Chega De Saudade

Antonio Carlos Jobim (born Antonio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim, January 25, 1927 in Rio de Janeiro – December 8, 1994 in New York City), was a Brazilian composer, arranger, singer, pianist and is perhaps the greatest legend of bossa nova. Jobim's compositions, many performed by João Gilberto, gave birth to the genre in the early 1960s. Jobim's breakthrough outside Brazil occurred in 1962 when Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd discovered a surprise hit with his tune "Desafinado", and later that year, he and several other Brazilian musicians were invited to participate in a Carnegie Hall showcase. Countless artists have covered Jobim compositions like "The Girl From Ipanema", "Desafinado", "Chega De Saudade", "One Note Samba", "Corcovado", "Insensatez", "Triste", "A Felicidade", "Wave", "Águas De Março" and many others.
