R.I.P. Astrud Gilberto

She had the most beautiful, soft, sensuous way of singing love songs and jazz ballads.  Thanks to Astrud, Antonio Carlos Jobim's The Girl from Ipanema went on to become one of the most recorded songs ever written.   She doesn't even appear in the credits on the original album, Getz/Gilberto that featured saxophonist, Stan Getz and her husband, Joao Gilberto; it was the first time she had sung and been recorded as a professional.  What a beginning.  I'll miss her very special voice and style of singing.
