Who is Sergio Mihanovich?

Who is Sergio Mihanovich, other than the composer of "Some Time Ago" from Ye-Me-Le (my favorite song from that album)?

Not to give you any "irrelevancies", but I found information on a SANDRA Mihanovich...:

I guess I stumped people.

Eh, it's not that... Just that unfortunately "Sandra" seems to be more Popular & Well-Known than any "Sergio", among "Milanovich's"...

Interesting, though, how many other Nationalities there are who happen to be Residents of Argentina, Bolivia or Brasil--and South, maybe even Central America--for that matter...!

One of the funnier things *I* found online was an old Usenet discusson of "Some Time Ago" where some "expert" was pontificating that Sergio Mihanovich was Sergio Mendes' real name and that Sergio (Mendes, that is) had realized that Sergio Mihanovich & Brasil '66 just didn't cut it as a marketable name.

 

[Chris Martin]

He was born 8 May 1937 in Buenos Aires and is a pianist, composer and singer. He is the uncle of Sandra Mihanovich. He started young at the piano writing classical pieces and "sonatinas". His music has been recorded by Bill Evans, Tony Bennet, Stan Getz, Jim Hall and Sergio Mendes. At the age of 13 his father schlepped the family to New York for 6 months where Sergio wrote his first English language composition Silly of Me. He is the only Argentinian artist to be featured in the Real Book of jazz standards. Some Time Ago is described as a "jazz waltz".

Who knew?

Thank you, Chris Martin!
