They did the definitive version of “Fool On The Hill”, IIRC McCartney even said so, himself.

The vocal was by Lani Hall, the wife of Herb Alpert, who produced the song, and introduced Mendes to the song.

My dad had a reel-to-reel tape sampler of all the great A&M artists from that time: Herb Alpert, Sergio Mendes, Jobim, Wes Montgomery. I used to go into the music room and play that tape whenever I could as a kid.

That’s great. Wes Montgomery is the best. I’d love to hear him on that format.
