When I started dating my wife in 1964 this was one of the very first songs we listened to and bought. She died two weeks ago and I still love her and remember this like it was 1964. God bless you Elisabeth.
Aw rip❤
May Good God Bless you sir, for your faithfulness and love toward your forever soulmate.
That’s a beautiful memory of your time together.

Awwww I am so sorry for you great loss. RIP Elisabeth. 🙏🏻
What a lovely vision she was and a unique and beautiful voice. She had a shy and timid presentation, and still delivered a classic performance. RIP
🕊
😥😥😥
yes,just heard of her passing and playing this in memoriam
A beautiful soul. Rest in peace.
Well said.
Astrud Gilberto died yesterday. Thank you for this beautiful classic, Astrud, your husband Joao, and jazz legend Stan Getz.
Joao, her husband, find her in bed with Stan Getz!
Awww
Joao her husband, and Stan her lover...
Beautiful lady. This song is one of my...

This song gave me comfort as a child being passed from foster parent to foster parent. I heard it on the car radio, I had to be like five or six. Her voice and the smoothness of the song really lifted my mood. RIP.

I feel like somewhere just off camera, James Bond is assassinating a Soviet spy.
HAHAHA
The glamour of those days.

I had the privilege of meeting this lovely lady in New York City in about 1978

Wow!!
That's so cool
Tell us more!
wow! I was an 15 y old teenager back then and still cheeky. ha ha. exellent.

I read Astrude passed away today in the newspapers, at the age of 88.
Her famous song will live on downloads, dvd, cd, cassettes, and records.
RIP.
83
@@luchilds My mistake.
Have a nice day.
Did not know this , RIP and any others in the group .THKS.
I have listen to this song for 55 years. I never tired of it and knowing she passed has shocked me. I never thought it would happen. I know that sounds crazy, but all the times I would play this on You Tube,it never crossed my mine. The women I loved, never met and will always miss.
My father liked this song very much as well as several other songs that Astrud sang.
By coincidence he died on the exact same day that she did, June 5th, 2023. She was 83 and he was 89.
That's beautiful
@@user-vv9np5iq7ngod bless you
Her performance is like the Mona Lisa smile of singing. Distinctive. Understated. Enigmatic. Electrostatic. Exotic. Unforgettable.
@@CymruCreator 💀 💀 LOLLL
Andy Harman, your comment is spot on. Thank you for your words.
It's subtle... but you know it's there for you.
yeah she's an excellent singer, and your comment with those one word sentences is lame. Gay. Pretentious. Frasieresque. Redundant. Upitsownarse.
@@viktorkukuruzovic5332 I'm glad you liked it.
Saw her at a show at Elarios in La Jolla...it was the day Stan Getz died, June 6, 1991...she hadn’t performed The Girl from Impenea for many years but honored Stan that night by performing before a relatively small audience...thrilling. Just as she finished the song, I spoke to a guy sitting right behind me and said damn, that was fantastic....he immediately agreed. Hey, you look a lot like Les Paul! His response, I am Les Paul.
For sure? Wow, what a night for you!!!!
Twilight Zone
I cried, what a wonderful story! I grew up listening to this. Fabulous.
Who is les Paul?
@@FrankIsAlwaysRight are you less paul?
This wonderful woman was the queen of Bossa Nova. A unique voice and caliber all to her own, and a legend to remember and acknowledge for all time.
RIP Astrud Gilberto 🕊️
RIP Astrud.... You created not only a timeless classic, but outsold the Beatles in the year of the Beatles. And your work on Beach Samba, etc. is also great.
Wait….SHE DID?? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I knew this song was famous, but i had no idea she outsold the fab four! Well, atleast its a gorgeous song.
@@Chico-yg5ywMary Wells was another beetle crusher, IIRC.
While this album sold well, it sold 685,000 copies. In 1964, the Beatles sold over 15 million albums. Nobody outsold the Beatles in 1964. Although, the highest selling single album was by Herb Alpert
Five million. No Beatles single sold 5 million in 1964. The 15 million is collective. TGFI outsold the Beatles in 1964 on a single basis @kylabaxter @@kylabaxter
Herb Alpert made it all happen, Getz, Astrud, the Carpenters, Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 (lead singer is his wife), Burt Bacharach, etc. Seeing him later this month, still playing great at 88! .. and so is the wife!@@kylabaxter
Who the hell doesn’t like this song? She’s lovely and Stan Getz is Stan Getz on sax. I mean COME ON!!!
I did have a period of hating it as it was the only tune on the lifts where I used to work. The lifts were slow and going to the conference rooms inevitably led to hours of meetings that we're generally pointless, where I had to take the minutes.
Once I got over all that, I started enjoying it again.
apparently there's 270 morons in the world.
Beautiful Brazilian Jazz from an Iconic🌺Singer of that period.
How lovely.
Totally agree, such a beautiful voice 😊
! 1:31
Timeless classic. Once you hear it, you never forget it.
My late father's favourite song. I think of him whenever I hear this wonderful song.
R.I.P. to this lovely songstress.
She has an unusual and fascinating stage presence.
Anthony i always thought i was this beautiful girl ,,,i was 19 years old when this classic came out ,, now im 76 years old ,,, This is the best song ever xx lol
@@oughtonoughton2634 what a beautiful memory...thank you for sharing ❤
In one of the "Yesterday Today Tribute" videos, they show a BW photo, taken in 1963 or 1964, of a woman who is said to be "the girl from Ipanema." I'm pretty sure the woman in the photo is not the woman shown singing in this video, but I'm going to search for the photo. I must know if maybe it is the same woman! A woman who is that beautiful can change her appearance quite a bit with a change of hairstyle and a little makeup.
She gives me the presence of a Scorpio. Dunno if that’s corny but yeah lol
@@audriiiiroberts3030 29th March Girl. She's 81 now.
Astrud wasn’t supposed to sing this song. It was her husband. Getz discovered she knew English and could sing Great discovery. Lovely woman. Thanks Stan!
it is better with João Gilberto because it is in portuguess
This song was recorded on first take. One of the most commercially successful songs ever. Astrud had never sung professionally prior to the recording - she literally was a shower singer. It rocketed her to instant (and may I say immortal) international star status. Ironically she was quite shy which imo shows in her stage presence. Ironically it makes her even more aloof and sexy...
@@audieconrad8995 me2 ..but I DON'T sound like that in the shower....when I sing I sound like a rat dying.... :))
@@audieconrad8995 The one thing I noticed is that her arms basically just hang at her side with her palms open! I LOVE this song & the version in Portuguese with her husband Joao Gilberto. I'm really surprised she have a more physical movement with her arms & hands to get into the basso nova moment.
I have an original version on an old jazz album that starts with Joao Gilberto singing in Portugese, with a music bridge of the sax and piano and then she sings in English. I read on her that she speaks/spoke 7 languages.
I'm brazilian , 30 now. I listened her voice in the past but had no idea who she was. I'm happy to see such brazilians recognized by their talents abroad. I wish I could have seen these artists. We have no good music being famous today but their legacy is still alive for all serious musicians in Brazil.
So sad to hear that Astrud Gilberto passed away on 5 June 23. I remember as a kid in the 60s, being captivated by her icy-smooth vocals. Astrud, along with Jobim and Getz, introduced me to to the world of Bossa Nova music. Thank you Astrud and may you rest in peace.
I love the simplicity of her stage presence and her voice. There's something very demure and elegant about it.
ITS VERY SOOTHING- AND YES ITS A BEAUTIFUL SUBTLE PERFORMANCE 🎭 😊 ☺ 😌
She is beautiful and has absolutely no stage presence. She might as well be a mannequin. 🥸
HER PERFORMANCE IS SUBTLE AND SUBDUED. THATS HER STYLE. SHES NOT RUNNING AROUND THE STAGE. I THINK ITS QUITETLY POWERFUL. 😄😄😃😇😇😇😇
@@davidwilliamson574 I thought she was singing in her sleep! 😂🤣
@@davidmossholder3610 YES SHES VERY MUNDANE. BUT THE SONG IS CALMING AND ALSO BY THE WAY A JAZZ CLASSIC. ITS BEEN AROUND FOR ALMOST 60 YEARS . STILL SOUNDS GOOD
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah
Oh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes He smiles, but she doesn't see
Oh, but he sees her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see, no she just doesn't see
But she doesn't see, she doesn't see, no she just doesn't see
Thanks May!
She looks straight ahead not at HE
@San Patricio's Space Dolphin Brigada Unfortunately, each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at San Patricio's Space Dolphin Brigada
😅😂🤣😂
Plot twist. She is blind from birth.
She was so pretty and sang that so delicately......we were lucky to live in a time when she did. RIP
She was such a lovely person. Her artistry has been one of it's kind. Do y'all know she wasn't paid anything for this song?
Also, Stan Getz abused her and underpaid her while being on tour with him.
And she became a global sensation thereafter.
Will miss her!
Rip Astrud 💔
She was paid ...120 bucks !!! .... WHOOPEE !!! .
So many have performed this, but Astrid and Stan are still the golden standard.
AstrUd and Stan were reportedly more than that.....
1964. I was 9, listening to AM radio-The Beatles, The Stones, Motown-then this piece of magic floated above it all.
*I was ten...and it was "Okay, I guess" if anyone asked me*

no fruit, nor gave shade' and in my judgment I call that 'NOTHING'*
*I was and am 'still here' (for a bit longer) and that too will amount to nothing more than "I was alive and now I am not"*
@@tomcat3360 *There's no point in feeling 'sorrow' for me, and as for 'touching many lives,' I did that as an Ambulance EMT in Detroit*
*For me personally, my life was far more "Look Back In Anger" now than anything else*
*I 'allowed' the boy I once was to be 'shunted-aside' as I became older, the boy that knew no limits on his abilities, and instead practiced the 'Venial Sins' as 'worthy pursuits' *
*To paraphrase Yeats "I came upon a Man at the side of the Road/ Eating his Heart and Weeping/ and asked/Friend, why do you eat/and he replied/"Because it is bitter/Because it is my Heart"*

A beautiful song sung by a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice...so soothing. RIP
My dad used to sit in our living room in hawaii and serenade my mother .its been almost ten years since moms been gone but this song makes me feel like she never left ♡
That’s lovely sorry for your loss ❤️😔 I’m glad that you have a way of feeling your mother’s presence 🥰
Thank you so much 😌❤ sending positive vibes your way ♡
Love you for that comment!
I sing this to my girl (31 years) except she is from Iloilo, still Beautiful. Sorry for your loss,
Thanks for the Downer.
Just a pure, untrained voice. No pretention or unnecessary frills. The perfect voice for a song about a pretty, natural girl walking by the seashore .
Hello Gail, how are you doing?
The lyrics involve more than just a "pretty girl walking by the seashore".
You Tube screwed this one up. The comment is for "The Girl From Ipanema"
You Tube has problems matching comments with the right site, again. This one's tracking me everywhere!
@@marvinthiessen3454 Seems to be about class divisions to me.
Rest in peace, a true gem in music history.
I absolutely have always loved this song! Thank You Astrud for the great music! Have a peaceful journey 🕊🕊🕊
Rest in Peace to the beautiful Astrud 🕊️
She didn't want to go onstage & sing...her husband made her...it was an overnight success!! Gin
She appears anxious, as It does look like she hesitates when phrasing and is out of sync with the instrumentals. But it still is great despite that.
Astrud Evangelina Weinert. 82 years old and doing well. Sadly, Stan passed away 31 years ago.. But they are forever connected.. A classic Jazz/Bossa Nova song.
I was 11 years old when I saw this. I had already taken several years of piano lessons and had started the French Horn the year before. I was so completely captivated by her voice, the band, and the Bossa Nova sound. I still am.
RIP Astrud Gilberto. A beautiful voice now sings in Heaven.
Her voice is so exotic! I love the way she does this song!!
Florena Avila it’s her Brazilian accent
Nice accent!
Gabrielle Rocha Wow 😳😱😯😮 I had no idea! WORD ! ARNOLD BOURBON AMARAL 😇😀🙃🤣😍😜😭😔😒😂😋❤💕💗💟
SHE IS HOT!!!
No body movement..looks like she's scared to death
This song is like heaven its so beautiful and quiet and peaceful

Bravo Bravo Astrud Gilberto beauty song
Was an immediate classic! RIP Astrud.
She, herself sings like an exotic wind instrument.
So beautiful, so lovely
Hello Glenn, how are you doing?
Definitely the sound of an age. Perfection. Beauty.
I love to play this piece on keyboard. So classic. So delicate. Such a sweet voice. Video even captures her innocent approach with no forced arm placement throughout her performance. Each time I hear this song, it places my mind in a beautiful vision by the sea. Astrud, RIP.

This song is so 60s! You picture James Bond and a beautiful Bond girl having a nice dinner in a fancy hotel with this song playing in the background.
I want a steak and a martini after seeing this.
Caipirinha on the beach...
I could see that
Hold the steak ...🍸🍸
I was just thinking about that. One of the best meals I ever had was a tomato, a steak, and a shot of scotch. Must get that again.
And then a fine cigar.
A friend of mine once said after hearing this singer sing this song - "She's not doing anything! Anybody could sing like her." To which, I wish I had replied: Maybe she IS a complete natural, and her singing is as effortless as it seems. But could YOU do it?? I know I couldn't. Her intonation is perfert, her diction is flawless, her phrasing is right on. This is a perfect performance, and it is live to boot. Go ahead - give it a shot - and you'll find out just how much know-how went into singing this song!
some things look easy, only because the people who do it well MAKE it look easy
Kinda like Karen Carpenter?
I grew up on this era and saw many performances like this. It was not effortless; the timing was relentlessly practiced and flawlessly executed. the difference in the performances today and then was the performers today vs then want to be endlessly fawned on for even being able to come close to that performance.
It's about the tone of her voice, a reediness and clarity it has.
@@TDawg736 Exactly my thoughts. WAY clear.
RIP. What a song. One of my very favorites all my life.
Had to comeback to this and pay tribute. RIP Astrud Gilberto
The coolest and most sultry piece of jazz ever recorded. Her voice is perfect for the melody and style.
Classic beyond description.
Exactly
Not jazz. Bosa Nova. The genre started with this one song.
JD I LOVE YOUR COMMENT ,This fantastic classic belongs in the Hall of Fame ,, The jazz and voice of this darling girl helped to make the classic of the century , never to be repeated ,,,, long live the 60s era i was their xx Jane xx
@@painfulorwhat8872 No need to correct that. Bosa Nova is a sub-genre of jazz.
@@CarbageMan Yes, it is necessary to correct, Jazz and Bossa Nova have their differences, as well as Rap and Trap, for example, and it is important to talk because this is cultural, Bossa Nova is original from Brazil, and even so many people don't even know that second greatest song in history is a Brazilian music genre.
She never misses a note. A very difficult complicated song.
Sounds simple. My son plays guitar and agrees it’s a complicated piece.
Beautiful song, beautiful music, beautiful woman.
R.I.P Astrud, thank you for your most wonderful and beautiful music 🙏🌌
Now, THIS is MUSIC!!! It just doesn’t get any better than Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz!
Ok chief
Credit to Joao Gilberto please, he invented the style, wrote the song, married the girl,... For mine Getz was just freeloading.
@@EJP286CRSKW That's ridiculous. Getz with Jobim contributed significantly to the popularity of Brasilian samba music.
Nobody's spouting obscenities, she's not half naked, she's not gyrating all over the stage- just sheer talent from her and Stan.
@EPA18 I agree. Getz provided the commercialization. Jobim provided the music.
There's music that you like, and then there's art. This is an abstract painting...you can't quite understand how they did it, but you love it. Beautiful.
Miata i like your comment ,,, i was 16 years old when this divine classic came out ,, i was utterly in love at first hear x im now 76 years young ,, my heart is still in love ,,,,cold chills remind me of a very special era the 60s were xx Kind regards Jane xx
Miata i like your comment , This classic is real art , its creation was discovered many decades ago , never to be repeated as wonderful as this young womans version , its a complete work of art ,, this lovely girl gave it her very best , never to be forgotten xx long live the 60s era xxJane xx
@@oughtonoughton2634
Do you say everything twice twice?
This is beautiful but it's definitely not an abstract painting. Far from it. See Ornette Coleman or late John Coltrane for that.
Yes it's art all right.
RIP Astrud Gilberto sing with the angels . The Ipanema girl my favourite song .Brazil 🎵 Perú ❤ Australia 🇦🇺
I think all the guys my age (74) had a crush on her back in the day. no one could say "aaah" like she could.
Saddened to hear of the passing of Joao Gilberto at the weekend..
no way :(
😢
Eu tambem
RIP
88 years old is a full life in my book
fantastic! I remember my Dad playing this all the time !
That voice, that bass, that sax... sometimes the stars just align and there is a perfect song, perfect singer for it, and perfect arrangement.
i feel like i have a young body but a old soul even tho i just discovered this song yesterday i feel like i heard it before in 1963
Vibes eloquence of Gary Burton was equally epic.
I think you said it best. That was the feeling I had. I've always liked this song an she sings it best.
Beautifully stated…
the performers don't get in the way of the pictures playing in my head, emotions of the man and coolness of the woman
Loved this in the 60’s and love it in 2020.
Richard my name is Jane i was 19 years old when this divine classic came out ,It was instant love at first hear,,,its the most adorable sexy song , ,,I still get cold chills every time i hear it ,,im now 76 years old ,,im happy to say i still get thrills every time i play it lol xx
Now im 79 years old and im still adoring the sensual happenings this divine woman give me x lol to all fans Jane x
RIP to this beauty ❤ the voice ,the bouffant!
I remember this from my childhood. Rest in Peace. 😢
My Mum and Dad had this single record way back in time and they played it all the time and danced in the kitchen when Mum was cooking. I love this song! 🎵🎵. I'm 66 now! Xx
i really can’t imagine any other female singer (or anyone for that matter) who can sing this song any better.
It’s probably isn’t as good as this one but it is a close second, the Amy Winehouse one.
Its is a brazilian song, and the best singer of that is Tom jobim, look up there
One of the most covered songs in history. The good singers all sang it well. The beauty of the song is its utter simplicity.
Sarah Vaughan.
@@euumapessoa5427 I respectfully disagree. The best singer for this song was Astrud's ex-husband, João Gilberto, sitting by himself on a simple chair, singing and playing his acoustic guitar. He was able to use his voice and the guitar's sound in a way that the listener wouldn't be able to distinguish between the sound of the instrument from that of his human voice. Tom Jobim was the composer and interpreter of that. He wrote it jointly with his friend, the poet and diplomat Vinicius de Moraes.
NOBODY did it better!!1 Thank You Astrud!!!
What a classic- RIP Astrud.
don't know which is more beautiful-the singer or the song!!! Be Blessed
I completely ADORE this video; it gives such peaceful, vacation vibes!!!!!
Timeless ... Thanks for the music, dearest Astrud Gilberto. Rest in peace ...🙏
RIP😢
What you have given to the world will never die. RIP Astrud
The beauty of simplicity. We can use some of that in 2023.

Great performance but she looks very nervous. Not all 60's music was crazy rock!
@@jackwalker1822 Yes, Mr Walker, there was bossa nova too, and I guess that ASTRUD was nervous because at 60's Singers considered a GREAT RESPOSIBILITY to perform in overseas audiences: technic, talent & perfection that we can not see , since 1985 to this day!!!HAPPY 2022 !!! I'm from Brazil ( Sao Paulo City )!
So timelessly beautiful. Portuguese is such a musical language. Even a small hint of its accent makes English sound more sensual.

Rest in peace Astrud and thanks for the memories.💔
No one has ever been so enchanting singing that song. Her seeming a little shy just amplifies her charm. (And it doesn't hurt that she was a sweet, warm voice with perfect pitch and phrasing.) The words depict a 2nd person narration, but nobody but nobody could BE the girl from Ipanema more than Astrud Gilberto. She embodies that girl by the way she walks and holds herself and sings - all the mannerisms you'd expect in that girl on the beach. Astrud certainly makes me go ahhhh....
Beautiful! Total class and talent all the way! Just the opposite of today's talentless drivel.
I always remember this song randomly and have to listen
RIP a lovely person who exemplifies a time in music and culture. All my love xxx
Remember when the average person wanted to be classy? Wish USA still had that going on.

Not classy.

I thank God that Astrud leaves behind her recordings so that I can continue to enjoy her vocal stylings.
💔 Heart broken that our beloved Astrud Gilberto’s has been silenced. Rest In Peace. 💔

In the mid 60s we would stayed at my grandmother's for the summer in the Va. mountains. I woke up listening to this as my uncle in the next room who was home from the Air force on leave would be playing this song down low and the whole album on his record player. Imagine a cool breeze coming through the window, birds chirping and a rooster crowing in the distance with this playing.
RIP 🙏 Astrud Gilberto, thanks for your great contribution to the music 🎵 industry that lives on!
RIP Astrud Gilberto. This beautiful song will keep your memory alive forever.
R.I.P Astrud.
Her voice is so complementary to the sax and vice versa. Im always fascinated about the shape of the structure of a singers nose and mouth and throat when they have a unique instrumental sound in their vocals, shes a human clarinet. Beautiful voice!!!!!!!
An enduring classic.
Descanse em Pais Rainha do Bossa Nova, com uma voz única e um charme vocal inesquecível. um Tesouro do Patrimônio Cultural Brasil. R.I.P Astrud Gilberto 💔
Aquele comentário brasileiro e astuto que eu procurava.
RIP singing with the rest of greats
She's hardly opening her mouth. A non-singer making a hit for all time. Amazing.
This was the very first sheet music I ever bought. I was 12 in '66, spent hours in the garage learning the piece on the guitar while singing it. Still my favorite song above all others..
As a child, I could feel the timeless, infinite, beautiful, yet current and modern vide of this song.
RIP to one of the most Incredible Beauty’s from Brazil. What a voice.

Happy 81st birthday to Astrud Gilberto, Astrud's voice with that air of innocence, is just ripe for this Bossa Nova classic from the 60s with Stan Getz on sax, watching the video you really catch that 60s vibe too, co written by Antonio Carlos Jobim
One of a kind. God bless Astrud. RIP.
Classic song performed by a beautiful woman. RIP Astrud Gilberto.
🏁♥Ahh, now this IS MUSIC!!! One of "THE BEST" songs I've ever heard & listened to! Yes, I remember when, & then. I dare Anyone To Try To Top This! Simply cannot be done! "Thank You!" "C'ya, CJ-4-JC always 😎
I love Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Buffalo Springfield, The Band...but this takes me back to the 60's perhaps more than anything else...it baffles me that there are some that don't like this. It also makes me long for ballads that had a starring role for the sax (in this case the incomparable Stan Getz).
*Ray Manzarek and Morrison were both 'Cool Jazz' and Sinatra fans, as well as
'Klezmer' and 'Three-Penny Opera'-type music and German 'Sturm und Drang' tunes from the 20's and '30's*
( *Morrison considered the 'Doors' tunes as 'Operatic' rather than 'Pop' and more
'Wagner' than 'Beatles'..."I like songs to tell a story, to mean something than just melody and instruments...I like making people think about what they're hearing from us, whatever it means to them"* )
Bosa Nova days. And my wife and I saw Jimi at Woodstock in 1969...after we got married in March.
While Helô inspired the song, it was another Carioca who carried it beyond Rio. Astrud Gilberto was the wife of singing star João Gilberto when she entered an 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.
A year later, the song was casting its quiet spell of sea and sand on the charts, washing past the Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” It peaked in mid-June at No. 5, selling over two million copies.
“The Girl From Ipanema” went on to become the second-most recorded popular song in history, behind “Yesterday.” Covered by an A-Z gamut of performers.
Great insight. Thank you!
*Only the 'Beatles' knocked down' the 'Beatles'...in 1964, they out-sold every recording artist(s) COMBINED!*
*At one point, they held the 'Top 3' charting positions according to 'BillBoard' with three different tunes taking turns at the '#1' position*
(Am I discrediting your 'Comment?' No, but to give the impression that "Ipanema'
somehow eclipsed "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is pure fantasy)
@@gerrynightingale9045 You missed the point. Bossa Nova preceded The Beatles And also totally different sound of music from a totally different area of the world. And it was all in Portuguese originally.
@@machtschnell7452 *Okay, 'Rapid Fast' or whomever*
*I wrote nothing that wasn't true, and never stated the 'Beatles created the
'Bossa Nova' nor the 'back-beat patterns'...so what is YOUR 'Point?'*
( *I don't care WHERE it originated from, including Mars, because it's completely immaterial with respect to the 'point made by someone else that the song 'eclipsed sales' from the Beatles, and it DID NOT* )
*You just wanted to 'piss on my comment' and you've FAILED*
@@gerrynightingale9045 whoa! Down, boy......easy now!
