Beautiful rendering of this Brazilian classic written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Aloysio DeOliveira, with English lyrics by Ray Gilbert. Johnny sang this in the 2006 "Isn't It Romantic" CD, which was nominated that year for a Grammy as Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Johnny shows again how only he can 'caress' a song, as Jay Landis wrote in the liner notes- he also referred to the recording studio where the album was about to be created as "Mathisland". I love that. Mathisland. Enjoy!
Thank you to MART S54 for allowing the use of the nice final shot of Johnny.
