Some of the best music on the planet came out of Astrid and Gilberto and Jobim. RIP

She also sang “fly Eastern, number one to the sun” in their commercials back in the late ‘60s.

I used to like this song in the 60's and 70's when Bossa Nova was in it's zenith.

this generation only knows it from the recent netflix version of "the girl from ipanema" which was used as a platform for feminaziism , an entire series dedicated to how horrible men are.

kind of a shame that the song got hijacked by feminist netflix propaganda ( but I still bingewatched (cringewatched) the entire series

I have ALWAYS loved that tune. Always. Stan Getz did a great cover of it with Joao Gilberto...my favorite version:

Me too. It is such an evocative song. Makes you feel a different place, a different time.

They can tie me down on a sandhill on that beach, cover me with honey, and invite the ants, but...I ain’t watching that. Never.

She was singing the song as a demo, her vocals are never intended to be released. Jaoa Gilberto's daughter by another wife, Babel is a good singer.

It would be fitting if her funeral cortege included a trip on an elevator.

RIP
