Sergio Mendez, what album title for this song?


I'm looking for the album title that has the song title "Mas Que Nada" on it.

Lani Hall has a number of solo recordings:

I don't believe Janice Hansen did anything on her own.
After doing a little research, it seems that the most desirable Lani Hall albums are in this order:

1. "A Brazileira", 1981 (very rare - recently $127 on Ebay)

2. "Sundown Lady", 1972 - her first solo album after Brazil '66. ($10 to $15 on Ebay, but I see these in thrift stores occasionally).

3. "Sweet Bird", 1976 - Under $10 usually, and I see these on the street frequently. I'm a little concerned about anything in this genre from the late '70's, though. I'd wait to find one for a 2 or 3 dollars.

It seems like Sundown lady is the realistic one to go for, and probably the closest in taste to Brazil '66 - now I wish I hadn't passed up so many of them.
Picked up Sundown Lady today for 10 cents - Did the thrift store rounds and found a fairly beat up copy just to have a listen. It's a bit disappointing, not much like Brazil '66 at all. Some slow torchy songs, a nice version of Tiny Dancer, nothing very interesting to me - basic easy listening ballad type stuff. Kind of a Carole King sound but without the great songwriting. The singing is mostly solo, without Sergio's lush backup harmonies, and frankly not really special - IMHO.

I'll post as I find more of her lp's.
