Timeline

1940

Astrud Gilberto (born Astrud Evangelina Weinert; March 29, 1940 – June 5, 2023) was a Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer and songwriter.

Astrud Gilberto was born Astrud Evangelina Weinert, the daughter of a Brazilian mother and a German father, in Salvador in the Brazilian state of Bahia, on March 29, 1940.

She was raised in Rio de Janeiro.

Her father was a language professor, and she became fluent in several languages.

1959

She married João Gilberto in 1959.

His affair with Miúcha, a Brazilian singer, caused the couple's separation.

1960

She gained international attention in the mid-1960s following her recording of the song "The Girl from Ipanema".

1963

She immigrated to the United States in 1963 and settled there permanently.

Astrud sang two songs on the 1963 album Getz/Gilberto, featuring João, Getz, and Antônio Carlos Jobim.

While it was her first professional recording, Astrud Gilberto was not entirely a novice.

She grew up immersed in music; her mother played multiple instruments.

Gilberto sang often with João in Brazil, including a concert performance at the Faculdade de Arquitetura, part of one of the leading universities in Rio de Janeiro.

Her whispery voice and steadfast approach to singing played a significant role in popularizing "The Girl from Ipanema", earning a Grammy Award for Record of the Year and a nomination for Best Vocal Performance by a Female.

1964

According to the Associated Press, their marriage ended in divorce in 1964; but a 2019 Facebook post by their son, João Marcelo Gilberto, said they had "merely separated" and never divorced.

Astrud Gilberto had another son, Gregory LaSorsa, with a second partner; Gregory performed music with his mother.

Gilberto later reportedly had an affair with her husband's musical collaborator, Stan Getz, a saxophonist, during a tour in 1964, which was reported on extensively by the Brazilian press.

She later regretted her decision to tour with Getz, who mistreated her, and stated that she had done so because of dire financial need in the wake of her divorce.

She described the experience as "tortuous".

The 1964 edited single of "The Girl from Ipanema" omitted the Portuguese lyrics sung by João Gilberto, and established Astrud Gilberto as a bossa nova singer.

It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc.

For the recording, Astrud Gilberto only received the standard session fee, US$120.

According to writer Gene Lees in Singers and the Song II, Getz asked producer Creed Taylor to ensure she was paid no royalties on the single, which went on to sell more than five million copies.

It became one of the most covered songs in the history of pop music.

In 1964, Gilberto appeared in the films Get Yourself a College Girl and The Hanged Man.

1965

Her first solo album was The Astrud Gilberto Album (1965).

Upon moving to the United States, she went on tour with Getz.
