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. In fact, at least one source claims that three different versions were on the Billboard charts at the same time in 1966.[4] Allmusic has said of Wanderley's version, "His recording ... is regarded as perhaps a more definitive bossa tune than "Girl From Ipanema."[5] Wanderley's version was the biggest seller in the U.S.,.    Download this sheet!

Marcos Kostenbader Valle (born September 14, 1943 in Rio de Janeiro)[1] is a Brazilian singer, songwriter and record producer.
