  1. JimR, Mas Que Nada was Brasil '66's first single, and was the group's signature tune. I remember seeing them sing it when they were introduced to the world on The Tonight Show in the summer of '66. Brasil '66 made a number of appearance on The Tonight Show and the Danny Kaye Show, but they did not enter mainstream consciousness until the spring of '68 when they sang The Look of Love on the Academy Awards Show. That single made the Top 40 radio stations and was really their first hit. Their third album Look Around included that song and was released shortly before the Oscars show appearance. However, Sergio fired everyone in the band except the lead singer Lani Hall between the recording of that album and the Oscars appearance. So the group which toured the country singing that hit were different people from those who recorded it. It is my recollection that both of Lani Hall's co-singers became actresses. Janis Hansen had a recurring roll on The Odd Couple, and her replacement Karen Phillip played Lt. Dish in the MASH pilot.
