Hi everyone!
I watched the the documentary about Brazilian American artist SERGIO MENDES called “Sergio Mendes In The Key Of Joy!”, I loved it, as I have always loved SERGIO MENDES and his band, BRAZIL 66.
The man was, and still is a trail blazer. A man who created the path for so many Latin/Hispanic artists to find themselves on the charts…Artists like CARLOS SANTANA, JENNIFER LOPEZ, to SELENA, JOSE FELICIANO, CHRISTINA AGUILERA, RICKY MARTIN, and yes even Mexican/American born recording artist, LINDA RONSTADT…and you’ll hear from ALL of them and more this Saturday night!
And you’ll hear about this man, SERGIO MENDES, a man who could make hit records with songs written by LENNON-MCCARTNEY, and recorded these BEATLE songs while THE BEATLES were in their prime with his unique BRAZIL 66, and have those records reach Number One around the world within the BEATLE MANIA ERA! That was, and still is considered an extraordinary feat! Not just hits of songs like “The Fool On The Hill”, but also “With A Little Help From My Friends”.
And then go on to receive an Academy Award nomination for writing the score for WALT DISNEY’s animated award winning film “Rio“!!! And then after a career of six decades, gets a call from the BLACK EYED PEAS and leader WILL I. AM, who admits his hero is our guest Saturday Night, SERGIO MENDES. WILL I. AM then records a contemporary version of
“Mas Que Nada” Sergio’s and his BRAZIL 66 signature recording, and it is an awesome version!
So, I can honestly say that this Saturday night show is what I themed “My Spanic Attack” show is a must . In a word, it is “Perfecto!”
