Norma Bengell - Ooooooh! Norma (1959)

I remember on that old vinyl fair in SP that Caetano Rodrigues found this LP on a perfect shape and with a very reasonable price, a fraction of the price we are used to see on e-Bay. I left Sao Paulo thinking about sharing this LP with Loronixers and I don't know why simply forgot to make it.

Anyway, it is not that late for Norma Bengell - OoooooH! Norma (1959), for Odeon. Mr. D&C is a big fan of Norma Bengell and this LP particularly. Unfortunately, after this wonderful debut LP, Norma Bengell decided to embrace another career as an actress and film director with great success. Only few Brazilians know that Norma was a singer before deciding to be an actress. I hope you enjoy this LP that is nice from star to end with arrangements by Maestro Lindolfo Gaya and an amazing cover that made a lot of noise in 1959, a scandal at that time. Tracks include:

01 - Sucedeu Assim (Tom Jobim / Marino Pinto)
02 - This Can't Be Love (R. Rodgers / L. Hart)
03 - Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 - On The Sunny Side Of The Street (D. Fields / J. McHugh)
05 - Eu Preciso de Você (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
06 - C'est Si Bon (H. Betti / A. Hornez)
07 - Sente (Chico Feitosa / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
08 - Fever (J. Devenport / E. Cooley)
09 - Hô-bá-lá-lá (João Gilberto)
10 - You Better Go Now (B. Reichner / R. Graham)
11 - That Old Black Magic (Arlen / Mercer)
12 - Drume Negrita (E. Grenet)
