If you like The Colbert Report, you will love this book! It is typical Stephen Colbert humor, and you even get "The Word" as you read. This book is hilarious and a must-read for anyone who likes sarcasm and outrageous humor. It is full of truthiness! Be a hero, read this book, and I promise, you wil

Ok, all nursing mothers need nursing pads.. we don't want any public wet suprises right? I found this brand to be extra thin and comfortable. I started out buying them at Targe or Walmart for $10.99 for a box of 30! I found them on Amazon because I was looking for a filler item (I needed to spend a

Who Moved My Cheese is a classic that uses a story without the burden of extra detail to force you to put your own life into the situation, and learn from it. It's true that this method isn't for everyone, but the book is popular for a reason: it helps people.

Product Description:

Given his 40-year career, it's difficult to imagine that Sergio Mendes is still able to reinvent himself and create a new sound. But the record-breaking Brazilian musician doesn't seem to have any limits. Two years ago he came out with Timeless, which distinguished itself from his usual bossa-nova sensibilities and featured a fantastic mix of hip-hop and Latin Jazz. For Encanto, Mendes and his band, Brasil '6--collaborating with Fergie and will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas), Natalie Cole, and Herb Alpert--have made the perfect lounge CD, which fans of Bebel Gilberto and C??u will certainly appreciate. --Ernesto S??nchez (People en Espa??ol People en Espa??ol)

Con m??s de 40 a??os de carrera, es dif??cil pensar que Sergio Mendes todav??a tenga la capacidad de reinventarse y crear un sonido distinto. Pero pareciera que para el brasile??o de mayores ventas en el mundo no hay l??mite. Si bien hace dos a??os present?? Timeless, un disco completamente distinto a su tradicional bossa-nova, con una espectacular mezcla de hip-hop y latin-jazz, en Encanto, Mendes y su banda, Brasil '66--acompa??ados de la mano de Fergie y will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas), Natalie Cole, y Herb Alpert--logra el disco perfecto de "lounge," que los fans de Bebel Gilberto y C??u sabr??n apreciar. --Ernesto S??nchez (People en Espa??ol People en Espa??ol)
Brazilian music legend Sergio Mendes spins his remarkable magic on his newest recording, a bona fide classic! This is a kaleidoscopic album that underscores the maestro's ear for addictive melodies, as well as his ability to cast incredibly talented singers and musicians from all over the world

Ok CD but not the quality of music from Sergio Mendes
8/18/2008
I've been a hugh fan of Sergio Mendes for the last 25 years and pretty much all CD's are really great except for maybe a few.
And this one for me is one that fell in the category of average to below average for someone like Sergio Mendes.
You might be a little disappointed if what you have in mind is the smooth jazzy bossanova type of music typical from Sergio Mendes.

VERY NICE....BUT NOT QUITE AS NICE AS TIMELESS
7/31/2008
Sergio and Will.I.Am back at it again. This album has a much stronger Brazilian backdrop than Timeless did; and the organization, content and structure of the album are a little more mature. Featured artists such as Natalie Cole, Herb Alpert, and Ledisi show the maturity and growth in assembly and production. The album is one that can definitely be played through with continuity and will be overly enjoyed. I would give the album 4 Stars. In analyzing my rating, please be aware that I am disposed to comparing this album with Timeless and I am just a bigger fan of Timeless.

Incredible Album
7/27/2008
I haven't listened to S.M. since the 60's. This is a fantastic collection and I can't stop listening to it; even my teenagers are hooked. The Look of Love includes one of the lowest, deepest bass lines I have ever heard (in a real song)...it rattles your gut. Highly recommended...I don't know anyone that wouldn't enjoy this music. Totally infectious.

Mendes proves that you can go home again!
7/20/2008
Two years ago Sergio Mendes came back into the mainstream with the Grammy-winning "Timeless" co-produced by wil.i.am with songs featuring Erykah Badu, Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott, John Legend, Justin Timberlake and several other international stars. That album, by virtue of its all-star pop line-up and co-producer had a more hip-hop "flava" to it.

Though wil.i.am returns on "Encanto," most of the new album sounds remarkably like Mendes's classic albums from the 60's and 70's with updated technology. It's like a trip back in time when Brasil '66 was heating up the pop charts.

Ledisi, Carlinhos Brown, Jovanotti, Juanes, Gracinha Leporace, and Vanessa da Mata, along with Siedah Garrett, Natalie Cole and wil.i.am possess the right vocalizations to match Mendes' sultry trademark keyboards.

The benchmark of the album, however, is "Dreamer," featuring the legends Lani Hall on vocals and Herb Alpert on trumpet. That song is worth the price of the whole release.

Fergie's contribution is pretty good on the update of "The Look of Love" but that one pales in comparison to the original classic.
