It was June 1964 when I heard Astrud's "Ipanema" blaring repeatedly outside a music store in downtown Pittsburgh. I was a long-haired Beatles freak - struggling like heck to make ANY kind of Lennon-esque rhythm from a severely warped Harmony Stella guitar; but when I heard this song and saw Astrud's photo, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" became "I Wanna Hold HER hand." Last June I had the wonderful blessing of sitting at the table in Rio where Tom and Vinicius penned this timeless tune.THANKS, Kristin!
@BrasileiroTimmo Oh that's so awesome!! Thanks for sharing! :) I bet it had to be pretty cool to hear it first come out as a hit!! I would have loved to have seen it come out as a hit, you're lucky to have gotten to experience that! :D You're welcome, anytime!
is Astrud Gilberto, Babel Gilberto's mom?

Really great song. I wish they hadn't sold it and set it to a detergent commercial!
