Lost In Paradise  performed by  Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66�  (1970)
Composed by Caetano Veloso
Arranged by Thomas W. Scott
From: Brazil
Recommended by konsu [profile] on Wednesday 16th July 2003

This is not so much my favorite B-66' tune as my favorite Gracinha Leporace tune. She sang for Bossa Rio as well as Edu Lobo some rarer solo outings. It's a cover of a great Caetano Veloso tune from an earlier LP. Unfamiliar as I am with the original I can't compare the two, but as far as how out it is for Sergio is without saying. The whole thing sounds really compressed and blissed out, way more soulful than a lot of his earlier stuff, it just drives forward and backward undulating...

Just a beautiful vocal performance, totally solo with chorus overdubs just to fill it out... Gorgeous!

from Stillness (A&M KC 31766), available on CD (A&M Japan)
