| | 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. |
