The late Lou Rawls singing the tune "The Girl from Ipanema" a truly distinctive and unique musical adaptation of this well known song.

[@mgpanther81]

So many artist have taken this song out for a ride. No one has ever made it as cloaked in cool as Lou Rawls. He had his own thing and no one could touch the richness of it.

[@Grandtrunk]

A man who had it ALL! Voice, looks, incredible styling. So unique!

[@no1sgotthisname]

Lou, you'll never die while we keep listening to you.

[@alesinayoung362]

This is a very cool version of this beautiful classic. Lou Rawls voice is so smooth & velvety. RIP Mr LR

[@yvettemcphee5116]

I simply adore Lou Rawls! He lives through his timeless singing style and his stage presence. I used to enjoy seeing him break into a little shuffle dance move while singing. So cool! His grace and classy demeanor remain apart of his legacy. Love you, Lou! Yvette M.

[@jeshun7071]

Covered by many, made famous by Astrud Gilberto, this Boss Nova classic is so timeless, Lou Rawls gives it that Jazzier edge as he raps his vocal chords on this to give it a different perspective

[@swt32567]

Style...Class...P'zazz; Lou Rawls owned them all. We truly miss you Lou. Rest Eternal amigo.

[@rievans57]

[@motlatsimonoko4190]

One of those evergreen hits!!! Absolutely classical 👌👌👌

[@spark_6710]

Regretfully I've never been to his concert ! I wish people realized how great & musical vocalist he was !!! My number 1 x'mas song is by him' Christmas is ' ,the coolest x'mas song ever ! He also could sing the most boring song beautifully like Ella could ! Truly best singers can do that ! I love him ! The very best singers were/ are Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Sara Vaughan & Lou Rawls ! You cannot beat them ! Then king of the voice was Nat King Cole !

[@jerryj920]

December 1st: Happy birthday R&B-Jazz-Gospel Singer Louis Allen "Lou" Rawls (1933-2006)-3 x Grammy Award winner: Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. Thank you and God bless. RIP...thanks for the upload, marco27c1. Blessings

[@MrSlimbro]

Lou brings a totally different unique perspective to this song

[@ezrawatkins]

pure genius, he was my man throughout 70s and still is a joy to listen to. He has left us the smooth, velvety voice you don't get anymore. love him

[@todmiller8269]

Ras Lobo hi

[@deborahpatton6157]

I liked Sanatra singing this, but she I heard Mr.Rawls...hands down he's the best. Miss him so much!

[@kenj8uk]

Without a doubt, this is the best version there is.

[@loveandyouwillbeloved8896]

Simple expressed, the greatest interpretation of this song, ever, by any human being, ever.😈!!

[@JazzizCafeLoveJazz]

Wow!!! Love this tune! Thanks for sharing it! En 1966 Lou Rawls grababa su excelente álbum "Live!" en los famosos Capital Studios de Los Angeles, y lo hacía en directo delante de un grupo de invitados que disfrutaron de temas como este "The Girl From Ipanema". Louis Allen Rawls nos dejo en enero de 2006, perdimos una voz que era admirada por el propio Sinatra, pero afortunadamente nos dejo más de 50 álbumes con temas como "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" de 1976 que fue su mayor éxito. #BossaNova #SmoothVocals

[@oldredun]

the greatest version ever . . . no argument accepted . . . definitive !!!

[@michaelhall6178]

I remember listening to the test transmissions for Jazz FM Manchester in the early 1990s; this was one of the songs on the test tape. It's therefore one of the recordings that got me into jazz in the first place.

[@stevehannen]

thanks for puttting this up! my favourite version!

[@fineart10]

Thanks marco27c1... this version is simply outstanding... I´ve never hear this song with Lou... this voice is of collection

[@shemcg7830]

[@analinden8856]

hearing this for the first time, melted my ears and annihilated my perception of ownership of sound and meaning. chad

[@StanBennet]

This is the one person I regret never seeing sing in person.

[@BigSleepyOx]

This is a great version, no doubt! I'll still go with the Getz/Gilbero version as the definitive version and my favorite version, but this Lou Rawls version is fantastic. :)

[@uninoculated]

wow. He tears this up! This man is a badass jazz musician.

[@mayrafuenmayor3602]

Best versión!!❤❤💜💯

[@lisac.gayden4459]

[@mzzakiyyah464]

Mr lou Rose I love him he is the best and love this song Rip...

[@pobbinista]

Zakiyyah Muhammad Rawls baby

[@LukeSniper]

That was awesome! It's such a shame that Rawls isn't better known. He was one of Sinatra's favorites, you'd think that would count for something.

[@jmrodas9]

Good version of this classical Brazilian song. Lou's voice was very good and sounded well on everything he sang. Nice to hear and the piano is very well played also.

[@sophiaadefila2169]

Smoooooooooth

[@santisanti8386]

indeed

[@pobbinista]

My favourite song in the whole world xxx

[@Curtians890]

What a voice ! Clear and Strong, but smooth. Make you fell like a Rendezvous Hmm ! Love, T

[@Jeepster46]

Great job my friend, I've had this compliaiton as an Album, 8 Track, casestte and now on CD. To me one of his best.

[@CaptainFoufeu]

I never liked this song very much, but good ol' Lou delivers it so perfectly. It takes a special singer like Lou Rawls to be able to deliver Garfield the Cat songs to a glory above any other animated TV show songs. God bless this wonderful artist, and may he rest in peace with the Grooviest People ever: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Not to mention every person in Heaven.

[@hiranyawick5297]

When it come to swing - Yes, this is the best version of this lovely Bossanova.

[@Chimbo65]

Man,Lou Swings !! R.I.P Lou Rawls

[@daxrambo7]

Love this version of this grand song, had never heard it, it should have been a major hit for Lou Rawls. Absolutely Jazzed fabulous.

[@cigma]

Wonderful version, from start to finish! Picked up on the "Look at me" Johnny Mathis Misty ending too. Clever and up tempo fun take on a classic.

[@tsb278]

I love this version as well. This version is easy to dance to. So great.

[@markmccune8344]

You go my Brother this is back in the Day 😊

[@marco27c1]

You're welcome. :) I've always loved the Getz & Gilberto version just like you. Then i came across this and fell in love with it too. It's one of those rare cases where a cover is in the same league as the original.
