As some of you may remember I first wrote of Astrud Gilberto as the woman who sang the lovely "The Girl From Ipanema" on her husband João Gilberto's album 'Getz/Gilberto' back in 1964. 'Beach Samba' is Astrud's fourth solo album. I love Astrud, she has a wonderful sweet voice and her bossa nova version of Burt Bacharach's "Call Me" is great. Another favourite of mine is "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice", a cute song she sings with her son. The album has some nice slow songs and some songs that make you wanna do the rhumba. I give this album 5/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: Stay, You Didn't Have To Be So Nice, Misty Roses, A Banda (Parade), Oba Oba, I Had The Craziest Dream, Bossa Na Praia (Beach Samba) and Nao Bate O Corocao.
