“The Look Of Love” (Sérgio Mendes) #4 7/6/1968

Sérgio Mendes had a few modestly successful records in the US while touring with his group, Brasil ‘66, and his label’s boss, Herb Alpert. This remake of a Bacharach/David tune sung by Dusty Springfield in the 1967 movie “Casino Royale” was his American breakthrough. Mendes became the hottest Brazilian music act around. Notice the two female vocalists sing in unison, not harmony.
