NPR reports on "Girl from Ipanema"

To go with my blog posts about Brazil, I thought I'd write a bit about NPR's report on the song, "Girl from Ipanema." It was one of my favorites this past semester when I was in Brazil, but I never knew the story behind the song. I also never knew just quite how influential it was - it is the most recorded pop tune ever!

Check out the article on NPR about the history and fun facts about the song here.

As the article states, NPR covered this song after the Wall Street Journal covered it on July 2. You can find the Wall Street Journal article here.
