Comment:
* - This was the principal theme in the 1959 Portuguese film "Orfeu Negro", by French director Marcel Camus, and one of the first "Bossa Nova" compositions to gain popularity outside Brazil. It helped establish the "Bossa Nova" movement in the late 1950s/ early 1960s, becoming a jazz standard. // Click on Link above, left, to view the original album
