    Yes, too many freaks today. And not the least bit classy. I’m old enough to remember the song, and Stan Getz. I remember her voice. Sometimes it’s not how complex something is, but the simplicity of it that makes it genius. So true in music.
RIP sweet lady…

    Just about wore that album out on my home made record player accompanied by the aroma of Canoe as I prepared to go out on Fri-Sat nights.

    She would allege that she received no money for “The Girl from Ipanema...” That's shocking.
 She was a superb singer.
RIP.

    I used to sneak and play my Dad’s Jobim “Wave” album when he was away.

    Killin’ me. I so loved her music. If anything, that music, since 64 or so when I first heard it, is ‘me’.
