Like A Lover

[jackassalley1]

what a voice !

[Nectarinasieve]

Absolutely beautiful - loved this song in the '60's & still do.

[sikyot2]

an ageless classic..

[WALNUTS52]

What a great great freakin' tune...gets me every time.I've been listening to this since the day I bought LOOK AROUND in 1969.

[alanbstard4]

who is that lovely girl in the video?

[PVcat1]

What year did this come out?

[darkstriker09]

her name is rizza santos!

[wonderfulhuman161]

I might be like the morning sun to you

[50Emerald]

Ooooh, how I *love* this song! It has a wonderful bossa nova rhythm and great lyrics. It's so sad that we don't have this type of music now -- thank heaven for recordings. If only we could have a resurgence of the beautiful, romantic, lilting, sexy genre of bossa nova music...

[1matrixup]

I remember listening to this in basic training in 68

[hawenoni]

luv the girl...... and the song

[w7fan1]

Refreshingly invigorating!

[WALNUTS52]

[windyoak]

What a beautiful woman.... she's like an angel!

[rodrigo19852008]

gostei do video.

[malosuave]

who is this angel in this video? I am in love with her.

[AllusCats]

@jjustlearn That is the feeling that romantic men and almost all undamaged women may in fact, have at any time in their life...all of their life. Songwriters, poets and musicians experience it over and over.

[thebluesrockers]

so pretty, kinda sped my heart up a bit.

[tagbop]

this such a lovely song Srgio Mendes and

Brasil were such a good group

[WALNUTS52]

Pure genius...from their LOOK AROUND masterpiece...

[gnramon]

Elis Regina made this song famous under the title "Cantador", she wont second place at festival record in 68 , i think .

[homfencing]

Heh...we played this as our closer in the Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps in 1984...a fun chart to play...the arranger had to cut some parts out for time considerations, but it was otherwise pretty straight forward.

[MusicManKevin]

This is from Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66's excellent album LOOK AROUND, which also has their hit "The Look Of Love" and the ballad "So Many Stars". And yes - it's available on CD!

[termpest9]

these girls voice,s are incredible ,,this was real singing from the heart i think its lani hall i dont know the other ,,,help me out ,,

[gnramon]

The Brazilian version is from Elis regina , its called Cantador

[RonRaddio]

What a cutie she is! Who is she?? I love this song.

[master4444t]

She's My Wife.

[pattywells24]

NATALIE COLE SINGS THIS ALSO!!!!

YOU TUBE PEOPLE....PLEASE PUT NATALIE COLE SINGING "LIKE A LOVER". THAT IS VERY PRETTY SONG TOO. THANKS....Neil in California

[57beachbum]

Watched this a dozen times and always brings a smile to my face, thanks!

[seizetheweakened]

these lyrics are pure poetry

[pennymusicMAma]

This is from: Sergio Mendes & Brazil66. He is

Leader, pianist & backround vocals. The singer is Lani Hall.

[mamelody5688]

Nice and complete info about the song. Thanks a lot

[9675775]

What a captivating way to express feelings for one's beloved! The imagery in the lyrics, particularly utilizing similes,creates a vivid picture in the mind. The gentle, rhymic melody absolutely sweeps you off your feet,and the talented vocalist is magnificent in her sterling performance, Her voice is like a summer breeze!

[balatengga]

filipina, nice bOObs!

[dicksometimes]

google-searching: Riza Santos.

[eyecyagirl2]

my father played this music when i was a growing up...my mother was a dj for armed forces radio and we listened to a great cross section of music. i love b66. when i listen to this song it takes me back to when i was a child and things were so simple.

[Shubael1809]

the mid-orchestration of this song is transcendant. Combine that with Lani Hall's incomparable voice and you have a recipe for perfection.

[masantosb]

The authors of the song are Sergio Motta and Edu Lobo (from Brazil), aren't they? Please correct me.

[scotomata]

Well, according to my crib notes here, the personalities responsible for this piece of poetry are Dorival Tostes Caymmi, Nelson Motta, Alan Bergman, and Marilyn Bergman. Two Brazilians, two Americans. Hope that answers your question.

[masantosb]

Dorival and Nelson wrote it (with lyrics in Portuguese). The Bergmans made the lyrics in English.

[scotomata]

Yes, I remember hearing the same. I stand corrected. Thanks for clarifying.

[dicksometimes]

Well, thank you very much for putting this fave up.

[HughJ777]

Who wrote the lyrics? It is so darn beautiful when sung by Lani Hall. I can listen to it over and over and over, unlike 99% of other songs.

[scotomata]

As far as I can tell, these ageless words were penned by the legendary husband-and-wife songwriting team, Alan and Marilyn Bergman.

[infidl]

I've loved this song since first hearing it several years ago. The lyrics are utterly romantic.  You'd never hear such lyrics today. Instead you'd get some kind of trash talk about sex and ho's. We've fallen so far.

[scotomata]

Sadly true. Lyrics no longer have the force of raw poetry behind them. It's as if the world has become inarticulate. Where's the sudden insight, where's the killer turn of phrase?

[PJCoan]

Amen!!! We need to return to the times that nurtured beautiful poetic lyrics and velvet music. We need comfort.

[aoricot]

scotomata, you have a good choice of songs, thanks much for being kind to riza and toher loves incldg. will!

[scotomata]

Thanks. I try to capture her essence (or the essence of the moment, at least) from the piece I choose.

[teacherjed]

Nice song!!! So refreshing.... just like Riza

[scotomata]

Yes, Riza and this song about innocent longing make an excellent fit. Both are lumped and burned in my brain now -- whenever I think of one, I'm reminded of the other.

[teacherjed]

likewise... I'm a jazz lover at heart pero it seems like most of the songs used with their other mv's are RnB oh well
