Luiz Claudio - O Romantico Luiz Claudio (1961)

It is always great to show an album recorded by this great Brazilian singer. It is also amazing how people get surprised when take Luiz Claudio for a first hearing. In spite of being an acclaimed singer in the 60's, Luiz Claudio is almost unknown today, even some friends have a good knowledge of the music from Brazil -- I'm talking about respectful people here -- never had the chance to hear Luiz Claudio and they use to write enthusiastic emails with many thanks for revealing Luiz Claudio. Their albums are not easy to find and I think this one will take everybody by surprise, except the bossanovadreamer, I sent this one to him last year. Let's see.
