“Scarborough Fair” (Sérgio Mendes) #16 12/14/1968

Once again, Sérgio Mendes and Brasil ‘66 covered a hit by giving it a bossa nova beat, and scored once again. The most familiar version came earlier in the year from Simon and Garfunkel, featured on “The Graduate” soundtrack. I guarantee you not many medieval English ballads became a 20th century pop hit - twice.
