When I think there is just so much crap in the world, which of course there is, I will sometimes listen to this record. As close to perfection as any popular recording ever made.

I started off tapping my toes, and soon every other part joined in!

Sabemos q acontecem, tb, coincidências musicais. D repente, 1 compositor concebe 1 pt musical semelhante ou até igual à d 1 outro compositor. Sabemos q a legislação considera plágio determinada sequência d notas e outros detalhes. Realmente, as frases iniciais são mt parecidas c/ as de"Nada Além" do compositor, pianista e maestro Custódio Mesquita e do letrista Mário Lago, mas, o desenvolvimento da melodia é muito diferente. No máximo, serviu d "base" p/ a composição brasileira. É o q acho.

A melodia foi QUASE plagiada por Custódio Mesquita e Mário Lago em "Nada além", sucesso na voz de Orlando Silva, em 1938.
