and Antonio Carlos Jobim's music are memories that I'll always remember and associate with that great time of my life when I courted my future wife out on the bay, teaching a North Carolina girl from Asheville how to ride the wind while listening to some great new music from Brazil. Thanks Sergio and Antonio
Frank Parker that’s some good living that you just described there
Great story!...must have been amazing, cheers! 😌👏🏻🎼
composer Jorge Ben Jor
You’re 2 years younger than my dad. Must have been great times!!!
Wow .so amazing to hear.ita something i would love to do
RIP Sergio Mendes, what incredible music he made.
This is entertainment. This is rockin' Latin jazz at its finest. This is music!! And Eartha Kitt..... what more can be said?!
You can't say anything more. 65-66-67 Tops it!
beautiful music of sergio mendes & brasil 66. never fade!
bossa nova.
She's prrrrrrfect
JP03 0 , Kitt, was eerily exotic, enough said
This song still cool in 2019!!!
U r so right! Hi from Ukraine!!!
I saw this group when they play in São Paulo. 1968
The drummer was Do Um.
2020 says hi.
This is one of my mother's favorite songs. She's Hispanic though, not Portuguese. *I thought this song was in Spanish. Oops*
Still enjoying the beat, the rhythm...in 2022. Ageless.💓
Also in 2023
R.I.P. Eartha Kitt (1927-2008) and Sergio Mendes (1941-2024).
for me one of the BEST pieces of music EVER!! it makes me happy and forget about everything. ✌OBRIGADO 🙏
So true. Bossa Nova in its entirety, in fact.
The lady on the left married Herb Alpert of the Tijuana Brass fame. They are still married and Herb is in his 80's.
Yes, Lani Hall.
CL Forever she was/is a doll
Love her voice, dress and moves. Classy.
Beautiful lady .. love Herb
Saw them both do this live a few years back. Still totally cool and amazing. Such an honor!
Latin rythym is soo infectious on this timeless classic!
This is called Bossa Nova here in Brazil a mix of jazz and samba.
Philip Anderson : C’est trop vraiment!🌹✌🏾
Not Latin. Brazilian.
I'd been listening to Sergio's music all summer. I even heard a cover of this at Starbucks. So sad to hear he just passed away. Thank you Sergio!! Rest in Peace.
What an absolutely cool group with a great sound and look.
Eartha, Sergio, and 66. It's the 1960,s all three will live in our minds forever.
I find Brazilian Portugese to be the most musical and sensual of languages. This music is amazing!
Couldn't agree more.
Sim
@@mitchellyoung5564 Yes.
@Donald...I thought so until an Ugandan busiman introduced me to Evora, a singer from Cabo Verde. One of her back-up people plays a piano in a way I've never heard before.
@@jayyoung4534 Thanks for the tip.
Descansa en paz y gracias por tu música y la alegría que nos has regalado con tu gran talento.❤
Sergio Mendes,grande divulgador da nossa musica, porque não temos outros como ele????? orgulho brasileiro.......
vc imagina hj em dia tem funk, anitta....sei la, decadencia total.
E isso aí Dalcio, MPB de PRIMEIRÍSSIMA qualidade!!!
Ivan Lins is still going strong ruclips.net/video/XyqSZvg4XAM/видео.html
Si asi es la realidad
La culpa la tiene esta mierda de rap !
The exquisite voice of Lanny Hall added to the beautiful sound of Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66, what a combination.
This beats any of the crap out today. Love this!
Yes Rest in Peace, thanks for the Awesome Music 🙏🏼🎶✝️🕊
My mom taught me how to dance to this album may she rest in peace. Love u mom

It's a good day to be alive
As if Brasil 66 weren't enough, we get an introduction from Eartha Kitt!
I KNOW ❤️
En esta canción está encerrado todo un país .....PELE , LAS MUJERES HERMOSAS ,SU RITMOS , SU COLOR , SUS PLAYAS , SU RIQUESA , SU MUSICA .....TODO EL EXPLENDOR DE UN GRAN PAIS .....DESDE MÉXICO CON TODO MI CORAZÓN UN ABRAZO A TODOS UDS ....... BENDICIÓN
Beautiful comment. Thanks friend. I mean, gracias hermano rsrs
Dios lo tenga en su ceno 🙏🏼 su música durará en la eternidad!
This Percussionist rules! He nearly falls over backwards from the fun he’s having. What a song!
I wish this kind of music would be the bestseller in 2016...
Yes!!! I was in high school in 1966 and that was such a great era for all kinds of pop music, so much exciting stuff coming out all the time, revolutionary stuff, people really mixing it up!!! That's why I don't lie about my age today. I'm so glad I was young then! But you young folks have utube to find all this great music. We had to go out and buy the records, haha!!
The simple term Pop somehow for me just does not do justice to the beauty of this music. Right? It seems to render it as not as important as it INDEED IS!!
So true!!
Gente, cadê os brs?
A gringaiada toda apreciando esse hino e eu aqui, boiando.
Sou só eu que nessa quarentena resolveu vasculhar o youtube procurando o que há de melhor, em termos de música, do nosso país? Manifestem-se para eu me sentir menos sozinha, por favor!
Somos dois kkk
Essa conta de telefone tá no nome do meu filho..mais você não está só..tbm estou curtindo essa preciosidade. Nesse tempo de pandemia só um som desses pra animar rsrs
Essa foi a época da Bossa Nova, um jazz tupiniquim, gringo pira na bossa, até hj.
Tão tudo ouvindo Anitta, funk e outros lixos. São poucos os que curtem música boa de verdade hoje em dia.
@@PauloCesar-cy5ls queria que a mesma coisa acontecesse aqui, no nosso país. Como o @juliano Xavier já explanou, hoje quase ninguém escuta música de verdade.
Rest in peace señor Sergio mendes gracias por la buena música de vose!!
Nós tinhamos representantes de respeito. Parabéns! Viva Brasil!🇧🇷
I freaking love this group, they had such refreshing and energetic sound
Для меня эта песня - визитная карточка Бразилии. Это ритм жизни бразильцев! Их душа!
wow....real music....real talent.....
yes, but lip synced.
i just fell in love with Eartha Kitt from that introduction
Anthony Longobardo She as a passionate woman to say the least.
The drumer João Palma, first Sérgio Mendes group, died last day 9 (may) in Rio. He was one of the most important drumers in 60/70' years. He played with Tom Jobim, Walter Wanderley, Herb Alpert, Frank Sinatra e others.
His short solo towards the end of this, is simply amazing!!!
Thank you!
Great fill at 2:12. Makes it look easy.
Great drummer.
Apt Castelo - Nice tribute to a classic drummer!!!
The dude between the two women...playin' percussion LIKE A BOSS!
Quien Sera?
His name is José Soares. He was playing the pandeiro and the ganzá.
Rest in peace ❤ 🙏. Thank you so much for this beautiful music 🎶. This song is timeless 💜 and world-class!
For all the references to the guy playing the Pringles canister. It's called a Ganza.
I'd do that with a pringles can and probably get that same sound. 😅
#forevermypringlescan
Thanks for the education, isn't it the sound that make the Brazilian music so smooth?
What flavor Pringles is that?
まいどおおきに‼️儲かりまっか？
A worthy flashback to when music made you feel sultry & alive! With Eartha Kit at her prime - Wow! ; )
eartha kit was a beauty .she olso had a stunning sexy sultry voice xxx
jane oughton As I get older, I am increasingly captivated by her projected energy, just endlessly watchable.
I've always been a fan of this wonderful group. When it comes to real good music, Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 are second to NONE!
thestick52. i grew up listening to this group. love them
So true Sergio Mendes is such a great pianist
Sergio Mendes, a Brazilian giant. Rest in peace.
I was only 9 when this came out, but I remember it very, very well. This song was everywhere, as were most of Sergio Mendez's songs. A fabulous time in music. So glad I was alive to hear it when it first came out.
Mendes*
I heard it in 1968 and was 18 ...
still have a vinyl
and love it
I was 9 when this came out too! What wonderful memories it brings back!
Yes, was also about 9 or 10 years old when they had this song amongst many other tracks constantly playing on the radio. Such a different and distinctive sound. One of the reasons I'm constantly drawn to the latin American sound is the magnificent talents of Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66.
I was 14 yrs I SURE remember IT!
I knew we were rockin' when the guy in the middle went for the Pringles can at 0:47!
😂
Underated comment.
Me encanta esta canción...!! fresca, super contagiosa y alegre... Yo diría q unos de los himnos de Brasil... A pesar de los años sigue tán fresca y contagiante como hace 53 años... Una joya...!! Un fuerte abrazo desde PERÚ...!!
Mientras tengamos. Siempre vamos a sentir fresco ese recuerdo de esa música! !!! Saludos desde Venezuela! !!!
Class is permanent...RIP Mr. Mendes....
