Did Gracinha do Lapinha?

[Sebastian]

Hey,
If anyone has the time and the patients to do this for me, I'd really really apprieciate it...Well, can anyone possibly list all the songs, Gracinha Leporace sang with Brasil '66 and Brasil '77? Not her solo albums, just with Sergio Mendes. I'm just having some confusion if it's her on some of the vocals....like did Gracinha really sing Lapinha? And when did she come in the group? I also really need it for a project, and I don't know for sure what songs she sings. Thank you soooo much!

Yes, Gracinha Leporace sang the lead on "Lapinha" on the FOOL ON THE HILL album. She was the lead singer for the Sergio-produced group Bossa Rio, and wouldn't officially join the Mendes group until STILLNESS though, replacing Lani Hall. We had a recent discussion on the various vocalists. Go here to read it:
