Bossa nova inventor João Gilberto is known best for his interpretations of melodies written by "Tom" Jobim. But his soft, sexy, and rhythmically beguiling style was no less compatible with witty originals such as "Ho ba la la," Great American Songbook selections like the Gershwins' "'S Wonderful," and the work of younger bossa composers, including Caetano Veloso and Gal Costa's "Coraçao Vagabundo" (Vagabond Heart).
