Lucienne Franco - Lucienne, a Notavel (1959)

This is the debut LP of an extraordinary Brazilian singer that record only three LPs in the early 60's and just left the scene for reasons that I could not track down. Lucienne Franco was the favorite singer of many renowned Brazilian artists, such as Ary Barroso and Luiz Bonfa. Actually, she had the chance of making her first public performance at Friend's nightclub with Ary Barroso recommendation and a contract with TV Rio channel with the blessing of Luiz Bonfa. I read several times that Lucienne Franco is one of the best singers in Brazil, unfortunately, nobody could tell me why she retired. Let's see.
