DESCRIPTION:
In this 1947 recording, Bidú Sayão (1902-1999) sings "Think On Me," composed by Alicia Ann Scott (1810-1900) and arranged by Carol Perrenot. Milne Charnley accompanies on the piano.

I created this video from the LP, "Bidú Sayão: My Encores / Folk Songs of Brazil," issued in 1947 on the Columbia Masterworks label, serial number ML 4154.

I have included at the close of this video some images of the text from the LP jacket, reverse side, describing the works included on this LP.

So that there is no question in the mind of the listener, I rely principally on images of the LP and LP jacket in order to document the authenticity of historically important recordings such as these.
