A Sergio Mendes Music Break

It is still summer. Saturday, the weather here was lovely. Sunny, comfortably warm and with a nice breeze. As the afternoon grew later, it reminded me of those wonderful Saturday afternoons back in Los Angeles when I was a kid. Mom, Dad, my sister, our little brother and me in the living room with the front door open. We'd be getting a delicious Pacific Coast breeze through the screen door. The smooth, familiar voice of local TV sportscaster would be on local CBS covering horseraces from Hollywood Park and chatting with Hollywood stars. Dad would've grilled hamburgers and hot dogs in the backyard. He was a master on the barbecue. His burgers were classic. Thick, juicy burgers practically the size of Frisbees. For me, Saturdays like that matched Christmas Eve -- because we'd be going to the drive-in movies. Going to the drive-in was my absolute favorite family pastime. Especially when Mom wrapped up the extra burgers and hot dogs, along with chips and a soft drink in a thermos, for our nighttime snacks during the movies. In my Southern California youth, I loved Saturdays in the summer with the family on our block. At the drive-in, you had to hook a little box-like metal audio gizmo onto your window for the sound. At the drive-ins then, there would be music playing before the features started. At the drive-in, on the radio at home, on TV, I always loved hearing Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66.  This group was just the coolest. It provided many of the best sounds of summer. So, let's have a little Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 music break.

Here's the group on the old HOLLYWOOD PALACE variety show. Weekend entertainment on ABC.

Here's my favorite by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. Their tasty version of the Burt Bacharach and Hal David tune from the 1967 James Bond spoof, CASINO ROYALE. Here's "The Look of Love."


I hope you enjoyed some of the music from my L.A. youth.

Until one faithful day as I was browsing the internet I saw a testimony on how Dr. Ishiaku has helped people in curing Herpes and other diseases, quickly copied his What - sApp number so I contacted him for a solution for my Herpes disease, So Dr. Ishiaku told me that he was going to prepare his herbal medicine for my health which he sent to me, luckily after 2week my Herpes was cured. Dr Ishiaku is well recognized as one of the best herbalist doctors in Africa, you don't have to be sad anymore or cry anymore on this disease when the cure is available. The medicine has NO SIDE EFFECT,there's no special diet when taking the medicine. He also cures ALS, HIV AIDS, HPV, DIABETES and lots more.
