Historic moment in the world music. Ten years after the begin of Bossa Nova (1957), the Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim, leader of musical moviment, does duet with Frank Albert Sinatra, considered “The Voice” of the United States. In that video, they sing “The Girl from Ipanema”, composed by, besides Jobim, Vinicius de Morais and Normam Gimbel.

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina
Que vem e que passa
No doce balanço, a caminho do mar…

Just perfect.

I love Frank Sinatra here. Hanging out with his cigarette, clearly thinking about the girl waiting for him in his dressing room. Yeah, he’s got it all figured out.
