Basia - Astrud, The Tonight Show, 1988

[@viffer94]

She’s singing this live, no autotune, no second or third takes, just perfect perfect pitch. Now that’s what I call a real singer.

[@jorgepauleterojas-ie6fu]

Buen..registro...de..tono.......profecional....

[@clarissamoll666]

Ok

[@jbmoore4436]

Absolutely. An actual live performance. Basia is fantastic. I'm still listening today.....

[@toddwiggins1493]

One great vocalist who deserved a LOT more exposure.

[@isabelleisabelle68]

Exactly

[@sweeperdave1]

A great tribute to a wonderful woman. We'll miss Astrud.

[@zoranfriganovic468]

Toliko je pozitivno zarazna umilnim glasom Poljska Diva živila Ona i Bossa...

[@greggry4883]

So many people admire Basia's singing voice but very few know that she also composed this piece with Danny White, wrote the lyrics and co-produced it too. And that's the way almost all her songs were created.

[@dnashpdx]

RIP Astrud. This entire album, Time and Tide, still blows me away, all the way from 1987.

[@JOSEMunoz-tc5rq]

I totally agree the album is awesome I remember buying her album in 1987 I just turned 24 I walked into a record store and they were playing her music i fell in love with it I had to get it lol

[@n7ekg]

Basia is amazingly talented!

[@DavidGlover-s7x]

People should still be talking about Basia, amazing talent.

[@howardcampbell6796]

Imagine this being her intro to America and on the most popular show at the time. No nerves just stepped out and owned the place.❤

[@unomasjp66]

The diva from Poland. Just amazing...

[@marcbolanlives1972]

My Dad had this CD. I took it over and kept it. Bought him another copy a year later. Every song is a gem 🎉💜🇺🇸🥁

[@j.c.9784]

Music is to be shared

[@DrBryanCronin]

One of the nicest and most professional artists with whom I’ve ever had the pleasure of working. A real pro and a total sweetheart. She sent my Polish mother christmas cards (In Polish).

[@Pebo62]

I had heard Basia's "Astrud" on the radio here in the US, I believe, the fall of 1986. I knew Astrud was the "Girl From Ipanema." I was in Leicester, England about 6 months later and noticed that Basia was opening for Billy Ocean. I was outside the concert hall mid-afternoon talking to a woman who was a Billy Ocean groupie. She had photos and knew everyone in his band. Unbeknownst to me, she got word to Basia that there was a guy outside that had come all the way from the US to see her. I'm outside and here she comes with Danny White. What a nice jester. When back in the US I mailed a Patty Austin cassette tape to Basia's fan club. A year later she is touring the US and I get a signed letter and promotional material from her.

[@RebelBuddha1971]

Love hearing this and I’m not surprised at all. In every interview I’ve seen of her she comes across as totally down to earth and kind-just radiates off of her. So nice when a favorite artist (of whom Basia is one of mine) turns out to be a great person, too. I gotta say I’m super jealous you had the opportunity to not only meet her, but work with her as well. In what capacity was your association with her, if you don’t mind me asking?

[@theresahron30]

Basia is my Polish queen! Kocham Cie!

[@RebelBuddha1971]

@@Pebo62 Very cool! So did you get to meet Basia and Danny? Interesting that you sent her some Patti Austin music, as she is up there with Basia as one of my all time favorite female vocalists.

[@Pebo62]

@@RebelBuddha1971 She was very gracious with me a 40 year old acting like a 13 year old teeny bopper. It was all about Astrud Gilberto. She and Basia are close friends of course. I have been listening to Brazilian music since the mid 60s which gave us plenty to talk about but was hard to find until UTube came along.

[@maha77]

One of the absolute best songs to come out of the 80's. This song is timeless, I can loop it for an hour and it never gets old. Brings back so many memories of falling in love in Los Angeles

[@WriterEdmarBernardes]

Brazilian Bossa Nova by Basia the best Bossa singer. She does like Astrud the late Brazilian Bossa Nova singer. Astrud was once married to João Gilberto one of the fathers of Bossa Nova. João Gilberto passed away recently in Rio. His daughter Bebel still singing Bossa Nova.

[@世界冒涜]

私が生きていて良かった　と　思ったのは　この曲と　バーシアに出合った瞬間です❤

[@Luciano-um9ii]

This musical rhythm that she is singing, is a rhythm here in Brazil and we call it Bossa Nova.

[@eduardoalmeida61]

Calma, cara.

[@linosdial]

Basia is a phenomenal singer from Poland. I have had this album for years since it first charted circa 1990. This beautiful song, "Astrud," is a homage to Astrud Gilberto, the phenomenal singer from Brazil who sang the bossa nova song, "The Girl from Ipanema." Frank Sinatra loved the bossa nova sound! Astrud Gilberto just passed away. May she rest in peace eternally.

[@linosdial]

This is 1988

[@marka.5135]

Astrud also was influential to singer/songwriters such as Suzanne Vega, Sade and of course, Basia. Astrud's emotive yet plaintive singing informed all three's approach to their own signature styles. #RIP, Astrud.

[@evol_br]

Im brazilian musician. Certainly Basia sing a kind of sophisticated bossa nova that people here in Brazil dont hear. Its handsome. I love Basia😉😉😉

[@Pebo62]

Here are some of the Brazillian musicians that I listen to. This is not a complete list. Hermeto Pascoal, Yamadu Costa, Marina Lima, Marisa Monte, Itibere Zwarg, Ana Carolina, Trio Paz, Tribalistas, Astor Piazzolla

Nostalgia!! One of my all-time favorite vocalists! And, I think that's Nathan East on bass and Richard Elliott on sax! Royalty.

[@krassimirkirilov2904]

Just thought , how much Astrud would be happy to hear ,that the best of the art continue to be appreciated 30 years later

[@galleryteneuesartnouveau9353]

Her voice even performing live sounds exactly like in her recording in digital just a brilliant world jazz,soul & samba icon..she's also brilliant composer she wrote most of her songs

[@erictateia5089]

I love Basia. She' s an incredible SINGER, she has the GROOVE and a GREAT CLASS... WONDERFUL!

[@eortiz8264]

Timeless genius. Love you Basia.

[@christophergraves6725]

Absolutely a great recording of a great popular singer. It sounds and feels like I am there in the studio with them back in 1988. Where has the sophisticated talent of Basia and a few others like her gone? They have been drowned out by junk since the mid-1990's. We need a revival of the 80's.

[@DrBryanCronin]

Agreed

[@Vejur9000]

My dream 80’s ticket, would have been to see Basia and Swingout Sister, opening for Sade. Bliss.

[@stevemaktinyue]

And don't forget Isabelle Antena

[@RebelBuddha1971]

Love Basia, SOS and of course Sade too. Funny how almost anyone who’s a fan of one is a fan of the other(s). Amazingly crafted, classy music with beautiful women with beautiful voices at the forefront. I’d add Patti Austin & Lisa Stansfield to that ticket as well.

[@howardcampbell6796]

You're asking for too much 😉 Not that I am mad at you , but leave something for the rest of us !!

[@boltonious]

Still should be done!!

[@dreasbn]

singing, pure crystal clear singing on the note and even slight belting comes without any pressure... not yelling still singing, wish some of the current pop stars could show us some skills too... today it's all about belting and yelling... it's a pity..

[@larryheth8023]

perfection!!!

[@joseeduardoescobar]

Basia is the reason I discovered the whole Bossa Nova music and its Artists, back in 1997 I came across to her album London Warsaw New York since then I fell in love with her music and while researching for more of her music I discovered Bossa Nova when found out who was Astrud the title of this song, from the heart ❤ thanks a million Basiafan for sharing this and other videos of this magnificent singer

[@Pebo62]

Brazilian music was almost impossible to find in the mid 60s when I first heard The Girl From Ipanema and Bossa Nova. UTube opened everything up for Brazilian artists.

[@TralfazConstruction]

Her song selections mean so much to her and as a result Basia really puts her 'back' into each and every one of them.

[@evensteve284]

What a great band. Basia is the best!

[@terrencebrown9926]

I remember being introduced to Basia in 89'. Me and my younger sisters would sing to Basia all day. Love her voice

[@jeshkam]

Niesamowite, że wystąpiła u Carsona, Arsenio i u Lettermana. Zrobiła naprawdę oszałamiającą karierę.
