I saw in singing in Hollywood back in the 80s. A good band
with her. I like her husband, Joao Gilberto. Had an album of
his called Amoroso. Now have it in CD. Very good. I read
that he was supposed to sing the Girl From Ipanema first
but declined because he didn't speak English. True or
false I do not know, but I read it. On the Amoroso album
he was backed the Claus Ogerman Orchestra and sang
in a variety of languages including English. I think he
did it phonetically. I like the album. Astrid is dead but
her hubby's album lives on. And so do I.
