March 29 - Astrud Gilberto (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Astrud Gilberto (b. 29 March 1940) is a Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer.
[For last year's parody in honor of Albert von Tilzer click here.]













Debutante

"She sang on two tracks on the influential 1963 album Getz/Gilberto... despite having never sung professionally before this recording. The 1964 single version of  "The Girl from Ipanema"... taken from the 1963 album... sold over one million copies... ." -- Wikipedia

Astrud Gilberto (Brazilian),
Whose very first song sold a million,
Was prone to the view
That such a debut
Was better than any cotillion.
