What a lovely vision she was and a unique and beautiful voice. She had a shy and timid presentation, and still delivered a classic performance. RIP

I read Astrude passed away today in the newspapers, at the age of 88. Her famous song will live on downloads, dvd, cd, cassettes, and records. RIP.

This wonderful woman was the queen of Bossa Nova. A unique voice and caliber all to her own, and a legend to remember and acknowledge for all time. RIP Astrud Gilberto 🕊️

This song gave me comfort as a child being passed from foster parent to foster parent. I heard it on the car radio, I had to be like five or six. Her voice and the smoothness of the song really lifted my mood. RIP.

Astrud wasn’t supposed to sing this song. It was her husband. Getz discovered she knew English and could sing Great discovery. Lovely woman. Thanks Stan!

So many have performed this, but Astrid and Stan are still the golden standard.

So sad to hear that Astrud Gilberto passed away on 5 June 23. I remember as a kid in the 60s, being captivated by her icy-smooth vocals. Astrud, along with Jobim and Getz, introduced me to to the world of Bossa Nova music. Thank you Astrud and may you rest in peace.

Timeless classic. Once you hear it, you never forget it.

She, herself sings like an exotic wind instrument. So beautiful, so lovely

RIP Astrud.... You created not only a timeless classic, but outsold the Beatles in the year of the Beatles. And your work on Beach Samba, etc. is also great.

I have listen to this song for 55 years. I never tired of it and knowing she passed has shocked me. I never thought it would happen. I know that sounds crazy, but all the times I would play this on You Tube,it never crossed my mine. The women I loved, never met and will always miss.

1964. I was 9, listening to AM radio-The Beatles, The Stones, Motown-then this piece of magic floated above it all.

She didn't want to go onstage & sing...her husband made her...it was an overnight success!! Gin

Rest in peace, a true gem in music history.

My late father's favourite song. I think of him whenever I hear this wonderful song. R.I.P. to this lovely songstress.

I'm brazilian , 30 now. I listened her voice in the past but had no idea who she was. I'm happy to see such brazilians recognized by their talents abroad. I wish I could have seen these artists. We have no good music being famous today but their legacy is still alive for all serious musicians in Brazil.

Who the hell doesn’t like this song? She’s lovely and Stan Getz is Stan Getz on sax. I mean COME ON!!!

Her performance is like the Mona Lisa smile of singing. Distinctive. Understated. Enigmatic. Electrostatic. Exotic. Unforgettable.

RIP Astrud Gilberto. A beautiful voice now sings in Heaven.

She was so pretty and sang that so delicately......we were lucky to live in a time when she did. RIP

She has an unusual and fascinating stage presence.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Joao Gilberto at the weekend..

Astrud Gilberto died yesterday. Thank you for this beautiful classic, Astrud, your husband Joao, and jazz legend Stan Getz.

Was an immediate classic! RIP Astrud.

Definitely the sound of an age. Perfection. Beauty.

My Mum and Dad had this single record way back in time and they played it all the time and danced in the kitchen when Mum was cooking. I love this song! 🎵🎵. I'm 66 now! Xx

Astrud Gilberto, lovely lady, This Music Track very calming & smooth to listen to aswell, 1964 Great Times aswell, Sad to say this Young Lady past away 2023 ? 😢 She will be Greatly missed, God Bless you Astrud Gilberto, ❤❤❤

Astrud was my neighbor when I lived in Manhattan. She was lovely and painfully shy all of the same time. My close friend was her biggest fan and worshipped her deeply. So I invited him to the building’s Christmas party where I was going to surprise him by introducing him to his idol. He didn’t show! So the next day I call and tell him what he missed. He was about to shoot himself. So I said no problem I’ll fix this. So I went downstairs to Astrud’s apartment knocked and told her that we wanted to take her to dinner. She was so sweet and said of course, but she’ll be touring in Europe for a month and she’ll call when she returns. A month passes and my phone rings and she says let’s go to dinner. So the next Saturday we took her to a small place in the East Village on a winter’s night and sat next to the fireplace and drank all night and sang songs, just the three of us. It was magical. Beforehand we met at her apartment for drinks. When we walked in, for Allan it was like walking into a shrine, in the hall of a goddess. I don’t think his feet touch the floor. He had a favorite album of hers. All I remember is that the cover art was a deep red. Allan walks in and sees the artwork on the wall and almost faints. A few weeks later we went to see her at a club called SOBs in lower Manhattan. Of course she ended the set with the Girl from Ipanema. I think the world stop spinning when she sang that song. A few days later, she said to me hey where were you that night and I said huh I was at a table right by the stage and she said oh I meant later afterwards backstage I said wait I was supposed to go backstage. She said yeah and hang with me and my friends . I just wasn’t cool enough to know. But the headline here is that she was a lovely lovely person and couldn’t have been kinder to a neighbor and a fan ❤

This song is like heaven its so beautiful and quiet and peaceful

Her voice is so exotic! I love the way she does this song!!

RIP. What a song. One of my very favorites all my life.

She was such a lovely person. Her artistry has been one of it's kind. Do y'all know she wasn't paid anything for this song? Also, Stan Getz abused her and underpaid her while being on tour with him. And she became a global sensation thereafter. Will miss her! Rip Astrud 💔

I had the privilege of meeting this lovely lady in New York City in about 1978

What a cool, classic song. Her voice is so exotic. Never get tired of listening to this beautiful song.

Had to comeback to this and pay tribute. RIP Astrud Gilberto

What you have given to the world will never die. RIP Astrud

My dad used to sit in our living room in hawaii and serenade my mother .its been almost ten years since moms been gone but this song makes me feel like she never left ♡

She never misses a note. A very difficult complicated song.

I love to play this piece on keyboard. So classic. So delicate. Such a sweet voice. Video even captures her innocent approach with no forced arm placement throughout her performance. Each time I hear this song, it places my mind in a beautiful vision by the sea. Astrud, RIP.

I absolutely have always loved this song! Thank You Astrud for the great music! Have a peaceful journey 🕊🕊🕊

There is something very calming and mesmerizing about her.

Now, THIS is MUSIC!!! It just doesn’t get any better than Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz!

A beautiful song sung by a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice...so soothing. RIP

RIP a lovely person who exemplifies a time in music and culture. All my love xxx

Stan's send-off, when he passed, was fitting. His ashes were poured out his sax into the ocean.

Loved this in the 60’s and love it in 2020.

RIP to one of the most Incredible Beauty’s from Brazil. What a voice.

Rest in peace, Astrud. ‘Your song’ is one of life’s treasures that seemed to always be playing in the background. You won’t ever be forgotten, God bless.🙏

In the mid 60s we would stayed at my grandmother's for the summer in the Va. mountains. I woke up listening to this as my uncle in the next room who was home from the Air force on leave would be playing this song down low and the whole album on his record player. Imagine a cool breeze coming through the window, birds chirping and a rooster crowing in the distance with this playing.

I love the simplicity of her stage presence and her voice. There's something very demure and elegant about it.

I remember this from my childhood. Rest in Peace. 😢

💔 Heart broken that our beloved Astrud Gilberto’s has been silenced. Rest In Peace. 💔

While Helô inspired the song, it was another Carioca who carried it beyond Rio. Astrud Gilberto was the wife of singing star João Gilberto when she entered an NYC studio in March 1963. João and Jobim were making a record with tenor saxman Stan Getz. The idea of cutting a verse on “Ipanema” in English came up, and Astrud was the only one of the Brazilians who spoke more than phrasebook English. Astrud’s child-like vocal, devoid of vibrato and singerly mannerisms, was the perfect foil for her husband’s soft bumblebee voice. Jobim tinkled piano. Getz blew a creamy smooth tenor. Four minutes of magic went to tape. A year later, the song was casting its quiet spell of sea and sand on the charts, washing past the Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” It peaked in mid-June at No. 5, selling over two million copies. “The Girl From Ipanema” went on to become the second-most recorded popular song in history, behind “Yesterday.” Covered by an A-Z gamut of performers.

Beautiful song, beautiful music, beautiful woman.

I remember 1964, it was the best of times!! The U.S. was strong, our coins were made of SILVER, mom and dad were young and healthy...and alive. My twin brother hadn't been murdered yet, life held so many promises and I was young and strong and invincible!!

Beautiful! Total class and talent all the way! Just the opposite of today's talentless drivel.

A friend of mine once said after hearing this singer sing this song - "She's not doing anything! Anybody could sing like her." To which, I wish I had replied: Maybe she IS a complete natural, and her singing is as effortless as it seems. But could YOU do it?? I know I couldn't. Her intonation is perfert, her diction is flawless, her phrasing is right on. This is a perfect performance, and it is live to boot. Go ahead - give it a shot - and you'll find out just how much know-how went into singing this song!

R.I.P Astrud, thank you for your most wonderful and beautiful music 🙏🌌

RIP to this beauty ❤ the voice ,the bouffant!

I'll never get enough of this era of music. I've been a fan since hearing this in a Kmart when i was 7-8. I'm 36 now

There's music that you like, and then there's art. This is an abstract painting...you can't quite understand how they did it, but you love it. Beautiful.

NOBODY did it better!!1 Thank You Astrud!!!

what a gentle and sweet voice

Just a pure, untrained voice. No pretention or unnecessary frills. The perfect voice for a song about a pretty, natural girl walking by the seashore .

i really can’t imagine any other female singer (or anyone for that matter) who can sing this song any better.

Astrid, I hope wherever, however you are, that you know your performance was iconic and beautiful. This song has touched so many but me especially.

Such a treasure, she truly made the world a better place. ❤️

Her voice is so complementary to the sax and vice versa. Im always fascinated about the shape of the structure of a singers nose and mouth and throat when they have a unique instrumental sound in their vocals, shes a human clarinet. Beautiful voice!!!!!!!

One of the greatest versions of one of the greatest songs of all time. The key changes, the samba, Stan on the sax. Classic!

I got in love with her when I was younger because of her mellow voice, I love basically all her songs

Legendary beauty and talent, fabulous timeless music

Astrud Evangelina Weinert. 82 years old and doing well. Sadly, Stan passed away 31 years ago.. But they are forever connected.. A classic Jazz/Bossa Nova song.

Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah When she walks, she's like a samba That swings so cool and sways so gently That when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah Oh, but he watches so sadly How can he tell her he loves her Yes, he would give his heart gladly But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at him Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes He smiles, but she doesn't see Oh, but he sees her so sadly How can he tell her he loves her Yes, he would give his heart gladly But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at him Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn't see She just doesn't see, no she just doesn't see But she doesn't see, she doesn't see, no she just doesn't see

As a child, I could feel the timeless, infinite, beautiful, yet current and modern vide of this song.

Astud put her imprint on this song. On the occasion of her passing, I read of how her contribution had been minimalized at the time. Any one can hear how she made it her song, how without Astrud it wouldn't be the same song. RIP, Astrud! We love you!

No one has ever been so enchanting singing that song. Her seeming a little shy just amplifies her charm. (And it doesn't hurt that she was a sweet, warm voice with perfect pitch and phrasing.) The words depict a 2nd person narration, but nobody but nobody could BE the girl from Ipanema more than Astrud Gilberto. She embodies that girl by the way she walks and holds herself and sings - all the mannerisms you'd expect in that girl on the beach. Astrud certainly makes me go ahhhh....

I’ve been obsessed with her since I was a kid. Her voice calms me and Bossa Nova does too! Pure joy❤️

Most wonderful song and lyrics ever. She makes a fabulous sound no actions no antics I just playing this incredible deep sound daily.

Astrud Gilberto looks very nervous, this was probably the 1st time she performed that song in front of an audience

RIP Astrud Gilberto. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen. I thank God that Astrud leaves behind her recordings so that I can continue to enjoy her vocal stylings.

The beauty of Ms. Astrud and this song can never be equaled.

RIP my beautiful song bird. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with all of us! 💖

The best song ever! It had to come from Brasil! They make great music!!!!!

Timeless song, beautiful performance.

Happy 81st birthday to Astrud Gilberto, Astrud's voice with that air of innocence, is just ripe for this Bossa Nova classic from the 60s with Stan Getz on sax, watching the video you really catch that 60s vibe too, co written by Antonio Carlos Jobim

This song is so 60s! You picture James Bond and a beautiful Bond girl having a nice dinner in a fancy hotel with this song playing in the background.

Too marvelous for words. RIP Astrid Gilberto

She was actually not supposed to sing that day in the studio....Jauao was to provide the lyrics but Astrud accompanied him to the studio and both Getz and Gilberto decided she should do a cut. The rest is history. The album contains both his and her versions.

I remember hearing this on the car radio when I was 9 yrs old..I loved music I heard back then..now I'm 65..and it still sounds like I am 9 again

Descanse em Pais Rainha do Bossa Nova, com uma voz única e um charme vocal inesquecível. um Tesouro do Patrimônio Cultural Brasil. R.I.P Astrud Gilberto 💔

What a lovely singer astrud was. I found out today that she passed away on June 5th it was very sad to hear. She’s currently one of my favourite singers. I hope she keeps being remembered for her amazing talent for decades and decades

I started listening to this song around last year, and it became one of my favorites, it's so comforting that it makes me think "I don't want to leave here", it somehow conveys that something.

The coolest and most sultry piece of jazz ever recorded. Her voice is perfect for the melody and style. Classic beyond description.

this is one of those songs that will be eternal and Astrud girl from Ipanema, you will never be forgotten.

10 years old when it came out and I first heard it. It was so mysterious, a genre that contrasted with the more common rock and roll.

Why so few views for this excellent upload of a wonderful singer singing an iconic song? Magic.

Its live TV...and Astrud is singing in tune and it sounds just like the original recording. Artists today can learn from this! Stan is classic as well.

Thank you, ASTRUD GILBERTO for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. In the meantime, I'll keep the music playing.

Astrud sang this song perfectly. Now Heaven has her perfect voice. I want to meet her when my time on earth is over,q just to thank her for this song.

I love the wavy background set design. It reminds me of old analog TV sets when it didn't hold the picture well. Young kids would have no idea what I'm talking about....
