As Getz said: "She was a housewife that got lucky." Meaning she didn't deserve her recognition.  I disagree. Unpretentious, honest vocals are truly a rarity Her daughter has the same quality. Truly amazing singers that make owning a real stereo worth it. Talk about humble, intimate, human connections. (Bebel Gilberto)
