  1. Summer Samba (also known as So Nice or its original Portuguese title, "Samba de Verão") is a 1964 bossa nova song by Brazilian composer Marcos Valle, with English-language lyrics by Norman Gimbel; the original Portuguese lyrics came from Paulo Sérgio Valle, brother to the composer.

    The song was first popularized by the Walter Wanderley Trio in 1966 — the album Rain Forest on which it was issued reached platinum status in 1970 — also reaching the U.S."Easy Listening" chart in versions by Johnny Mathis, Vikki Carr, and Connie Francis during that same year. In fact, at least one source claims that three different versions were on the Billboard charts at the same time in 1966. Allmusic has said of Wanderley's version, "His recording ... is regarded as perhaps a more definitive bossa tune than "Girl From Ipanema." Wanderley's version was the biggest seller in the U.S., reaching #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966, (#3 on the Easy Listening chart) , and is still a favourite on Adult Standards radio stations.

    It was released by Verve Records at the height of the Bossa Nova craze in the United States, and featured the two most popular Bossa Nova musicians at the time: vocalist Astrud Gilberto and organist Walter Wanderley.

  3. Astrud Gilberto (Bahía, 29 de marzo de 1940) es una cantante brasileña de bossa nova, samba y jazz. De padre alemán y madre brasileña, su nombre de soltera era Astrud Weinert.
    Su vinculación con el mundo de la música comenzó cuando se casó en 1959 con uno de los primeros guitarristas de bossa nova, João Gilberto. En 1963 estaba acompañando a su esposo en Nueva York mientras grababa con el pianista y compositor Antonio Carlos Jobim y con el saxofonista estadounidense Stan Getz un disco de fusión entre el jazz y la bossa nova. A instancias de su esposo, Astrud Gilberto cantó unas estrofas y gustó tanto su voz que, a pesar de no tener experiencia previa, grabó el disco Getz/Gilberto, aunque no figuró en los créditos del disco. Pocos años más tarde se separó de João Gilberto.
    Su éxito cantando Garota de Ipanema la catapultó como una de las intérpretes más conocidas de una época de oro de la música brasileña. A partir de entonces emergió como nombre reconocible en todo el mundo y comenzó una larga carrera artística. Grabó en varios idiomas, inclusive en español. La cantante empezó a escribir canciones en los años 70.

  4. Someone to hold me tight
    That would be very nice
    Someone to love me right
    That would be very nice
    Someone to understand
    Each little dream in me
    Someone to take my hand
    To be a team with me
    So nice, life would be so nice
    If one day I'd find
    Someone who would take my hand
    And samba through life with me
    Someone to cling to me
    Stay with me right or wrong
    Someone to sing to me
    Some little samba song
    Someone to take my heart
    And give his heart to me
    Someone who's ready to
    Give love a start with me
    Oh yes, that would be so nice
    Should it be you and me
    I can see it would be nice
    Someone to cling to me
    Stay with me right or wrong
    Someone to sing to me
    Some little samba song
    Someone to take my heart
    And give his heart to me
    Someone who's ready to
    Give love a start with me
    So nice, that would be so nice
    Should it be you and me
    I can see it could be nice
