Seemingly as ageless as his songs, the shaggy-haired romantic singer looks much the same today as he did when he skyrocketed to popularity in the ‘60s. Arising from a movement that embraced American pop and rock, Carlos was positively luminous on stage. It was evident from his early appearances on Brazilian television that his face belonged in the spotlight, and that's where it remained for decades. His understated manner belies the appeal of his voice and the zeal of his admirers. As he began to record his songs in Spanish, he became an idolised pop figure throughout all of the Americas.
