Lead Vocalist on Sergio Mendes' "I'll Tell You"

[Kooly]

Does anyone know who the lead vocalist is on the Tee Scott mix of "I'll Tell You" by Sergio Mendes Brazill '88? She has a Randy Crawford feel.

Sorry can't help you but here is what AMG had to say about the female vocals of Brazil'88

Quote: "But what worked so well in a Brazilian idiom in the 1960s doesn't work at all in the still-raging disco scene of 1979 ? and Magic Lady is buried under the oppressive weight of the treadmill disco thumpers that dominate this justly neglected LP. Although Mendes still gave his forces the nominal title of Brasil 88, most of the time, not a trace of Brazil can be heard here. Some Brazilian percussion pops up on the title track (with loyal countryman Sebastiao Neto in the lead), but it is drowned out by the heavy overproduction, Tom Scott's tenor sax, and the strings. The female voices are the most unremarkable of all of the teams that Mendes fielded over the decades. While apologists often blame the cold-eyed producer or overbearing arranger for sessions like this, since the producer, arranger, and artist are the same person here, there's no place to hide. And no, it didn't sell all that well anyhow."

Frankly I really liked this song

Kooly,

These 3 ladies credited as vocalists on Sergio's Magic Lady lp:

Bonnie Amaro
Carol Rogers
Marietta Waters

Sorry, this is as close as I can get to it. Don't know who was doing lead on "I'll Tell You".

The best Sergio Mendes & Brasil ?? was the '66 version featuring Lani Hall (who later became Mrs. Herb Alpert) on vocals. The "Look Around" and "Fool On The Hill" LPs are sublime. Coooooooool & sophisticated--like a Calvin Klein fashion photo shoot at some villa on the beach in Rio.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
