What do Perry Como, Miles Davis, and James Galway have in common? Theyve all covered Jobims Corcovado -- only Ipanema and One Note Samba have been recorded more often. This version features the exquisite blending of Astrud and Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz and Jobim on a sensuous melody. This winning formula, repeated throughout the LP, kept Getz/Gilberto on the charts for 96 weeks; nearly 40 years later, the album entered the Grammy Hall of Fame. Also known as Quiet Nights, this track was the epitome of relaxed bossa nova cool.
