Hellzero Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Indeed, Antônio Carlos Jobim has written most the Bossa Nova tunes including A Garota de Ipanema, but it was often a two hands work with João Gilberto, even if he is not always credited : that's show business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
