Wow! It's always interesting to see these old threads pop up again. There are a couple of items up at the top of the first page that no one corrected, so of course I will. Rubens' recording career goes back to way before either Deodato or Sergio, starting in the 50s. His "solo" album, reissued on CD, Afro-Cuban Bossa Nova, dates from circa 1961-62. Likewise, Deodato had a recording career for close to a decade before he hit it big in the US. If you think 1972 was his first album, you're depriving yourself of some classic bossa nova stuff that he did, all of it out on CD now, including his many albums with Os Catedraticos. Most of this stuff is usually in stock at Dusty, I highly recommend getting all of it.
