Sergio Mendes dead at 83.

[Reggaemon]

Saw this today. Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 created some great music I still listen to.

The Fool on the Hill, best ever. I believe one of these beautiful ladies (brunette) married famous producer and trumpet player, Herb Alpert.

This Sergio Mendez song conquered the FM stations back in the 70s

As a child in 1966 I saw ads on TV for Brasil '66. I assumed when 1967 came along they would have to change their name.

Rest in Peace, Sergio

Lani Hall from Chicago. Tremendous singer, and yes, she is married to Herb Alpert. RIP, Sergio.

I clearly recall when the group changed its name to "Sergio Mendes and Brazil '77".

I don't recall any other changes but do check.

Some of you may remember hearing this "The Waters of March". A trip back in time

Some music just sounds better in Brasiliero.

I dont know any of these except the remake of Fools On A Hill and lightly knew of his name.
However my wife, born in the Philippines knew all these songs, love him and had his album. She heard me playing the songs posted in here on my desktop.
