3.0 out of 5 stars Sergio Mendes' weakest album, August 4, 2008

By	Papetti "papetti" (Mexico City) - See all my reviews

This is without a doubt Sergio Mendes' weakest album ever; released originally in 1984, musically this album fell in a ditch of pop / disco & smooth jazz with songs that nobody will ever remember, songs that had no real identity and no significance of any kind; perhaps only Ivan Lins' "The Sound of One Song" is a standout because of that beautiful choir of kids.
Another "rescueable" song is Ivan Lins' "Kisses" performed here by Gracinha Leporace.
I'd also like to add that the ugliest song ever recorded by any of Sergio's groups is also included here: "Morrer de Amor", lousy selection.

If you collect Sergio Mendes, this is a must have by all means; but if you're looking for a good work of Sergio in the 80's, the other 3 albums he recorded in that decade, besides this one, are actually waaaaay better:
"Sergio Mendes" from 1983, "Brasil 86" from 1986 and "Arara" from 1989.

P.S. Amazon's page doesn't include the tracks, so here they are:
1. Olympia
2. Say it With Your Body
3. Let's Give a Little More This Time
4. The Sound of One Song
5. Alibis
6. Dance Attack
7. Kisses
8. Real Life
9. Morrer de Amor

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the 3 singles released from this album, September 3, 2009

By	D. Beckman "Billboard Chart Expert" (Redmond, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 3 favorite songs on this album are: Real Life, Alibis & Olympia. These 3 songs are great, uptempo pop songs.

None were major hits on the Billboard HOT 100 back in 1984. Olympia peaked at #58 and Alibis reached #29 in August 1984. Real Life never charted on the HOT 100.

On Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, the 3 songs did better. Olympia hit #18, Alibis peaked at #5 and Real Life reached #17.

TRIVIA: The song Olympia was written for the 1984 Summer Olympics.
