The Girl From Ipanema – Antônio Carlos Jobim Vinícius De Moraes
“The Girl From Ipanema” is one of the most recognizable tunes in existence. So much so that it has been used in many films as the elevator music cliche. 17 year old Helô Pinheiro was the inspiration for the song, who was living on Montenegro Street in Ipanema. Since the song’s release and massive popularity, Pinheiro is now a celebrity in her own right.

Always – Irving Berlin
“Always” by Irving Berlin was included in the musical The Cocoanuts, but that was not its original purpose. Berlin wrote it for his wife, Ellin McKay, in 1925. He wrote it as a wedding gift, and also gifted her with the majority of the royalties. What a thoughtful husband!
