"Summer Samba" #26 10/15/1966

One of those instrumentals you'd hear when the TV station would lose its signal and Don Pardo or some staff announcer would offer apologies for technical difficulties. It's a definitive bossa nova tune from Walter Wanderley that reached the Top 5 on the easy listening chart for the Brazilian organist. Some US radio stations played this three or four times an hour. Tony Bennett talked him into moving to America, where Walter established himself on the San Francisco area club music scene for years.
