About the Song
Summer Samba (also known as So Nice or its original Portuguese title, "Samba de Verão") is a 1966 bossa nova song by Brazilian composer Marcos Valle, with English-language lyrics by Norman Gimbel; the original Portuguese lyrics came from Paulo Sérgio Valle, brother to the composer.[1] The song was first popularized by the Walter Wanderley Trio in 1966 — the album on which it was issued reached platinum status in 1970[2][3] — also reaching high on the U.S. record charts in versions by Johnny Mathis, Vikki Carr, and Connie Francis during that same decade.
