Wilson Simonal - Tem Algo Mais (1963)

I'm confident someone finds Altamiro Carrilho e Sua Flauta Azul 10-inch as described bellow. It will fantastic to have this album back to Altamiro and Jornal Musical and also a great accomplish to our community. Anyway, once again I do not have arguments to explain why the debut LP of this so adored artist was not released before. This is a great album, different from the later works of Wilson Simonal and you will have a high quality entertainment with it.

This is Wilson Simonal - Tem Algo Mais (1963), for Odeon, Wilson Simonal debut LP, featuring orchestral arrangements by Maestro Lyrio Panicalli. Do not think you will get a groovy samba flavored Wilson Simonal on his debut, this is a nice Bossa Nova album with Wilson Simonal singing smooth, supported by Maestro Lyrio Panicalli. Definitively, the early 60's was the peak years for Brazilian male singers; several nice works are from this period, such like the early works of Pery Ribeiro and others. Tracks include:

01 - Tudo de Você (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
02 - Amanhecendo (Roberto Menescal / Luis Fernando Freire)
03 - Telefone (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
04 - Saudade (Silvio César)
05 - Samba Cromático (Jair Amorim / Carlos Cruz)
06 - Menina Flor (Luis Bonfá / Maria Helena Toledo)
07 - Lágrima Flor (Billy Blanco)
08 - Balanço Zona Sul (Tito Madi)
09 - Menino Triste (Gracindo Jr. / Rildo Hora)
10 - Meu Comportamento (Chico Feitosa / Marcos de Vasconcellos)
11 - Samba É Verbo (Édson Menezes / Alberto Paz)
