I think Kevyn Lettau used to sing for him -- no idea if she did the tunes you're referring to... do you know what albums they're on?

I have 'Mais Que Nada' on a couple of SM CDs at home, so I'll check, but I doubt that the individual singers are credited.

I've never heard of the other tracks, though...

In the 80s, the male voice on Sergio's songs was Joe Pizzulo.  He sang on Sergio's popular early 80s hits 'Never Gonna Let You Go', 'Alibis', and the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics song 'Olympia'

The woman who sung the famous Sergio Mendes Bridges (Travessia) song is Carol Rogers.  She sung it with Sergio Mendes with the Brazil 1988 line-up group.
