There, [[Herb Alpert]] picked him up and sent him to [[Los Angles]] where Sergio formed Brasil 66.==Brasil 66== When Beatlemania was at its full height, Sergio Mendes formed an act which would be better elevator music than [[Lawrence Welk]]. Sergio Mendes said that there will be no accordions on his album, but a concertina was acceptable.Sergio's fame became big when he would do music for [[James Bond]] films since [[Sean Connery]] was a great fan of his music and would not put earmuffs on.Burt Bacrach has made songs for Sergio Mendes after the 1967 film \"Casino Royale\", but after that Mendes found himself working with [[Nilsson]] for some reason.After 1967, Mendes albums have been long gone because [[Austin Powers]] bought all of his albums, but in 1969 Mendes had another hit album.==Brasil 76==Sergio Mendes returned to Brazil since he was unpopular. He tried to become the President of Brazil since the music industry in Brazil didn't care for him either.Sergio was an influence of [[Joseph Stalin]] and [[John F. Kennedy]] so he wanted Brazil to be a leftist country more than it was before.His reign didn't last long since on one cared. So Sergio became an Ambassador of America.==Brasil 86==Sergio Mendes made disco music in the 70's, but he made disco music in 1979. But he made a hit called \"Never Gonna Let You Go\" which was sung by Michael McDonald and Linda Ronstadt.==Brasil 96==Sergio Mendes tried again to become a Brazilian leader. This time, he succeeded and he became the President of Brazil for 10 years.His controversial move was to have [[The Simpsons]] fight against the Brazilian Soccer Team since they have desecrated everything from the falevas with \"El Barto\" all over them to all the feijoada at the Carnival. This was unsuccessful and Brazil never recovered after that.==Brasil 06==Sergio Mendes returned to America as an exile and he made it better than he did before by hosting the Latin Grammy's. However, no one understood him since he spoke Portuguese."@en . . "1"^^ . . . . . "Sergio Mendes"@en . . "Sergio Mendes"@en . "Musician, Songwriter"@en .
