:) Nevertheless, whoever wrote this song, that's a real great one...such amazing, and Reeves rendition is almost one of her best performance (in my humble opinion).
This is her magnificent rendition of the no-less magnificent "Obsession" by Dori Caymmi, Brazilian musician, guitarist, singer, composer and fellow traveler of Tom Jobim.
Actually you are not quite right. The real composer of this song is famous Barry Mann. Dori Caymmi just put some ideas onto this song... I am a great fun of Ms. Reeves and know everything about her...I think this song is the best song that she' s ever sung. just superb!!! =)
this is the bridge of the arrangement of "obsession" from her tribute album to sarah vaughan. i think the song is by milton nascimento and the arrangement by billy childs. but check the sarah vaughan tribute for the full credits.
This is her magnificent rendition of the no-less magnificent "Obsession" by Dori Caymmi, Brazilian musician, guitarist, singer, composer, who has quite a few albums of his own.
The liner notes on Reeves' Sarah Vaughan tribute, The Calling, say that Sarah devoted 3 albums to Brazilian music & on the last, Brazilian Romance, the high point was "Obsession," and I quote : "an intense psychological drama by Dori Caymmi, the Brazilian composer, guitarist, and singer."
Both "The Calling" and Caymmi's own recording of the song ('Dori Caymmi' Electra/Musician 1988) show 'Dori Caymmi, Gilson Peranzetta, Tracy Mann' -in that order- as the authors.
É muito bom esse som, só podia ser brasileiro o compositor Dori Caymmi.

Reeves HAS sung/recorded a Milton Nascimento song, I hope making it more famous, "Bridges" in English and "Travesia" in Portuguese.
