Bossa music

[11/1/12] I've written about Bossa music on previous posts (for example, Bossa Beatles in the previous post - for more search this blog for Bossa).  But I figure I'll make a new post devoted just to it.  It seems the singer on these albums (or at least some of them) is Rita Lee.

Well I'll just cut and paste here..

Fly Me to the Moon (saxophone)
Fly Me to the Moon (Olivia Ong)
Fly Me to the Moon (Astrud Gilberto)
The Girl From Ipanema (Astrud Gilberto)

My favorite Bossa album is Bossa N' Chicago.  Anyway, here's some tracks from youtube.  I guess I should one day make a playlist.

If You Leave Me Now
Will You Still Me Love Me?
Happy Man

shucks, I thought I could find more.  [I might have downloaded it on my other computer.]

Hey, I see the tracks available for streaming on grooveshark.  I'll write them down before they disappear (since they're being sued for copyright violations by all the major music companies).

Just You N' Me
Will You Still Love Me? (youtube)
If You Leave Me Now (takko27)
Colour My World
You're the Inspiration
Hard Habit To Break
Glory Of Love
Here in my Heart
Hard to say I'm Sorry
After The Love Has Gone
I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love
Happy Man (nestormena3000)
The Next Time I Fall
Take Me Back To Chicago

[12/8/16]  Found this note in the divider, they're the Bossa N' Chicago Tracks, but in a different order.  Maybe this was the order on my custom playlist?  I dunno.  But here it is..

If you leave me now (bal27rck)
you're the inspiration (bal27rck)
will you still love me (bal27rck)
glory of love (bal27rck)
happy man (bal27rck)
hard habit to break (bal27rck)
hard to say I'm sorry (bal27rck)
I don't want to live without your love (bal27rck)
just you n' me (bal27rck)
after the love is gone (bal27rck)
colour my world (bal27rck)
next time I fall (bal27rck)
here in my heart (bal27rck)
take me back to chicago (bal27rck)

Looking at the youtube links, I see the first one (Will You Still Love Me) no longer works, but I found a couple more attributed to Sitti [actually got 'em all!].  I'll link them above.  And before they're gone, I'll download them too (using keepvid).  Tried downloading the mp3 with keepvid and I couldn't get it working, so I used listentoyoutube.com.  Funny the mp3 is bigger than the mp4 file.

Hmm.  Now I see the scribbled list was (the bulk of) my playlist labelled Bossa's and that I looked at those videos almost four years ago - see 3/17/13 post below.  One video is missing from the playist (which is will you still love me).  I'll add it back.  I also notice some deleted videos from the playlist: top of the world and you got a ....

OK, here's a replacement for Top of the World (by Taryn Szpilman).  Actually I like this one (uploaded by Harris Syach) better.  As for You got a friend, I like this one by Susan Wong.  And this one by Lisa Ono.  OK, I'll add the second and third to the list to replace the deleted ones.

So here's the current playlist (the first 14 are from Bossa N' Chicago)
If You Leave Me Now (takko27)
Happy man (nestormena3000)
You're the inspiration (bal27rck)
Will you still love me
Glory of love

Just you n' me
After the love has gone

The next time I fall

Hey Jude (TATIMELMONO)
Let It Be (mitodrumR)
Here Comes the Sun (mitodrumR)
Beat It (TATIMELMONO)
Top of the World (Harris Syach)

[3/17/13 - I see that bal27rck has uploaded the tracks to youtube between 12/1/12 and 12/3/12 and attributes the singer as sitti.  Looking up sitti, I see she is Sitti Navarro and is credited with the Cafe Bossa and My Bossa Nova albums (on which she sings If You Leave Me Now).  They're pretty good, but to me sounds different from the singer on the Bossa N' Chicago which I still believe to Rita Lee.]

I like Bossa n' Marley too.

Is This Love?
Waiting in Vain
I Shot The Sheriff
Redemption Song
No Woman No Cry
Buffalo Soldier

[Hey, I see this album on megazip.]

I guess I'll just listen on grooveshark while I can.

[1/23/14] Hey rdio is streaming free.  Lisa Ono - Soul & Bossa caught my ear (while trying to listen to songs from Slim Whitman Country Classics).  And here's a reggae version of Send Me The Pillow.

[12/5/15] Listening to Bossa n' Essentials on spotify.  Love it.

[5/14/22] The Boss N Chicago songs from bal27rck have gone private.  But I see a new playlist "provided to YouTube by Warner Music Phillipines".  So this kind of looks official.  The songs are dated 9/26/14, but the playlist was last updated 4/11/22.
