Sergio Mendes has died at age 83. He and his band, Brazil 66, popularized the Brazilian bossa nova sound in the 1960's.

It was only a few years ago that my DH was shocked to find out, from me, that Fool on the Hill was a Beatles song. He thought it was a Sergio Mendes original, because that's the only version he remembers hearing. I liked the Sergio Mendes version as well as the Beatles version.

BTW... I read that Lani Hall (Sergio's lead singer & Herb Alpert's wife) learned to sing his Portuguese lyrics phonetically becuz she didn't speak any of Portuguese.

When he covered The Beatles' "Fool On The Hill" on the 1967 album Look Around, Paul McCartney wrote Mendes a letter, telling him it was his favourite version of the song.
