Don Freeman here. This show was 1970 and I was a young keyboardist playing gigs in Philadelphia and New York. In 1974 I started playing with Sister Sledge and we went and performed at the Tokyo Music Festival in the summer of 1975, Astrud Gilberto was also performing at this event. She sounded incredible plus they had a 50 piece orchestra to accompany her. We met and hung out and she told me she lived in Philadelphia so we exchanged numbers and she had me over for dinner a few times then asked if I’d like to be her musical director/ keyboardist for a 3 week tour of Japan. So I put a band together and we went toured Japan in January of 1976 for 3 weeks. We had a great time and she sounded phenomenal as always aside from some initial nervousness which we all get but we also had lots of laughter and humor all the time. After that tour I moved permanently to Los Angeles and wrote songs for many artists and played on their records etc. I came back to Philly from London around 2003 and was able to connect with Astrud at her apartment in Philadelphia which was fantastic. Obrigado Astrud❤❤❤
Hey don , yes she was something !! ...I'm sure you have great memories of her , me being from Philly too , would always hope to bump into her , I knew she lived in a condo overlooking the Delaware river ! ...I was told she was a little withdrawn due to her shyness . But she seemed so down to earth and approachable. I had heard about her dying as I was working in center city , and on my way home (on the L- train ) I remember thinking about her when the train passed the spring garden stop , and those high rise condo's overlooking the river . I thought about her all the way home ..lol. I loved that voice ! ...r.i.p. Ms. Gilberto .
That’s an amazing anecdote…..her hazel eyes were to melt for…I have so many of her lps….listening to them in that era so often on rainy Sunday afternoons in England on my radiogram..
Here is more complete information. First Astrud sings "Garota de Ipanema" (The Girl from Ipanema), followed by a a bit of "Samba de uma Nota Só" (One Note Samba), then "Manhã de Carnaval" (Carnival Morning - theme from Orfeu Negro / Black Orpheus), then "Agua de Beber" (Water to Drink), then back to "The Girl from Ipanema" in English/"Garota de Ipanema" in Portuguese. Great voice and interpretation!
If you didn’t know. Bossa nova means : the new thing! It is still exciting 60 years later. In the 1960’s it seemed that every performer had a bossa nova album.
@Wow, I love slow music. it's a shame without her, and Carmen Miranda Brazilian music would've gotten the exposure it deserved. Her Carmen and Elis were white, but they gave a platform to the Afrobrazilian cultures as well . Songs like Roda for Elis . The way Carmen Miranda the way she dressed was clearly Afro derived . And Astrud with Berimbau and take me to Aruanda .
I realized very early that most Brazilian musicians considered Astrud with kinda disdain. Maybe it's because of her European origins or her affair with Stan Getz. Don't really know... But she was the spacecraft that propulsed Bossa Nova to reach its worldwide audience. She was the right person at the right time in the right place... R. I. P. Astrud...!
The song was released in 1964 and actually written in 1962. Won a Grammy in '65. Ed Sullivan was about 5 years late on this one, but at least we got a nice color version.😎
I can remember hearing this song when I was 4 years old in 1964 and enjoying the scent of my uncle’s girlfriends White Shoulders Perfume. It did something to me back then that I couldn’t explain.
Love it...Cudahy....that smell, the scent...it never leaves us...In '64, I was 8...and fondly remember my mom playing this on our Hi-fi stereo ~ ....man, where'd the time go ...geez ~
While in the Army and stationed in Japan in 1969 I saw her perform at the NCO club there in Tokyo. Even got her autograph & she mentioned to me I looked like Paul McCartney. That was a long time ago but I'll never forget.
Very talented and naturally beautiful. I listen to Brazilian music and singers from long ago. RIP Astrud and Jobim you entertained us and we loved you for it.
Para de ficar diminuindo o nosso país pros gringos, Zé Ruela! Acaba com esse seu complexo de vira-lata. Tá dando margem pra esses caras ficarem fazendo comentários idiotas. Eles também são cheios de problemas e não são melhores que ninguém.
0:01 Dom Um Romão! 1970: The Girl from Ipanema, along with the covers of Scarborough Fair and Fool on the Hill by Brazil '66 played on the radios. Everyone I ever loved was alive. Incredible music and time.
Que linda era a Astrud!!! Uma jovem mulher, cantora e representante da Bossa Nova em todo o mundo. O nosso Brasil, a terra do esquecimento, realmente não mereceu ter você. Agora você foi para as estrelas! 🙏🏻😔✨✨✨🌟
Acker Bilk's favourite piece of fan mail contained the line 'I heard you playing Stranger On The Shore last night. You should get the rough end of a pineapple up you.' Oh to receive such a missive!
You show marked intelligence and sensitivity with that statement.... We bought the Getz/Gilberto LP new.. still listening to her magical in tune voice..she doesn't miss any pitch... wunderbar.
Astrud Gilberto, musa da MPB e da ícone bossa nova. Vc tem um lugar de ouro na música do Brasil e do mundo. Agora, encanta os anjos com sua voz e elegância. Vá em paz, querida!😢🇧🇷
A belated Happy 83rd Birthday Astrud Evangelina Weinert March 29, 1940. Salvador, Bahia, Brazil Her Jazz and Bossa Nova music is legendary. Many more Astrud Gilberto..
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
Обалдеть! Её глаза! Я щас умру от удовольствия. Аструд Жилберто, прости, что не слушал твои песни, когда ты была жива. Всего месяц, как тебя нет с нами.
Was listening to the Getz/Gilberto album on CD last night, with Astrud’s autograph in the booklet (saw her perform at a club in NYC-hard to believe about 25 years ago by now)…an enchanting lady!

Can you imagine what record producers and audio engineers would do to her voice today? They ruin everything now with pitch correction.
Very cool story, thanks for sharing. Sorry for your loss, she was incredible.

Valeu Astrud Gilberto! Perdemos uma grande Cantora.
Descanse em paz!
Perdemos????? Como assim??? Todos nós morremos e ela, deixa sua obra e isso é perda ou ganho????

Descanse em paz Astrud Gilberto 🙏🏽🎧♥️.
An angel with the voice of one
R.I.P. Astrud.
One of my favorite female voices of all time.Smooth sultry..understated..
Like a warm summer breeze
Her singing talents were totally off the Richter Scale. And very beautiful as well.
Beautiful Brazilian music!!!
Good Brazilian music continues to be one of the best in the world. 2:22 Beautiful.
I think that it’s sad that this generation may not know about this music. Up to those of us that do to keep it alive.
Very talented and naturally beautiful. I listen to Brazilian music and singers from long ago. RIP Astrud and Jobim you entertained us and we loved you for it.
1970 and I was 21 years old - she is wearing a hairdo that was called a shag and I wore my hair like that too.
Times when Brasil - my country - was really represented throughout the world.
Now it's only known for off duty cops and motorcycle assassin's lol
You have great Jiu Jitsu. And wonderful cartels!

A Voz da Bossa Nova ecoará para sempre em nossos Corações! Gratidão, Astrud!
Astrud has so many more beautiful songs. Her first solo LP, The Astrud Gilberto Album from 1965, is a mistresspiece.
What a beautiful voice that complements a beautiful woman! Sadly she will be missed!
Que linda era a Astrud!!! Uma jovem mulher, cantora e representante da Bossa Nova em todo o mundo. O nosso Brasil, a terra do esquecimento, realmente não mereceu ter você. Agora você foi para as estrelas! 🙏🏻😔✨✨✨🌟
O mundo inteiro se encantava co a cultura nacional. Orgulho imenso do meu Brasil 🇧🇷
Desde niño ame este género porque me parecía una variante del jazz o algo así pero me trae tanto gusto y nostalgias
This is absolutely stunning. La garota de Ipanema Is that kind of song you can't forget and try to sing when reminds it. Just sublime.
I would love to have a glass of wine with you
@@billquinnett Thank you

Eu adoraria tomar uma pinga com você 😂😂

The whole world was enchanted by the culture of my country.

This wonderful song and Acker Bilk’s Stranger On The Shore are still, IMHO, two of the best songs ever written.

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
Thank you!! 🆒
I always thought it was the grammatically incorrect "she looks straight ahead not at HE" cuz, y'know... it rhymes with sea
