What do you think happens when you mix thee astounding voice of
Frank Sinatra with the musical artist Antonio Carlos Jobim aka “The Father of Bossa Nova”?
Well…you get 1967’s album “Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim”. This album has Sinatra singing Bossa Nova songs which were made famous 5 years before by Jobim and other Brazilian performers such as Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz. Some of these songs are: “The Girl From Ipanema”, “Corcovado”, and “Meditation”.
The album went on to get nominated for a Grammy the following year. “In November 1967 Sinatra & Jobim teamed up with the legendary Ella Fitzgerald to star in a television special called “A Man and His Music + Ella + Jobim”.
After taking some time to watch numerous clips of this special, I noticed that some tunes as “Going Out Of My Head” & “What Now My Love” were featured!
Dig the performance clip right below kiddas…
