Once saw Cassandra sing three times in one week. I was smitten…and still am.
Very nice indeed, but it’s not Bebel Gilberto’s song, she was just one of many artists to record it. It was written by Antonio Carlos Jobim, one of his many precious gems. Thanks for sharing this.
In which key is this version of song?
