Song No. 193 — Quando a Esperança Vai Embora | Tito Madi (1960)

Quando a Esperança Vai Embora was introduced in 1960 by Chauki Maddi alias Tito Madi as B-side to Sonho e Saudade, his song from the romantic comedy film Amor Para Três by Carlos Hugo Christensen.

Quando a Esperança Vai Embora was not part of the soundtrack, but was also arranged and directed by Lyrio Panicali. The song only appeared on long-play in 1963 on the album Grandes Interpretações de Tito Madi.

In the shadow of Madi’s big hits of the year, Menina Moça and Carinho e Amor, this teleco-teco enjoyed popularity until 1962 with eight more recordings, including by Moacyr Silva, Alda Perdigão and Madi’s musical companion Ribamar.

Song No. 186 — Carinho e Amor | Tito Madi (1959)

Carinho e Amor was introduced in late 1959 by Tito Madi as B-Side to Menina Moça. In early 1960, the song was also released on the EP Menina Moça and became the title track of Madi’s collaboration album with Ribamar. Although only the B-side to Menina Moça, the 1960 annual charts also list Carinho e Amor at number 62 in addition to Menina Moça at number 6.

Carminha Mascarenhas and Toni Vestane were the first to record the song before the end of 1959, followed by over 20 recordings during 1960 and a few more until 1963, after which only two more recordings followed in 1976 by Claudette Soares and in 2019 by Nana Caymmi. Interestingly, Tito Madi himself did not re-record Carinho e Amor later like other of his compositions, although it is one of his best known songs.

CARINHO E AMOR

Se você quer voltar • Você quem manda amor • Nem tudo está perdido • Em nossa vida

Se eu choro por você • Você também por mim • Por que sofrer assim • Por que chorar assim

Se quer me devolver • Toda a alegria • Esqueça este orgulho • Que nos mata

E volte, por favor • Venha correndo • Que estarei para lhe dar • Carinho e muito amor.

Song No. 143 — Idéias Erradas | Ribamar & Dolores Duran (1959)

Idéias Erradas was introduced in August 1959 by both Carlos Galhardo and Trio Irakitan as B-sides. Despite the simultaneous release the original version is the one by Galhardo since it was recorded in May while Trio Irakitan recorded the song two months later.

Idéias Erradas was one of the last songs by Adiléia Silva da Rocha aka Dolores Duran to be released before her untimely death in October 1959 at the age of 29.

IDÉIAS ERRADAS

Não faça idéias erradas de mim • Só porque eu quero você tanto assim • Eu gosto de você mas não me esqueço • De tudo quanto valho e mereço

Não pense que se você me deixar • A dor será capaz de me matar • De um verdadeiro amor não se aproveita • E não se faz senão aquilo que enobrece • Depois se ele se vai, a gente aceita • A gente bebe, a gente chora, mas esquece

Song No. 55 — Ternura Antiga | Ribamar & Dolores Duran (1960)

Ternura Antiga was introduced in late 1960 by Lucienne Franco at the Festival das Dez Mais Lindas Canções de Amor, issued on record as Festival do Rio – As Dez Mais Lindas Canções de Amor..

At the end of 1959, after Dolores Duran had died at the age of only 29, her friend Marisa Gata Mansa gave the composer and pianist Ribamar an unfinished poem by Duran with the request to compose a song in memory of her. The resulting Ternura Antiga was introduced with the emotive recording of Luciene Habib Franco Freitas Câmara, who was little known at the time.

The Festival das Dez Mais Lindas Canções de Amor, sponsored by the Copacabana record label and hosted by TV Rio, was one of the first singing and composing competitions that would gain enormous popularity in the following years. The final took place on 10 November 1960 at the Tijuca Tênis Clube in Rio de Janeiro and presented the ten songs that had qualified among the more than 1000 contest entries, performed by Miltinho, Jorge Goulart, Zezé Gonzaga, Roberto Silva, Ernani Filho, Carlos José, Agnaldo Rayol, Lenita Bruno. Lucienne Franco and Ted Moreno.

Ternura Antiga was critically acclaimed, although the song came second, losing out to Canção em Tom Maior, written by Ary Barroso and sung by Ted Moreno. Interestingly, despite this success, Lucienne Franco’s original was only released in March 1961 as a B-side to Poema do Adeus – her version of Miltinho’s competition entry. This may be the reason why Tito Madi’s recording became the most successful version of Ternura Antiga and one of the big hits of 1961.

José Pacheco Lins aka Pachequinho’s sensitive arrangement of the original was reused on both his own recording of Ternura Antiga and Lucienne Franco’s re-recording with French lyrics titled Anciene Tendresse.

Among the finest interpretations are undoubtedly those of Elza Laranjeira, Tito Madi, Nelson Gonçalves and Altemar Dutra, and among the instrumental versions, that of Araken Peixoto with his muted trumpet. Ribamar himself did not record Ternura Antiga until 1969, when he dedicated an entire album to the songs of Dolores Duran.

TERNURA ANTIGA

Ai, a rua escura, o vento frio • Esta saudade, este vazio • Esta vontade de chorar

Ai, tua distância tão amiga • Esta ternura tão antiga • E o desencanto de esperar

Sim, eu não te amo porque quero • Ai, se eu pudesse esqueceria • Vivo, e vivo só porque te espero • Ai, esta amargura, esta agonia

Song No. 21 — Pela Rua | Ribamar & Dolores Duran (1959)

Pela Rua was introduced by Alaíde Costa in March of 1959 as a-side to Vontade de Chorar, accompanying her debut album Gosto de Você. The only other single release was issued by Tito Madi in August 1959 as b-side to Minha Canção de Amor, taken from his album Quero-te Assim.

The melancholy samba canção enjoyed only moderate success, however, it is definitely one of the most memorable songs of the late Adiléia Silva da Rocha aka Dolores Duran who died of a heart attack in October of 1959 at the age of 29, probably in consequence of a barbiturate overdose.

Marisa Gata Mansa, a close friend of Duran, made the third recording of Pela Rua which was also inlcuded the same year on Á Musica de Dolores, the tribute album issued by Duran’s label Copacabana, featuring some of Duran’s recordings as well as interpretations by Roberto Audi, Morgana, Marisa Gata Mansa and Agnaldo Rayol.

1960 saw two of the most striking interpretations of Pela Rua when Elizeth Cardoso recorded her quite lengthy version featuring Moacyr Silva’s tenor saxophone, and Lúcio Alves included the song on his tribute album A Noite de Meu Bem with a quintet featuring Luiz Carlos Vinhas on piano, Chiquinho do Acordeom and Baden Powell on guitar.

Unfortunately, Dolores Duran never recorded Pela Rua herself.

PELA RUA

No ar parado passou um lamento • Riscou a noite e desapareceu • Depois a lua ficou mais sozinha • Foi ficando triste e também se escondeu

Na minha vida uma saudade meiga • Soluçou baixinho • No meu olhar • Um mundo de tristeza veio se aninhar • Minha canção ficou assim sem jeito • Cheia de desejos • E eu fui andando pela rua escura • Pra poder chorar

This double-page spread from the book features Ribamar and his most successful composition.

Composer, accordionist and pianist José Ribamar Pereira da Silva (1919–1987) started his professional career in 1950 as accompanist for singer Dolores Duran, with whom he also wrote a number of songs which soon became standards, such as Pela Rua, Quem Foi, Se Eu Tiver and Idéias Erradas.

In 1952, while he was supporting several acts including Fafá Lemos, his bolero Duas Vidas, sung by Fernando Barreto, became his first success as a composer. In the mid-fifties, his appearances with singer Tito Madi made both a very popular duo in the night club circuit of Rio de Janeiro.

Pela Rua was the first of his collaborations with Dolores Duran as composer and lyricist. The song, introduced by Alaíde Costa in 1959, had one of its most memorable recordings by Elizeth Cardoso on her 1960 album A Meiga Elizeth.

In 1959, when Dolores Duran died at the age of only 29, her friend Marisa Gata Mansa gave an unfinished poem of Duran to Ribamar in order to compose a song in remembrance of her. The result was the wonderful Ternura Antiga, introduced with a highly emotional interpretation by Lucienne Franco at the 1960 Festival das Dez Mais Lindas Canções de Amor at TV Rio. Ternura Antiga became Ribamars most successful composition, recorded more than 70 times by artists like Paulo Alencar, Nelson Gonçalves, Roberto Audi and Elza Laranjeira.

Ribamar recorded nine albums from 1956 to 1976 including Carinho e Amor (1960) with singer Tito Madi and Ribamar & Zito Righi (1963) with saxophonist Zito Righi.
