https://youtube/watch?v=s-ausDJmvZg The Astrud Gilberto Album is the first album recorded by Astrud Gilberto, hot off the success from guesting on the landmark jazz album Getz/Gilberto (1964), a collaborative project between tenor saxophonist and her husband, the famous Brazilian guitarist/bossa nova pioneer João Gilberto. Although, Gilberto had never performed professionally, she was requested by her husband to sing in the English verses written for the albums tracks. One of these cuts was The Girl from Ipanema, a song that would forever be immortalized by her voice, and a rendition that would be the definitive recording of that song. The single sold over one million copies and helped established her as a bossa nova darling and a pop culture superstar. The rest, we can say, is history.
