Was listening to an aircheck of Dean Weber on KSFO in San Francisco from April 10, 1971. On it he plays a song by Edu Lobo and Sergio Mendes called "Ordinary Day". I have never heard it, it's not on SERGIO MENDES PRESENTS EDU LOBO, and I can't find a trace of it online.

Anyone know anything about this?
 
Could it be the song "Even Now" which starts with "Seems like an ordinary day..."?

Yep. That's it. I obviously am way overdue to listen to LOBO again. Been about 10 years. DJ just gave the wrong title.

In the words of Emily Litella:

Never Mind.

And thanks!
 
Well, I'll admit that it didn't come off the top of my head. I had to listen to the tracks on SERGIO MENDES PRESENTS EDU LOBO since I remembered those words "Ordinary Day". Luckily, it was track #2!
 
Actually, track #3. :D

I'm pretty sure this is an "Americanized" version of one of Lobo's tunes--I swear I've heard it on one of his own albums.
 
Great song and a Great Album too. Ive had my cd version of this since 2006 and i still have it it is still a masterpiece.
 
Lyric by Paula Stone and Lani, according to the credits, though the copyright just lists Paula.
 
Track 6, I believe!
Yep, last track on side 1, or #6 on CD. :thumbsup: "Zanzibar" is also on that album. Two other familiar tracks are "Casa Forte" which leads off the album, and "Marta e Romao" which is covered on Paul Desmond's Brazilian-themed album From The Hot Afternoon.
