The Girl From Ipanema article, Dangerous Minds The Girl From Ipanema song
Exert from The Guardian (on line):
In the early 1960s, a 17-year-old girl called
Helô Pinheiro would walk past the Veloso bar on the beachfront of
Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, every day....
Although the song has been covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra (her favourite) to Ella Fitzgerald, from Amy Winehouse to Spike Milligan, Helô has received no direct financial benefit. But it has helped to make her famous. Later this year, she will release a biography and judge a competition in Rio to find a new "girl from Ipanema".
She still loves the song. "It's eternal. Whenever I listen, I remember my past, my younger days. Ipanema in 1962 was a great place. You never saw aggression. Everyone wanted to fall in love. It was the spirit of bossa nova – tranquil and romantic. Today, you don't see composers in the bars and restaurants. There isn't the same inspiration."
More to come!!
