Sergio Mendes most recorded Composer

[Aqua do Brasil]

Dear Forum Members,

I didn’t counted it, maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m right, correct me if i’m wrong but too my opinion the EDU LOBO songs are the most recorded songs by Sergio Mendes on his records.


Anyone agree?

All the best,

Aqua do Brasil

I'm sorry but I disagree with you. Sergio's most recorded composer would be Mr. Dori Caymmi, who was actually a member of Brasil 88.

 

[Steven J. Gross]

Both wrote Sergio's best stuff!

I think that question is nearly impossible to answer, given the repertoire Sergio has had over the years...
