"Originally world initial released in CD format by Japan's Arista in 2003 using the K2 24bit mastering, this 1973 Sergio Mendes and Brazil '77 album is really a gem. It included :
1. Where is the love
2. Put a little love away
3. Don't let me be lonely tonight
4. Killing me softly with his song
5. Love music
6. You can't dress up a broken heart
7. Hey look at the sun
8. Walk the way you talk
9. I won't last a day without you
10. I can see clearly now
Most of the songs are covered version of the hits in that period, but Sergio's version of these songs are fantastic, it gives a new look to "Where is the love" and "Love music". My favourite track is "Put a little love away", Bonnie Bowden's voice is as sweet as honey."
Love that Love Music

"We have been searching for the CD version of the album by Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 for years. We purchased the original album but have only been able to listen to a phonotape copy of it. The CD version restores full sound to the smooth music and sublime vocals. The group's renditions of "Where is the Love" and "We Need More Love Music" claims these versions as unique and truly belonging only to Brasil 66. For Valentine's Day, I can't think of a better gift."
Beautiful LOVE MUSIC!

"I first heard "Love Music" on an AM radio station while still in high school and was blown away. I quickly became a Sergio Mendes fan soon after. The beautiful voices of both Bonnie Bowden and Gracinha Leporace are a real treat to this album. The exciting beat and lyrics to "Love Music" are irresistible. I love Bonnie's singing on "Put A Little Love Away. But my absolute favorite from this album is "Hey Look At The Sun" - beautiful flute and string arrangement behind the dreamy voices of the two females. I always played this song when I did some long-distance driving.
