Girl from Ipanema
"The Girl from Ipanema" ("Garota de Ipanema") was written in 1962, with music by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Portuguese lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes with English lyrics written later by Norman Gimbel. It won a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1965.
The version performed by Astrud Gilberto, along with João Gilberto and Stan Getz, from the 1963 album Getz/Gilberto, became an international hit, reaching #5 in the U.S., #29 in the UK, and charting highly throughout the world. In 2004, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
