The Girl From Ipanema
The quintessential tune was inspired by Heloisa “Helo” Pinheiro when she passed the songwriters in a beach side bar on her way to the sea, fifty years ago. To its legions of fans, the decades have only heightened the song’s allure, adding a wash of nostalgia to this hymn to passing youth and beauty. At 68, Pinheiro has two TV shows roles and is planning to launch a book in English about her past. |
