You are 100% correct! Great music. Today the radio is filled with very average artists made out to be something they are not. The music industry has been rubbish for years now.
Estou aqui ao norte das Minas Gerais com meus 72 anos vivenciando um passado maravilhoso desse grande e maravilhoso músico brasileiro e sua banda Sérgio Mendes , muitas saudades de quando realmente faziam músicas melodiosas e letras poéticas.
Same here. This music would play at my parents backyard fondue parties in 66 and 67. I was in grade school but Sis and I loved the cheese fondue and I would sneak a sip of Falstaff beer and spit it out, like yuck!! Fun times!
herb was thee star in our house : lonely bull / whipped cream late 60s era , fantastic stuff . but now adays seeing video and thusly getting to pick out lani's vocals in songs i realize what an angel , wow fantastic ! not to mention sergio's civilized style and great piano
One of the things my father gave me was a love of music, a wide range of music and styles. He's 92 and this album has been a part of his collection for as long as I can remember. I loved it as a teenager and I love it now!! Fantastic album!!
Listening 🎧 to this 🎵🎶 reminds me of my beloved husband Delfin ❤😢 I lost him in 2020 to Colon Cancer. He loved dancing to these songs. So talented suave debonier and sexy. As Dj he always played these wonderful tunes 🎵🎶
😍Love this group!!!! I was in high school when I first heard their album. I'm 72 now and listening to these oldies just makes me smile. Isn't it amazing how we can still remember the lyrics? 🥰
This really can't be called a greatest hits album though without "The Look of Love" and "Like a Lover" it's flip side. Their cover versions like "Scarboro Fair" "Day Tripper" were also getting airplay everywhere because they were so out-of-sight.
Tengo 62 años y este tema MAS QUE NADA lo escuchaba estando en la playa de Cartagena de Chile con mi papi, mi mami y mi hermano entre mis 8 y 10 años, me trae lindos recuerdos de mi infancia donde éramos felices y no lo sabíamos. Gracias por compartir tan linda música.
あ〜、懐かしい！Thank you very much! I had a vinyl but I left it in Japan, so nowhere to be found. This great album brings me back to all the memories from my high-school era! And this was my favorite album! Thanks, again!
When I was in the USN, a shipmate had the album and we played it when were out at sea. I bought this album when I came back from NAM in 1968. Have always been a huge bossa nova and Sergio Mendes fan. !!@@!!
From Spain Sevilla Love this wonderful n AMAZIN music really this music gives me a lot of deep inspiration with past music really for me its so wonderful too Love so much lani halls voice excellent vibes! Never been to US !! Greetings From Spain !
Brings me back to my childhood. I was born in 1959 and remember hearing them on the radio then seeing them on TV when I was 9. Also remember dad playing his Herb Alpert records. Ah those were the days!
I was 12 years old when I first started listening to them and I've love them ever since,so glad to have found these tunes again. Thank you Sergio and Brasil 66. 🎙️🎵🎶🎸🎹🎺🎼👨🎤👩🎤
So true. I became aware of this lively Brazilian sound that was so different from the American pop and rock music of the sixties. Obrigado Sergio for enriching my young life!
Estoy feliz de haber encontrado este disco. Me encantaba cuando apareció yo tenía 10 o 20 años. Qué hermosa música que había entonces! Mucha de la que aparece ahora no creo que pueda llamarse así. Es sólo ruido. La música popular ha degenerado. ( el regatón 🤑🤮
The first concert l ever went to was Sergio Mendes. My mother was so proud of taking us to hear a fellow Brazilian. Greek Theater, Los Angeles, Sept 9, 1968, lol. Loved the concert and music.
That's the voice of Lani Hall, the now wife of Herb Alpert. I was lucky enough to see them both perform in Vancouver on April 8, 2023. Her voice is just as amazing now as then. Herb Alpert told this story that night: He had helped Sergio Mendes get his first break in North America and toured his band together with Brasil '66. With a firm hand he warned his band off the women in Brasil '66 saying it would just lead to ruin for any funny business between his guys and the girls. Not able to follow his own advice, he secretly began dating the lovely young woman with the main female voice of Brasil '66. 4 years later they married. The lesson learned: Never follow your own advice. 😉
I am in my 70’s now. When I was a child in the sixties my friend had beatnik parents. They always played the hipest music. This was played all the time in their house along with the young Barbara Streisand. What wonderful people.
Frankie Vallie sang Going Out of my Head. Dad would joke around and sing going out of my head oven you…and can’t take my eyes off in you on another Frankie Vallie song. Great songs of the 60’s when I was a kid. I was 5 when the Beatles came over. Hearing this album from Brazil 66 is triggering all sorts of memories when I was a kid in the 60’s. Like watching the Ed Sullivan Show every Sunday night hoping to see the mouse puppet Topo Gigio near the end. Loved that little mouse so much I had a hand puppet of him.
Yo tenia 17 años; era 1966 y un amigo me recomendo a Sergio Mendes Brasil 66 y a partir de ese momento entre en el maravilloso mundo de la Bosa nova y la zamba brasilera
In 1970, when the World's Fair was held in Japan, I was shocked to see a concert at the venue. It would be great if the second World Expo was held in Osaka in 2025 and they came to Japan. Last time it was a great success, with moon rocks being exhibited in the American pavilion. There aren't many highlights this time, so I hope they come.
I wasn't born until the following year (1967) and I love this music. My mom's musical tastes lean toward this along with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, and the like. I found her old records when I was a teenager and listened to them and became hooked.
I got hooked on this group by looking at the two girl singers, esp the blonde(s). Then I started listening to the music and I became a fan; still am 50+ yrs later
Eva: Así como a Ud. A mi también acompañaba mi adolescencia y yo la buscaba cada vez que la escuchaba en la radio FM y quería repetición . Sergio y su grupo me capto desde el primer momento que lo escuche fue, es y sigue siendo un flechazo de amor musical.
Vino al Puerto de Veracruz en 1975 y tuve la dicha de verlo con su Brasil 66 y con sus cantantes originales… fue inolvidable ver al maestro Sergio Mendes
Except neither of the two female singers were Brazilian - Americans! Chicago, even. Mind you, Lani Hall the lead singer recorded in three languages - and very well. She ended up marrying Herb Alpert.
Like many of the commenters here, I am a guy in my 70's. I was always taken with this sound and never tired of it. Great arrangements, marvelous voices and a unique blend of bossa nova, cool jazz and a classic 'standards' sound reminiscent of the Sinatra era.
Minha música...Brazilian Music...como amo ouvir Sergio Mendes...volto aos meus 16 Anos...1966...e hoje aos 72 Anos, me sinto Jovem Feliz...que Músicos!!!!...que Músicas...Obrigado pela postagem...aquí em U.S.A, é bem melhor ouvir tudo isso!!!🇱🇷❤👍🤗🤣
Luis, my mom was a true Carioca. She took me to my first concert ever to hear Sergio Mendes at the Greek Theater, Los Angeles, Sept 9, 1968. Wonderful memories. Obrigada.
Wow! What a great mix for how old this is. The dynamics are just so killer and the unison vocals of the 2 female singers is just spectacular and great separation with just enough Microphone Bleed of the mics to keep it interesting sounding. And the great DBX compression and gain is Just Great. Digital just does not sound like this. No Overdubbing that I can detect.
I first heard this album in 1967, I was in the 6th grade. 56 years ago ! Wow ! This music was considered a Latin jazz new wave invasion. Then came Carlos Santana and Latin Rock was born. Sergio Mendez also accompanied The Black Eyed Peas just a few years ago. Amazing. This music is now played in elite circles, as Classic Contemporary. Still enriched with adventure.
Although Brasil 66 was fmous a year earlier, Latin rock came in the late 50s, and covers of Beatles by Latin musicians were heard by 1964- Sergio and others did covers that were more musical than the originals, and this is why you hear them. So, the birth of Latin rock is 20 years earlier than yor assertion, and boss Nove 8 years older. find alzheimer's drug FAST.

Я родился в этом году в семидесятых очень часто по радио в СССР крутили эти мелодии ностальгия жуткая детство просто проплывает перед глазами погружение полное.Спасибо Серхио и коллективу за прекрасную музыку.
MI PROFUNDA ADMIRACION Y RESPETO A SERGIO MENDEZ Y SU BRASIL 66 , SIEMPRE LOS HE ADMIRADO Y DISFRUTADO GRACIAS POR SU MUSICA Y HACERNOS PENSAR EN NUESTRO ´PAIS HERMANO BRAZIL. DESDE LA CIUDAD DE MEXICO PACO HERNANDEZ M
Fool On The Hill is such a great vibe. I discovered it on the radio as a child and loved the mysterious, sensual voices and easy to listen to latin rhythms. I didn't know it was blended with the beatles until later. I play it at dinner events. Timeless.
Estou me sentindo de volta a minha Juventude !🥰 Quando escutava essas pérolas da Bossa Nova que aliás ,era Novíssima , cheia de charme ,chiquérrima , alto astral e mais tudo de bom que existia entre a Terra e o Céu ! 😅😻😃🥳🤩🙏 ❣️
Concordo! Há quem o considere um vendido, um aculturado...absurdo, é um artista extraordinário! Ainda persiste o hábito de falar mal de quem tem sucesso, especialmente se no exterior. Muito triste.
