The problem I have with Sergio Mendes is that in several cases, "he" has released records where somebody else is singing an AWESOME vocal performance, yet the vocalist gets no billing other than in liner notes.End Quote

Ha !

Sounds like Mike Oldfield's "Moonlight Shadow".  If I had been Maggie Reilly I would have been severely cheesed off !  :D

What was that love song he sang in 1981? I forgot.That was a good song. ;D

That's just it.  HE didn't sing it.  >:(

The song was "Never gonna Let You Go"

It was sung by Joe Pizzulo and Leza Miller.  :D

It was his "group" but the vocalists rarely, if ever got any credit when the song was played on the air.  I think that is crappy.

Now Santana is a class act.  When he does songs with a guest vocalist (Carlos rarely sings lead), he gives full "billing" to the vocalist, like when Rob Thomas or Michelle Branch sang those tunes with his group.

I have 6 of their albums on vinyl......and I'm only 25!  I love Sergio Mendes....that guy and his group are cool as hell.  I have two of the Brazil '66 records and Brazil '77.  I have some others but I can't remember right off.  Just letting you know that they are awsome.

I wonder if he did a Brazil '00 ?   :P

Brazil rocks.  8)  I was down there a couple of times in 2002 and it is a nice country.

Major soft drink down there isn't Coke, though, Hairspray, so you might feel disoriented down there.  The big drink in Brazil is Guarana Antarctica.  I guzzled that stuff like it was water.  (And good thing too since the water down there will give you the runs)
