(Short BMoF ahead.) I’m a reasonably big fan of the guitar-voice duo Tuck and Patti, but to my knowledge there is only one Brazilian song recorded by them: ‘O Cantador’ by Dori Caymmi (son of the great Dorival Caymmi). The song has been covered by a number of other people, including Ella Fitzgerald and Sergio Mendes (but then again, which song has he not covered?), and in English it is referred to as ‘Like a lover’. So here is the original version with Dori Caymmi, from his 1972 album, and then the Tuck and Patti version, from their 1989 album Love Warriors. (The video is really weird though, it looks like some creepy tribute to Michael Jackson, but it’s the only one with the Tuck and Patti version that I could find on youtube.)
