My wife worked in the Indiana factory that made Naugahyde. Somewhere around the house we have an actual Nauga. It was wild-caught, not one of these captive-bred ones you can still buy.

Recently I bought a five-disc compilation of Getz/Gilberto - wonderful. But Senor Jobim was the giant upon whose shoulders they stood.

Not my cup of tea, which is why I love RP.

To some people any music that's not Zeppelin or Floyd all sounds the same.

My goodness, what an easter egg to drop in on Radio Paradise! This classic tune made me perk up and took me back maybe 30 years. I had no idea who the artist or title were.

I'm not saying it's what I want to hear all the time, but to drop in something like this, or Elmer Bernstein, or ... it's just genius. Thank you!

Okay, there's eclectic, and then there's just easy listening.
I'd even prefer Dengue Fever over this snoozer.

I'd say many of the "eclectic" tracks here on RP fall squarely into the "easy" category ...

I love Getz, Gilberto and Jobim, but there are MUCH better versions of this song.
IMHO of course.
 
Yeah, a version with Getz in it!

This feels like I'm on an endless elevator. The kind without mirrors, which are even more boring than your mirrory-wall-elevator.

Concur. The one on the Getz/Gilberto album is much better. I'm not in love with the cheesy strings and flute.

Nice. I had to check in to see how this one sat with the under 30 crowd. Heh. Brings back memories of my dad's huge vinyl collection of cool jazz. Jobim was right in there. The classic with the uber-cool alto tenor sax of Getz is better, tho.

There's nothing more enjoyable than hearing a new version to one of your favorite songs. He's no Stan Getz, but it is beautiful just the same.

Oh shush you elevator whiners. Try to do a cogent solo to this chord change and you might change your tune. This is some killer songwriting. Total classic.

This is what I love about RP - XTC followed by Carlos Jobim - followed by Steely Dan - where else can you get such diversity, excellent!

i love bossa nova (getz, gilberto jobim et al were all brilliant) this is a bad choice. why pick the version with strings? the strings ruin it and make what was a beautiful, beautiful song (see best of bossa nova on verve) and reduce it to muzak.
