Composed in 1962, “The Girl from Ipanema” became an international hit via the Getz/Gilberto version—featuring Astrud’s English verses and João’s Portuguese lines—earning the 1965 Grammy for Record of the Year and cementing bossa nova’s global reach. Note: Getz/Gilberto was produced by Creed Taylor; personnel include Stan Getz (ts), João Gilberto (g, voc), Antônio Carlos Jobim (p), Milton Banana (dr), and (per corrected sources) Sebastião Neto (db)
