| Going out of My Head  performed by  Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66  () 
 
 
 
 
 A wonderful version of “Going out of my head”, which was originally sung by Little Anthony and the Imperials.  It's a great song anyway, with really nice words (well, nice for a Smiths fan like me, anyway: 'there's no reason why...my being shy...should keep us apart...'), but Sergio Mendes also adds an extra musical edge to the chorus, and this really adds a new dimension to the song.  The instrumentation is classic Brasil 66: Percussive jazz piano, group vocals, and a driving bossa nova beat. |
