"Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking and when she passes, each one she passes goes 'ah'!" Claro, me ENCANTA la voz tan delicada de Astrud Gilberto en ingles, but that song, and most of the other great ones, *belong* to Joao, her husband, who sang them all in Portuguese--greatest male singing voice EVER, in my view--so fucking cool, man, that dude is STILL the SHIT, after all these years. NOBODY else is that cool. SINATRA's not that fucking cool. Marvin Frickin' GAYE's not that cool. Serge Gainsbourg's not that fucking cool. OK, maybe Gain-Gain is that cool (this is after all the dude who told Whitney Houston on natl. TV in France that he wanted to fuck her! the dude who dated Bardot, Juliette Greco, Catherine Deneuve, Jane B., etc., etc.), but nobody else! "Olha, que coisa mais linda mais cheia de graca, E ela menina, que vem que passa num doce balanco, caminho do mar" Gives me shivers just thinkin' about that delivery... Tell ya what, Brother K, next trip, you bring the guitar and we'll bust some a these tunes out in the middle of AB and get us some free TJ puddin', if ya know what I'm sayin'! Do you know Agua de Beber, Desafinado, A Felicidade? We'll have a whole set ready and FUCK THE PLACE UP! YEAH!
