Classic A&M artist!

Despite of that, I wish there was a chance for him and at least the Brasil '66. The 'Timeless' album that came out about 7 years ago was an effort that tried to reboost his image as a legendary international musician, but sorry to say I don't think it helped. I mean, it had modern-day acts like the Black Eyed Peas and Stevie Wonder on it, but still....

I enjoy listening to the Brasil on vinyl, plus some of his later work. He was well-diversified. And of course, he'll still be around until the very end. But for now, the 60s groups and singers that haven't yet been inducted is already backlogged. Let's hope!

He could be inducted as Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65/'66/'77, or just as Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65/'66

That's interesting, Roy. I was going to post the exact same link to that video because I nominated that song for The Song Project a couple of weeks ago for a vote that's happening this week! Written by Hall of Fame inductees Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil.

Dudes, Sergio Mendes induction is a question of time. See, Kate Bush is inducted only in 2022 class. The "Hall" snobbed her 2 times and is still snnobing Iron Maiden...


ForThe Love Of God!


So, there is no rush, fellas.


Sergio Mendes will recive justice!


;)
