The Girl from Ipanema - 1964
"
Garota de Ipanema
" ("
The Girl from Ipanema
") is a
Brazilian
bossa nova
and
jazz
song. It was a worldwide hit in the mid-1960s and won a
Grammy for Record of the Year in 1965
. It was written in 1962, with music by
Antônio Carlos Jobim
and Portuguese lyrics by
VinÃcius de Moraes
. English lyrics were written later by
Norman Gimbel
.
The first commercial recording was in 1962, by
Pery Ribeiro
. The
Stan Getz
recording featuring the vocal debut of
Astrud Gilberto
became an international hit. This version had been shortened from the version on the album
Getz/Gilberto
(recorded in March 1963, released in March 1964) which had also included the Portuguese lyrics sung by Astrud's then husband
João Gilberto
. In the US, the single peaked at number five on the
Billboard
Hot 100
and went to number one for two weeks on the
Easy Listening
chart. Overseas it peaked at number 29 on the
UK Singles Chart
and charted highly throughout the world.
Numerous recordings have been used in films, sometimes as an
elevator music
cliché
. It is believed to be the second-most recorded pop song in history, after "
Yesterday
" by
The Beatles
. The song was inducted into the
Latin Grammy Hall of Fame
in 2001. In 2004, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the
Library of Congress
to be added to the
National Recording Registry
.
In 2000, the 1964 release of the song by
Stan Getz
&
Astrud Gilberto
on Verve Records was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
