Well Brazil 77 did the old northern fave 'Love Music' and made a decent fist of covering 'Superstition' Plus they also covered Stevie's 'The Real Thing' on 12". Infact the album that comes from I like too.
Primal Roots is a belter of an album by Brazil 77.
I'm rather partial to Zanzibar on 77's Pais Tropical LP.
Theres that live LP by Brazil 77 that you see everywhere. It's got a bod hangliding on the cover. Theres a nice batucada on there albeit a bit on the short side (infact I think that's on Primal Roots too)
I really like 88's version of Patti Austin's 'Thats Enough For Me' but it might be a bit on the syrupy side of soul for some on the board. The 12" of 'I'll Tell You' is nice also.
Pele is a good LP by Sergio on his tod.
What about Brazil 65 though????He also contributed songs for the Jim Henson movie vehicle 'Muppets From Space'.

Nice call, but I could have sworn that was by Brasil 66?
And I've just noticed I've been spelling Brasil 'Brazil' - whoopsHe also contributed songs for the Jim Henson movie vehicle 'Muppets From Space'.

I've got quite a pile of his lps at home, from the 60s through to early 80s and there's stuff I like on pretty much every one of them.
"Home Cooking" has a couple of nice latin jazz-funkers on it.
Also, their version of "If I ever lose this heaven" on Elektra 7" is a favourite round my depot.
I was listening to "Chelsea Morning" off "Stillness" before coming to work this morning, coincidentally....Endless Tripe
