sergio mendes and the brazil '66 - scarborough fair

[pontello3]

masterpiece

[sgtlzy]

This band DID have it together, no doubt. Way ahead of their time.

[ivillanueva1001]

Best version !!! Nice tempo and arrangements... Great sounds of the '60s

[ButterflyQueene07]

Gorgeous!

[centralparocker]

I'm heading that way now.

[centralparocker]

I'm heading that way now....

[menopausalguitarist]

Who could dislike this? Peace 2 all

[2chica1]

Lovely just Lovely

[Mrcbs2u]

I absolutely love this version of this song. Brava Sergio!!

[mewill025]

Awesome!



[norcotony1]

Brazil "66 was one of the classiest bands from the 60's.

[twiztajoka69]

amazing song! this has got to be the best version right?

[vaccavo]

@twiztajoka69 unarguably!

[shindousan]

Veeeery authentic!

[Isotec1]

Fantastic

[jeweljenay]

I'm smoking to this song right nowwww!!!

funny enough the "like bar" looks like a freshly sparked blunt, inhale and stop hatin'. Sergio Mendes, you've been a genius for a while now, the rest of us are just catching up ; )

[protomanhasballs]

one of the best movies (and songs) ever made. sergio mendes' rendition of this just destroys the original.

[gisipuyindipu]

psss k friki

[MrNightOwL100]

Beautiful and mysterious sounding. Thank you!

[claude9777]

Aw man! This brings back some memories! I love this version of the song from heavy traffic. thanks for posting!

[TheMrrick58]

I remember this group from when I was very little all the way through high school. I always thought their music was fresh and easy to listen to. This track was played in a lot of places where easy listening was in vogue!!! Thanks for putting this up for our enjoyment!!!!!

[ctdsnark]

Although I'm familiar with Heavy Traffic,I've yet to see it;I sought this out here after hearing it on my cable system's "Easy Listening" channel.

[1ntuitive]

I love it!

Nas & 9th Wonder- Mastermind (God's Stepson)

[Gmancrap]

Heavy traffic.

[gaab123]

awesome

[Johnlindsey289]

Awsome score to a great animated movie, i loved Heavy Traffic since i was 16 back in 97, one of my favorite animated movies. It was the original "South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut".

[setpunk12]

Wow, thank you sooo much for putting this up.

I bought this soundtrack back in about '94 because its so beautiful

And so in contrast with Bakshi's films which are so brutal

[ferroxian]

Hey: I ran the sampler and replaced the lead singer's voice with a COMPOSITE!

Maria Muldare and Aretha Franklin! WOW!!!! These two merged!!! You would NOT believe the sound!!!! .

Now, how 2 upload 2 U-tube!??!

In second place and I mean a CLOSE second, Annie Lennox and Felicity Palmer, Felicity is an Opera singer BUT Annie Lennox has the greatest vocal range of ANY modern non-R&B/ Soul singer in the last 55 years..I kid you NOT!

[ferroxian]

Hey:

Here is the group that typified mega cool Latin Groove in the sixties and NOBODY cared where they came from.

It was like giving your ears a rest without walking into an elevator (elevator music, dig?) or using drugs. This group was TRULY cross cultural hipness!

I wonder where they all are now?

Hummm...I think I will run them through my sampler and redub with new voices...but who could I POSSIBLY use!

Suggestions..? Anyone...?

[ferroxian]

Elevator high and Polar cool,..a sunset on a far away beach and the sexiest woman on earth whispering in your ear...far out...far out...Finky firm baby!!

[bouncebaby07]

[hoosiermomof4]

@bouncebaby07 Did you ever find the song name? Did that song as the opening for marching band in 1987, same lyrics. The whole show was Sergio Mendes songs, but I can't find the song either. Would love to know what it is...

[Beeshitten]

Thank you! Any hope of putting up Bobby Darin's 1966 hit, "If I were a Carpenter"? The 45 rpm was pulled off YT for some reason!!

[bouncebaby07]

[phatdiggity]

thank u soooooo much man

[butterflysuper12]

Very chilled.

[youandyourmusic]

How the hell did 9th wonder sample this? fucken dope.

[JimboUSofA]

The most beautiful single recording ever made...thanks so much for uploading it.

[belitnakoff]

@JimboUSofA I agree. I always thought the Simon and Garfunkel original of Scarborough Fair was kind of ponderous but Sergio's version is so great. I just love his insanely original interpretations of songs

[Beeshitten]

@belitnakoff Simon and Garfunkel did it as a canticle, which is why it sounds so different. I love both versions.

[bfranklin000]

I love Heavy Traffic!

[hardbossa]

@ferroxian The only thing that I can say is that, in my opinion, none of the current singers that I know can't hold a candle to Sergio Mendes' vocalist Lani Hall.

[bodghaya108]

"Are you going to Scarborough Fair; Parsley,sage ,rosemary and thyme.Remember me to the one who lives there. He once was a true love of mine. PRICELESS,TIMELESS,thank you Mr. Sergio Mendes for your genius. Thank's uploader for posting this masterpiece!!!!!

[MrRetroLover]

Jazz will never die

[schuchtern]

This is the most beautiful version of Scarborough Fair I know. Thanks for sharing it with us :-)

[znmstr2012]

If you watch a video of the group the blond is Lt Dish from MASH, Karen Philipp.

[menopausalguitarist]

Love this & the movie!

[mikecronis]

The essential soundtrack to "Heavy Traffic" a movie about urban decay and the darker side of things, the end a glimmer of hope. This version is outstanding.

[twinspirittalker]

I was telling my sister about this version we couldn't find the full version anywhere thanks for sharing...this is the JAM

[flaflaflohay]

Finally someone puts this on Youtube!!! I love this version yet it's MIA just about everywhere. Thanks!!!

[cousiwa09]

I share the sentiment, i thought, fuck it, im gonna type it in and see if someones uploaded it by now!

AND ITS FINALLY HERE!

[paddymiller060]

thx - great song

[Kethizzle]

I could watch Heavy Traffic over and over and over again, and it would blow me away each time.

personally I feel that this is superior to the original, but regardless, in the context of the film it serves as SUCH an appropriate theme.

[BLACKSABBATH0HM]

@Kethizzle The original? You realize this song was made in the 1600's right?

[Kethizzle]

@BLACKSABBATH0HM obviously I speak of RECORDINGS of the song :P they only date back to the 1950s

[BLACKSABBATH0HM]

@Kethizzle I just meant technically there is no recording of the original.

[Kethizzle]

@BLACKSABBATH0HM I think it's safe to say that this sexy bossa nova arrangement is superior, anyway. problem?

[BLACKSABBATH0HM]

@Kethizzle No I agree. This is probably the greatest cover ever! Should have been more popular.

[litavie]

thank you for putting this up!

[jaythemadman2]

your very welcome

[vaccavo]

dunno 'bout any heavy or light traffic. But Sergio Mendes ruled!!!!!
