The story behind this song: Astrud Gilberto was just the wife of singing star João Gilberto when she entered a NYC studio in March 1963. João and Jobim were making a record with tenor saxman Stan Getz. The idea of cutting a verse on “Ipanema” in English came up, and Astrud was the only one of the Brazilians who spoke more than phrasebook English.
Astrud’s child-like vocal, devoid of vibrato and singerly mannerisms, was the perfect foil for her husband’s soft bumblebee voice. Jobim tinkled piano. Getz blew a creamy smooth tenor. Four minutes of magic went to tape.

My dad had a bunch of those albums and played them all the time. It’s the soundtrack of my childhood.

I used to sing that song (Aguas de Marco) all the time. I remember singing the Portuguese lyrics, having no idea what they really were.

Bork is so cute, btw!
