My Wonderful Father, Melvin, played all these songs on his Fischer Stereo System and it was so Awesome. I was 7 yrs old then and still listen to them at 63, As we speak my 96 yr. Old Father is passing from Alheimerz''s,. All these songs are for you Dad!!! I Love You so much, Dad!!!
Brasil 66 is the sound of my childhood and I'm a white boy from Kentucky! My parents were into Burt Bacharach, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana brass and even though I was in front row seat to watch their crumbling marriage, we had our Zenith console stereo and this music was what soothed my heart and will forever. Lani, I love you so much. You're so beautiful and your voice is my sanity. Thank you!!!!
Like a Lover was the flip side of The Look of Love 45. I started liking Like a Lover because the arrangement, especially the strings is insanely beautiful; also Sergio repeating the lines Loni sang because he sounded a lot like Peter Tork of the Monkees, just slightly off-key, you can't "unhear" that. This song is timeless and it's lyrics describe love perfectly.
Me too! I’m now just turned 60 yo. I’m now an old black lady from upstate NY. My dad was a professional jazz drummer 🥁. These are all the sounds of my childhood: Sergio Mendes/Brazil 66, Burt Bacharach, Herb Alpert, and last, but never least, Antonio Carlos Joabim/Jao Gilberto/Stan Getz because my dad loved this! My then married parents separated in 1976 after about 13 yrs of marriage, but my father still lives on.
Not so much overlooked actually... J Dilla sampled this in '95 for the alternative artist Poe on her song 'fingertips'.... @1:11 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N67n9XszJ7s.htmlfeature=shared
What a wonderful song. My eternal thanks go to a woman named Renata Calani who did a show on the local radio station, once every two weeks. She introduced us to Sergio, Tom, Joāo and all the other Brazilian musicians we had never heard of and who would become the soundtrack of your youth. They just don't make 'em like this anymore.
Maravillosa canción tenia 6 años cuando mi Papá le encantaba Sergio Mendes y yo siempre junto a el y volver a oir estas cancion es volver a sentir a mi amado Papá.
Such a wonderful, beautiful time too believe. It held, promise's that turned up lie's. Oh well. So it is. Still,, thank you Lord for the magical journey.
been listening to sergio mendes & brasil 66 since childhood. now im 24 im yearning that the love contained in this song would hopefully find me someday unconditionally and eternally
Lyrics Like a lover, the morning sun Slowly rises and kisses you awake Your smile is soft and fuzzy As you let it play upon your face Oh, how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you Like a lover, the river wind Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair Upon your cheek it lingers Never having known a sweeter place Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you How I envy a cup that knows your lips Let it be me, my love And a table that feels your fingertips Let it be me, let me be your love Bring an end to the endless days and nights Without you Like a lover, the velvet moon Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep Its light arrives on tiptoe Gently taking you in its embrace Oh, how I dream I might be like the velvet moon to you [Bridge:] Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you How I envy a cup that knows your lips Let it be me, my love And a table that feels your fingertips Let it be me, let me be your love Bring an end to the endless days and nights Without you Like a lover, the velvet moon Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep Its light arrives on tiptoe Gently taking you in its embrace Oh, how I dream I might be like the velvet moon to you
I tripped over that one too. I'm 69 and I still appreciate their expertise in Harmony.... Percussion.....and Melody...they made for a Pretty World 🎵🔈🙂❗🎤
When you want to know a piece of Brazilian music, please refer to this, such as Tom Jobim and the bossa nova. The music Anitta does doesn’t represent our music in its pure form, it’s purely comercial.
I miss watching Pope Benedict XVI saying mass ... on television, you tube...whatever😶 I can't believe I can be this in love with someone as I was and probably still with a...Pontiff😂😂😂😂 He must be in heaven having conversatiobs with God...Jesus the saints...etc
