 breath of life » GETZ/GILBERTO / “The Girl From Ipanema”

 The Girl from Ipanema - Who performed it? - Q&A   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Producer Creed Taylor loved one of Jobim’s songs, originally sung all in Portuguese by Gilberto: "Garota de Ipanema".  Taylor felt it needed English lyrics, and João’s wife, Astrud, was at the session.
Nonetheless, she augmented João’s vocals, and although she sang a bit off-key at times, her voice was captivating (but not enough though to get her any credit on the album).
However, an edited version of the album cut (with João’s Portuguese introduction taken off) was released as the single "The Girl From Ipanema" over a year later, with Astrud getting second billing to Getz on the label.
