While going through my collection I found a CD collection called The Bossa Nova Years by Stan Getz featuring Astrud Gilberto.
Gave it a spin as I'd never played it. Kinda pricey but Getz/Gilberto and others are available as single CDs for cheap.

In the 60s I thought Astrud along with Walter Wanderley were the greatest.

Further rummaging and up popped The Best of Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65!

The singer on Brasil 65 is Wanda de Sah and she is even better than Astrud!

If you want some primo bossa nova, The Best of Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65 is available on CD for a few bucks from Amazon on the Curb label.

DRG (Capitol) just released a two-fer CD of this album and Softly by Wanda de Sah. About $12 on Amazon.

Are Astrud and Wanda songbirds? Of course.

That's what the glitterati were listening to in the mid 60s.

I recall seeing Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto perform in a corny 1964 flick called Get Yourself a College Girl.

There is such a wealth of music available and due to the greatness of this Tribe....the recession can't touch it because we share...ideas and finds.
