The Best Of Astrud Gilberto

Astrud Gilberto started her career by singing on two tracks on the influential 1963 album “Getz/Gilberto” featuring João Gilberto, Stan Getz, and Antônio Carlos Jobim, despite having never sung professionally before this recording. The 1964 single version of “The Girl From Ipanema”, taken from the 1963 album, omitted the Portuguese lyrics sung by João Gilberto, and established Astrud Gilberto as a bossa nova singer. It sold over one million copies and her career took off. For sale here is a Dutch copy of her greatest hits album on Verve Records, including “The Girl From Ipanema”, “One Note Samba”, “Here’s That Rainy Day”, “Agua De Beber”, “Beach Samba” and a lot more samba classics. Great record, in good shape!
