"Chega de Saudade" single enters the Grammy Hall of Fame

In 2000 João Gilberto's 1958 single "Chega de Saudade" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, an honor reserved for recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance. The induction formally recognized the disc as a turning point in twentieth-century popular music. It honored the modest two-track record that first carried bossa nova to listeners.
