[@phillipcraig1489]

[@rafaelramirez3180]

Great to hear Alana 🤗, your father was a very good drummer and had good looks as well 😊👍👍

[@nycsp]

Soooo cool!! Demais!!

[@jennapuhl596]

This music 🎶 kills me!! Makes me miss my dad!! I am 60 and loved this time of my life..

[@peteraustin370]

Yes.!! You look around and suddenly 50 years are gone.!!!... And so many people gone with them including my own dear parents who loved this music.... Where's it all gone.....??!!??

[@markrambo3]

In tears just thinking of what u said...sooo true

[@EmpressOfWyoming58]

The most unique harmonies and sound of the 1960's. Adults loved this. We kids loved it. Our parents had good taste. Between this, Burt Bacharach/Hal David and the artists who recorded their music and Doris Day/James Gardner movies, we learned what real adult romance was and looked forward to growing up.

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

I've always loved this song from the time I was a little boy. Beautiful song!

[@caryldavies7719]

I could listen to these all day every day and never get tired - brilliant.

[@slapmyfunkybass]

it's always nice to listen to real music

[@jeffreymorton2883]

This is the language of real true eternal romance. I'm 60 and none of my friends were listening to this when we were 8 years old, but I was. Over and over. This i believe is what shaped my concept of what true romance and love actually is. Thank you Lani.

[@thenewbull00]

This is such a treasure...folk just loving music, life and each other.

[@madelrosariotellez8716]

Its soo maizin and beautiful

[@mikeg888]

Oh I do love this so! Terrific music...beautiful women! That might be heaven! Saw them as the opening act for Frank Sinatra at Carnagie Hall in NYC. Wonderful!

[@broncolady4ever]

I saw the same concert at Red Rocks Ampitheater in Denver; it was MAGNIFICENT!

[@SaintForeverBlue]

I am so envious I was not there in the audience. Se aventadon. Bravo y brava!

[@Zwinski]

11 year old girl here in Scotland says the same. My Mum put it on for me after it was played at Jazzercise and I love it and the other version:) Aria x

[@jennapuhl596]

All I have to say is wow!!: This was my childhood 😢!!:Thank you!!

[@rgf0618]

Absolutely wonderful ... they opened for Henry Mancini in Lubbock Tx in 1968 or 69 ... great show.

[@stanleygsf]

The three girls: Blue - Marietta Waters, White - Carol Rogers, Red - Gracinha Leporace.

[@pasqualemuzzupappa8596]

I preferJanis Hansen, rip

[@filmcomposer7]

Lani Hall and Herb Alpert are STILL marvelous together! Their latest album features a great back up group with Bill Cantos on piano...Live in LA....I recommend it!!

[@pasqualemuzzupappa1991]

It took Just 10 minutes to Janis Hansen to record this song! She has NEVER got any credits for this!!!Shame!😢Her rendition is unreachable

[@craigjsorensen]

It's good for that seven-year-old boy back in Idaho too. Thanks for posting it. Such memories.

[@Stevieraylittlewing]

I hope and pray, luckysmusic, that that 10 year old girl from Ohio in 1967 learns of your dedication. Very romantic! If I knew her I'd tell her! God bless.

[@psychlyst]

Sergio always had beautiful women out front..but they could definately sing,not just just eye candy!

[@SOLOSAXOHP]

Siempre me encantaron las voces femeninas que utilizo Sergio Mendes , marco una época y estilo !!

[@losascio]

Saw them once at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. OMG, what a cloud to drift on !

[@OverSooll]

is this a mirage, is this real... it actually happened, a golden time when women had grace, when music was divine

[@griffinwebb9904]

I thank my father for exposing me to this music when I was a kid . . . I still enjoy it 30 years later!

[@jahwell1]

those singers are all so beautiful

[@gmonet46]

Gracinha was so close to Lani's look and sound, and did well with Bossa Rio, produced by SM.

[@JerseySurvivor]

Beautiful version. I believe this is Brazil 77. The original artist was Dusty Springfield from the film Casino Royale. Sergio and Brasil 66 performed it on the 1968 Oscar show right after the assasination of Dr. King and made the song their own.

[@edwardlasky2763]

JerseySurvivor I well remember their performance on the night of the Oscars. They stole the show.

[@thenewbull00]

We need to find the Oscar performance!

[@sauquoit13456]

[@jackieguccione94]

Good stage presence by the girls

[@losascio]

They are no amateurs. Stoned professionals !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tv2109]

just perfection- if this song doesn't touch you, you need to see a doctor

[@Pacific_maps]

That's funny!!

[@Magicalmike1]

Burt Bacharach wrote this and lot of other fantastic songs:) covered by many ppl ;)

[@thenewbull00]

Burt!!!

[@camilles2189]

And Hal David wrote the wonderful lyrics.

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

When you hear singers like this, it makes me feel sorry for "today's" singers since they just "think" they can sing. I miss music like this with real singing!

A wonderful classic song by this very talented group ! Thank you for posting :)

[@claitontesch]

awesome

[@AngelOfTheNight2007]

The original lead singers in Sergio Mendes' Brasil '66 ensemble were Lani Hall & Janice Hansen, with the latter performing lead on "The Look of Love" (recorded in 1968). However, the first singer of "The Look of Love" was the great Dusty Springfield (1939-1999), and Messrs. Bacharach and David wrote the song for her, including it on the soundtrack of Casino Royale (1967). Bacharach's melody was inspired by Ursula Andress' acting in an early cut of that film. Mendes' version stood on its own.

[@Afineaddition]

Marietta Waters is so beautiful

[@Ramona817]

we got this vid back!! thank you so much!!

[@14luisalonso]

cutest video description on youtube.

[@caravaggio31]

This line up is after Lani Hall, Dom Um Romão, Karen Phillip Era. The brunette singer in orange is Gracinha Leporace til this day singer of Mendes group, Sergio's wife.

[@jody8526937]

Saw them last week in New York. Gracinha is still the lead vocalist.

[@mikeg888]

Recording is a bit pushed but this is a great song ( esp. the original with Brazil '66). These gals do a nice job! Makes ya wanna dance!

[@bigtrukdon]

I can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around yoooou...

[@Stevieraylittlewing]

Regarding Sergio's version standing on its own, absolutely. Nelson Riddle once wrote that when you arrange you're composing; and Bob Dylan said that whenever he played his All Along The Watchtower he felt as if he was covering Hendrix, Jimi having so much made the song his own. This performance, given he's playing a Yamaha CP80 electric grand, must be from the late 70's or later. I saw Sergio a few years ago - wonderful - his vocalist Dawn Bishop absolutely sublime - highly recommended.

[@ChaplinTheKid1921]

Bossa nova made in the USA by Burt Bacharach... Salute

[@mekemeke73]

great version of this song ever!!!

[@gilliantodd708]

[@2021kyoto]

Sergio Mendes Band should have had more music sung in Portuguese.He said,in an interview,that,"Portuguese is a very musical language."

[@rosyosegueda4208]

OMG Beautiful time......

[@antonioguiang3410]

Marietta Waters got great voice, great and classy moves and so beautiful. I believe she is the most beautiful singer Sergio Mendez ever had. She could pass as a goddess.

[@AlainQuinn]

Why label one of them as “most beautiful”? I personally think Lani is ‘more’ beautiful, but I don’t want to be looking at them like they are dresses in a store so I’m not posting that.. They are people. They’re both beautiful.

[@edgilchrist6374]

I agree 100% . I played in the band when that iteration of the group recorded a concert in Edmonton. In the few days we rehearsed and recorded the gig, I had completely fallen in love with Marietta.❤❤ I got a quick chance to praise her performance and pass on a complement. Just a passing professional moment but I shall never forget her.

[@mary71257]

The 10 yr old girl here in Ohio says thank you very much......

[@MidnightSwinger]

11 years later, this 35 year old in Ohio who was also listening to this music when I was ten reads this comment and smiles. The future of art and culture is in good hands.

Always wanted to see them perform---live. And this is definetely LIVE. The other performance, "MAIS QUE NADA", looks like they were lip-syncing to the aready established recording.

[@2ndEndingVintage]
