Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Greatest Hits

Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66's hits are pretty much included in this CD. What a wonderful beat and what memories. I highly recommend this CD to anyone wanting a good selection of his early hits. I found all the ones I loved on this CD plus a couple of others that were a joy to discover.

the first 3 songs were as expected but the rest of the CD wouldn't play tried cleaning it still wouldn't play

I love the Bosa Nova sound, and Brazil '66 was the best. I play this CD contantly and never tire of it. Some younger generation music lovers are really starting to listen and appreciate what Sergio Mendes brought us in the sixties. This CD is a nice combination of their music and I highly recommend it.

Listening to this CD transported me to another time and place. With it's calm, smooth and silky sound I forgot I was not on some beach in Brasil 40 years ago sipping on something mild. I absolutely recommend this one.

I have enjoyed Brasil '66 since hearing Fool on the Hill on satellite radio. The group, working with jazz legend Herb Albert, covers a number of easy listening hits, though spicing them up with a Brazilian flair. Check out Fool on the Hill, With A Little Help From My Friends, and Scarborough Fair to see what I mean. Also check out Mais Que Nada, a nice song in Portuguese (you don't need to understand Portuguese to like the song - I only understand a few words). In short, this is a very nice sounding album for people who like soft, easy listening.
