Astrud Gilberto
Astrud Gilberto (b. March 30, 1940) is a Brazillian-born singer best known for her samba and bossa nova music.
Biography
Astrud Gilberto was catapulted to fame in the mid 1960s with the success of the song The Girl From Ipanema, which she performed on the album Getz/Gilberto with Stan Getz, her husband Joao Gilberto, and Antonio Carlos Jobim.
The Gilbertos later divorced, and Astrud continues to enjoy a career of modest success, but her later recordings never matched The Girl From Ipanema's amazing popularity.
