Fair's fair, and this is credited to Sinatra for no better reason than his was the only version I was able to lay my hands on where the lyrics were in English, rather than the original Portuguese. But to be honest, Sinatra's version is comparatively lame when compared to the other versions I've heard. His bottoming-out, uninspired performance pales badly when compared to several others I listened to in preparing this chart, most notably the Gal Costa/Tom Jobim version on which this chart is musically much more closely based. That recording is awsome.
