Friday on my Mind 237: Mas Que Nada. RIP Sérgio Mendes
Posted in 1960s, Events dear boy. Events, Friday On My Mind at 12:00 on 13 September 2024
Sérgio Mendes, who popularised Bossa Nova in the 1960s, has died.
I remember this very familiar tune as getting a lot of airplay at the time but it wasn’t a hit in the UK. (Only Never Gonna Let You Go was, and it only got to no. 45 in 1983.) It is however probably the one for which he will be most remembered.
