Tim Maia

This is the one with "Gostava Tanto de Você" on it, and honestly that track alone could carry a lesser record. Maia's voice has this rough, soulful crack to it that no smooth Brazilian singer of the era had — he sounds like he's arguing with the horns half the time. Deep, heavy bass throughout. If you only know him from compilations, start here and hear the whole picture.
