They played this song at the student union at UCLA pretty much 10 times a day, if not more.
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.
