They played this song at the student union at UCLA pretty much 10 times a day, if not more. Brazil 66. I think it was in 1964 that I remember this from.

Loved her voice. She had a long life, I hope it was a good one.

I don't believe Sergio Mendes' "Brazil 66" ever recorded The Girl From Ipanema.
Mendes did record it in '64 (album released in '66) asGarota de Ipanema, with an all star band:
Sérgio Mendes - piano
Art Farmer - flugelhorn
Phil Woods - alto saxophone
Hubert Laws - flute
Antônio Carlos Jobim
Tiao Neto - bass
Chico de Souza - drums

It's one of the very few songs I could listen to, ten times a day or more.
At least, in theory.
My first exposure to it was Getz/Gilberto in '63 or maybe '64.
I bought it for Garota de Ipanema but loved the whole album.
Gilberto is on one other track, Corcovado (Hunchback, LOL).
If I recall correctly, she's not given credit on the album, but her husband is.
Strictly speaking, neither had great singing voices, her's I like more than his, but the sum was greater than the parts.
The vinyl is long gone, quite played out, but I do have the CD.
Surprisingly, it's one of the few instances where I miss the warmth of a 'live' vinyl sound v CD.

Sad, but hardly surprising given the male domination of the music industry.
