The Wind Is Filled With Songs . . . So Many Songs - The dawn is filled with dreamsSo many dreams Which one is mine?One must be right for meWhich dream of all the dreamsWhen there s a dream for every starAnd there are oh so many stars So many stars.I loved this compilation of fifteen best-ever Sergio Mendes songs of all-time starting off with Mas Que Nada to the very last track, an instrumental version of Desafinado. The group is better known not only for their repertoire of awesome Brazilian music but also Pop/Jazz standards as well with upbeat, dazzling and lively rhythms combined with splendid vocal harmonies. If you love an eclectic blend of Standards, Pop and Bossa Nova music from the creative pens of Cole Porter, Burt Bacharach & Hal David, John Lennon & Paul McCartney, Alan & Marilyn Bergman, Michel Legrand, Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel, Jorge Ben and Antonio Carlos Jobim, then give this CD a listen and enjoy the music. You ll definitely love it. Some of the highlights are Lennon and McCartney s famous songs Day Tripper, Norwegian Wood and With A Little Help From My Friends. The beauty of my all-time favorite gems, Pretty World, Night And Day, Watch What Happens and The Look of Love will leave you mesmerized and wanting for more Sergio Mendes Bossa Nova grooves.My number one personal favorite from this collection is a beautifully arranged and rendered song titled So Many Stars composed by Sergio Mendes himself and the lyrics were penned by the creative husband-and-wife songwriting team of Alan & Marilyn Bergman. The lovely vocals belong to Lani Hall, the original vocalist of the group. The wind is filled with songsSo many songsWhich one is mine?One must be right for meWhich song of all the songsWhen there s a song for every starAnd there are oh so many starsSo many stars.Indeed, this CD is a great listen. Give it a special place in your heart and a choice spot in your music library. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
