The Brazilian vocal quartet Os Cariocas were influenced by the same early-1960s harmony groups, such as the Lettermen and the Four Freshmen, that influenced the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson. The group combined their resulting impeccable vocals with bossa nova to uniquely commercial effect in the 1960s and '70s, as evidenced by this best-of, which features their versions of such classics as "Garota De Ipanema," "Desafinado," and "Samba Da Pergunta."
