Claudette Soares - Voce (1974)

Hello, good evening! Claudette Soares recorded her first 78 rpm in 1954, after starting her career on Radio, being recognized as the Princezinha do Baiao for her performances as a duo with Luiz Gonzaga, The King of Baiao. Later, she left the Baiao genre in the early 60's to record her first LP for Mocambo, Claudette e a Dona da Bossa (1964). Since this debut LP recorded more than 40 years ago, Claudette Soares has an active recording career, performing until today. Let's see.

This is Claudette Soares - Voce (1974), for Odeon. Although listed as "Voce" on every website I could check, the only reference to the word "Voce" is track 07 - Voce, by Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos. Claudette Soares delivers a repertoire of ballads and romantic songs with her delicate interpretation and sweet voice. Maestro Jose Briamonte plays a major role at Voce, delivering arrangements and musical direction. Tracks include:

01 - Proposta (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos)
02 - Fraqueza (César Costa Filho / Paulo César Pinheiro)
03 - Adeus Maria Fulô (Humberto Teixeira / Sivuca)
04 - Preciso Aprender a Só Ser (Gilberto Gil)
05 - Tarde (Milton Nascimento / Márcio Borges)
06 - Nem de Ouro Nem de Lama (Ivan Lins / Ronaldo Monteiro de Souza)
07 - Você (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos)
08 - Seu Carinho (Ivan Lins / Ronaldo Monteiro de Souza)
