Who was the lead singer of Brasil '66? It was reportedly the band's last project and comprised popular songs like Righteous Life, Chelsea Morning, Lost in Paradise, and more.

Bibi Vogel, on the other hand, forfeited her second-banana status to pursue an acting career. A highlight of his 21st century career came when he received an Oscar nomination for the song "Real in Rio" (cowritten with Carlinhos Brown and Siedah Garrett) from the 2011 animated film Rio.

Lani, who was 19, had to get permission from her parents and, fortunately, they complied. While Lani Hall had little success as a solo act, she made one good move: she and Herb Alpert were married that year and have remained happily wed ever since. Equinox, another gold album, featured three hit singles: "Constant Rain (Chove Chuva)" (another Ben song, this one with English lyrics by Norman Gimbel), "For Me" and Cole Porter's "Night and Day," each embedding Lani's cool, sensuous voice a little further into mid-'60s pop culture.

For reasons only guessed at, Dusty Springfield didn't perform her hit "The Look of Love" on the televised Academy Awards ceremony in April 1968. She was replaced by Janis Hansen.

Atlantic Records, meanwhile, had released a single from the earlier album (a remake of The Mamas and the Papas' "Monday, Monday").

Billboard reported airplay and record sales were at an all time high.

In late September or early October 1970, the group re-signed with A&M Records. Mendes, barely in his mid-teens, began merging this musical mindset with the rhythmic patterns of his homeland. The routine of doing Latin-tinged remakes had largely run its course by 1970; Lani left the group during the sessions for Stillness and was replaced on a few tracks by Sergio's wife, Gracinha Leporace, who had occasionally sung with Brasil '66.

In the United States, the trio recorded the groundbreaking LP The Swinger from Rio for the Atlantic label. Some months later he contacted her with an offer to join his band. Reconfiguring the group again (still with two female singers) as Sergio Mendes and Brasil '99, he switched it again to Brasil 2000 before ditching the numbers game.

Mendes participated in jam sessions at the Little Club in Rio de Janeiro and, in 1961, led the Brazilian Jazz Sextet at the Third South American Jazz Festival in Montevideo. Being partial to female vocalists, he preferred the sound of two girl singers as opposed to a solo act or larger group. Effective January 1, 1968, Mendes Enterprises assumed management and booking with support from A&M.

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 were Billboard's #17 Top Album Artists of 1967.

In 1968, Sears refused to sell the Fool on the Hill album because it did not agree with the album cover art.

While in New York, Mendes collaborated with renowned musicians such as Art Farmer, Bud Shank, and Tom Jobim on new bossa nova recordings.
