JMK said:I chose "Gone Forever" not necessarily because it's my favorite of the list above (though it's great to hear Karen by herself), but because in the course of Sergio's career I think it could have been a defining moment, much like "Never Gonna Let You Go" became more than a decade later..
JMK said:If "Gone Forever" had hit, establishing Brasil '77 as a "brand" much like '66, his days with A&M probably would not have been numbered and the varying quality of the Bell and Elektra albums that followed might have been more consistent.
Joe said:I voted for "Norwegian Wood" because I think it should have done well on the charts. Not only that, but it's one of my favorite Brasil '66 songs. One of the group's shining moments.
As a close second, I would have chosen "For What It's Worth", it seems like it echos the life and times in the late '60s. I like this version better than Buffalo Springfield's.

...thinking Joe has an excellent ear for Mendes hits, online...
Mike Blakesley - from another thread said:My own personal favorite cut on the Confetti album is "Real Life." Not because it's a great Sergio song...it isn't -- it's just a great pop song! I don't know why this didn't become a hit.
Captain Bacardi said:I went with "The Frog", simply because the rhythm has such a great groove to it, and the vocal overlaps were magical IMHO.
