When I was growing up, my Dad frequently played his Sergio LP’s, and I immediately became aware of the high quality of them, including the Lennon + McCartney songs - apparently Paul wrote that the cover of Fool On The Hill was a favourite of his. 50+ years later I still find enjoyment in these recordings, with the fine arrangements and of course the exquisite vocals of Lani Hall, Karen Philipp / Gracinha Leporace.
RIP Sergio Mendes

Talking Heads, Little Creatures, 1985. And then Stop Making Sense, 1984.
They still sound fabulous to me.

Moving on smoothly with Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach, ‘Painted from Memory’. Not a bad song on this set.
