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

Well, Getz was a bad boy from day one, but wow, he had a fabulous saxophone tone.

Gilberto was not a fan, regarded him as an intruding gringo. But the royalties were really good.

FYI: Girl from Ipanema is the 15th most covered song of all time with 724 covers. source. Getz and Gilberto’s is my favorite.

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.
