It was indeed Jobim, together with VinÃcius de Moraes who wrote the song ‘Garota de Ipanema’ (with Norman Gimbel supplying the English words….)
The song was made famous by Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto
(thanks to allmusic.com !)
Inspired by Malcy’s creativeness, I have come up with my own (somewhat bitter) ode to the joys of Antonio Carlos Jobim (if it was indeed he who wrote the song). Anyone else fancy letting their creative juices flow??
