“In Brazil they have a samba, with a simple melody…” Antônio Carlos Jobim’s “One Note Samba" started out in Brazil as "Samba de uma Nota Só,” first recorded in 1960 by João Gilberto (with Portuguese lyrics by Newton Mendonça). The next year Gilberto superfan Jon Hendricks Jazz wrote the English lyrics (in 10 minutes) and Peggy Lee recorded her version a year after that.
