I got hooked on the song a few years ago and would watch this performance. RIP

Very sad. My late mom was a big fan of her, I really like bossa nova myself. May she RIP. I think she was the last one left. Stan Getz, her ex husband Jao Gilberto, and the songwriters of her most famous song died years ago. Although the lady who inspired " Girl From Impanema" is still living. I think singer Bebel Gilberto is related to her ex husband.

'Although the lady who inspired " Girl From Impanema" is still living.'

That's nice to know!

I didn’t know that song was based on a real woman until 2016 when I read an interview with her as part of the Olympics hosted in Brazil that year.

Just hear.
Such beautiful and innocent voice

RIP
