Artist Links
The principal writer of versions of Brazilian rock, composer Fred Jorge had his works recorded by important interpreters both abroad (Ornella Vanoni, Sacha Distel, Teddy Reno, Connie Francis) and in Brazil (Leny Eversong, Caubi Peixoto, Altemar Dutra, Carlos Gonzaga, Ronnie Von, Sérgio Reis, and Antônio Marcos). His first composition to be recorded was "Velha Paineira," interpreted by Carlos Gonzaga in 1946. One of his biggest smashes was his version of "Diana" (Paul Anka), recorded by Carlos Gonzaga in 1952. Several other successful versions came next, like "Estúpido Cupido" (by Neil Sedaka/H. Greenfield, it was the first national Brazilian rock hit and a historic mark) and "Banho de Lua" (P. de Phillippi/F. Migliacci), both recorded by Celly Campelo; "A Casa do Sol Nascente" (North-American folklore), recorded by Agnaldo Timóteo; and "Qual a Razão" (version of "Day Tripper" recorded by the Brazilian Bitles that was the best-selling album of Polydor in late 1966). After 1970, he started to compose for Roberto Carlos, who recorded several of his songs. Fred Jorge also became a successful producer. ~ Alvaro Neder
