Sergio Mendez, what album title for this song?

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.

I had a Lani Hall A Brazileira LP before, lent it to my cousin and forgot about it (although I love it). Im quite surprised that this album was never remastered into CD. Some say that Herb Alpert has the rights to Lani Halls recordings so its up to him to resurrect, on CD, this wonderful recording.

all the lani hall recordings are buried with universal music now......write them

foster,

If memory serves isn't that the green album cover with the babe & whip cream on it? I first listened to the album (vinyl) back in the early 70's when I was a stout young lad..the cover caught my attention...the music was good to. I think I still have the album in a box somewhere.

It's been a while, but I have the greatest hits CD...I don't remember the recording on the CD being quite as good as the orginal LP.
