Manhã De Carnaval!

Good to hear from you, and thank your for your message. Best regards!

Many thanks for posting this haunting melody. First time I

heard it was by Sarah McCorkle-a beautiful recording.

[varadero1839]

Thank you! The haunting aspect you speak of is very apropos; every time I hear it I'm transported! I'm not familiar with Sarah McCorkle's work. Will be looking for her soon. Great to hear from you!

I was captivated by the movie and the music from the first time I saw it.....when it was first released. This is a true classic. I have the movie on VHS and DVD, the soundtrack on LP and CD. Thank you for posting this, one of the most beautiful songs ever played in a movie or anywhere.

[varadero1839]

I agree wholeheartedly. This melody, and this particular performance are such a showcase for both the composer, and the singer, Ms. Cardozo! Thanks so much for writing!

[varadero1839]

You're so right; you may have thought you were too young to appreciate the beauty of this song, and interpretation, but your "good-ear" says otherwise. Thanks so much for your comment!

i'm 15 and i LOVE this song and bossa nova.

i guess age doesn't matter regarding good music :)

[BigSleepyOx]

Joan Baez' version of this song is very good. Just an FYI. :)

[crazypoulada]

could someone upload a music box version?? It would be beautiful, thank you!!!

[DebbSaxx1]

Varadero1839 Thank you so very much for your compliment! I posted a video response. I recorded my version on the tenor sax. It's truly a soulful song. You're welcome to my channel anytime. :-)

Before there was a Halle Berry, there was Marpessa Dawn. So beautiful, even Bill Cosby had to mention her to Theo on the Cosby Show. Breathtaking... May she rest in peace.

[MrLombreeze]

Best cover ever.

[altsoprano]

Where did all this beautiful singers go? This is real music for the soul ...

La versión "definitiva" de esta canción.-
