Classic album from Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66 that includes their enormous hit The Look of Love, written by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (vocals) and originally performed by Dusty Springfield for the film Casino Royale. After performing at the 1968 Oscars, Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66 saw their rendition of the song reach #4 in the U.S. and chart higher than the original. Another Beatles’ cover, With a Little Help from My Friends, is another highlight of this Herb Alpert produced album. It otherwise features Brazilian style jazz, including Gilberto Gil’s Roda, and makes for great listening for fans of bossa nova.
