Celly Campello - Broto Certinho (1960)

Rato, is the tireless owner of Rato Records Blog, one of the best music blogs ever, from Portugal. Rato delivers unique Rato's compilations, so good ones that seems that Rato is a record label, not a musical blog.

It is not easy to get Rato by surprise, but a couple of minutes ago, he asked on comments the availability of a series of five records released by Celly Campello for Odeon between 1969 and 1970. I'm not a big fan of Celly Campello, but Rato's request should never be bypassed. There goes zecalouro...

Rato was right, I'm surprised with these records. Celly Campello had everything that Odeon could made available for her. So I decided to show you why, this is Celly Campello - Broto Certinho (1960), with Regency and arrangements of tracks 01, 02 and 10 of Luiz Arruda Paes e sua Orquestra. The remaining tracks arranged and performed by Mario Gennari Filho e Seu Conjunto. The backing vocals are from The Playings aka Os Titulares do Ritmo.

Brotinho Certinho is a cool record that you should listen without any kind of previous evaluation of a rock'n'roll or Jovem Guarda LP. Tracks include:

01 - Broto Certinho (One Woman Man) (Greenfield / Vrs. Fred Jorge)
02 - Billy (Archey / Vrs. Fred Jorge)
03 - To Know Him Is To Love Him (Spector)
04 - Querida Mamãe (Dear Mom And Dad) (Slay Jr. / Crews / Vrs. Fred Jorge)
05 - Over The Rainbow (Arlan / Harburg)
06 - Frankie (Neil Sedaka / Greenfield / Vrs. Fred Jorge)
07 - Banho de Lua (Tintarella Di Luna) (B. de Fillippi / Migliacci / Vrs. Fred Jorge)
08 - Os Mandamentos do Broto (Mário Gennari Filho / Fred Jorge)
09 - Para Mim e Você (For Me And My Gal) (Meyer/Leslie/Goetz/Vrs. Fred Jorge)
10 - Broken Hearted Melody (Edwards / David)
11 - Não Tenho Namorado (I Ainn't no Steady Date) (Caballero / Vrs. Fred Jorge)
12 - Grande Amor (Instant Love) (Spielman / Draks / Vrs. Fred Jorge)
