When my husband and I started dating, he would have me over to his apartment and we would listen to Michael Franks, Kenny Rankin, and Dan Fogelberg albums. How could I not fall in love? Close to 39 years and we still listen this music. ❤❤❤
That's special you guys have what most of us wish and could only dream of having I felt that way about a young lady once the u s marine corps got in the way those 2 years with her I've been looking for for 40 years or so you guys are blessed
@@AllouApril2011 - I didn't really follow Larry Carlton's journey. He was an absolute monster on guitar. It was sad that the shooting incident did have a major impact on him. He's an amazing guy!!
I went to Brasil when I listened to this tune often enough. I started playing it on my turntable in 1976 in San Diego... two years later, I was down in Brasil, living the Brasilian life for more that two months. Those people are just like M F's song! I will go there again. Thank you for this song, Michael......love.
💕 Down in Brazil It takes a day to walk a mile Time just stand still And when the people you meet look at you they smile They still believe in style They serve you with their sambas 'til You really know you're down in ol' Brazil You can tell you're down in ol' Brazil Down in Brazil They've never heard of win or lose If you can't feel Then all those cafe ole girls in high heel shoes Will really cure your blues It seems they all just aim to please Those women sway like wind in my banana trees Then you know you're down in ol' Brazil Down in Brazil They know a million ways to play You start to feel And when you're happy It's the same as when you pray You'd think you get away Then you know you never will Now when you've been down in ol' Brazil Now when you are down in ol' Brazil Down in ol' Brazil Down in ol' Brazil Down in ol' Brazil Down in ol' Brazil
Boy am I proud to be old school.....Michael Franks is just great....'Popsicle toes' and Eggplant' to name two so smooth almost slipped off the Danish deluxe...
My kids were born in 90, 91, 93,97. They heard Michael Franks to the baby sitter, day care, middle school right on through HS and College. They're skilled piano players, fluent with the cello and vocals and two received musical scholarships to get into college and converted afterwards. Today they are music lovers with Michael Franks as their cornerstone and go to music for serious chill relaxing and romance especially when in Central and South America.
In listening to Michael franks I can't help but go back to Michael, the love of my life. He introduced me to franks. How I wish things had turned out differently❤
I’m back in Bali listening to Michael Franks. I always feel compelled to listen to his music when I am in Indonesia. Why? First heard his music 40 years ago when I was on Samosir Island, Lake Toba in Sumatra. His wonderful music came floating over the water. We called out to the group on the other side of the lake ‘Who is the singer?’ and they yelled back ‘Michael Franks’. Every time I hear this song it takes me back to that moment forty years ago.
Decided this summer to go to brazil alone.. Before moving to japan.. this song is so much different when you here it on dates in rio, near copacobana, eating healthy, getting sun, smiling.
This is such a sweet song, takes your mind to places you want to go and dream about, with that latin beat, Michael's sweet rhythm voice. Amazing. Larry Carlton on guitar compliments Michael's singing.
Mon meilleur ami, mon frère, est mort il y a quatre jours, d'un cancer foudroyant. Comme nous communiquions par WhatsApp, c'est la dernière chanson que je lui ai envoyée alors qu'il était en soins palliatifs à l'hôpital...Désormais et pour toujours, il habitera, pour moi, ce Brésil fantasmé où la nature est belle, les gens beaux et dont on ne peut sortir... Jusqu'au jour où j'irai le rejoindre...Merci, Michael, de toute cette splendeur qui nous convainct qu'un Paradis existe bien quelque part...
1980 and a friend did a compilation tape of jazz+funk+soul+fusion.idown in brazil was included. fell in love with michael franks music and the sounds of brazil+bossa+latin.michael has recorded some amazing albums over the years and his personal love for bossa has always been there.he is a truly unique talent.
Bad ass guitar and keyboard solo, to bad people don't get it , they're missing out, Michael Franks plays with the best musicians in the world, it's sad people don't have better ears and taste for more sophisticated music, oh well different strokes for different folks..

Down In Brazil.. I love this song very much! I don't care about my neighbors, it's once in a lifetime kind of music. I feel relaxed and in the mood again as well as thinking my good moments and memories. Feel so good . Chuck M. Lol.
Something about this song. Michael Franks has a way, and magical vibe hereI I often imagined going to Brazil when learning Jui-Jitsu, my teacher and friends (from Brazil) wanted me to go,I still regret that...
how tyler has just given 1 million people the chance to encounter this amazing music is amazing. using his power greatly. so amazing. im going to look deeper now
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ...I like how the writer of this song discribes what he or she saw and experienced when they were there at that time ..on that day...in that year . Absolutely Beautiful this song is ..and Thank you for makin it .
A Guernsey cow was munching his hay by an open window one day, and the lonely farmer looked out and asked "what d'you think of ol' Michael Franks Bessie?" Bessie looked up and stared at the farmer in the way that only a cow can, and said "SMOOOOOOOOTH"- and then resumed the chewing of grass, and the day dawned Brite, the way it always should. :~)

So true!
Amen.
Those were the days and we thought they would never end!!

I heard this song blasting in my university cafeteria one morning and I INSTANTLY fell in love with it
💕
Down in Brazil
It takes a day to walk a mile
Time just stand still
And when the people you meet look at you they smile
They still believe in style
They serve you with their sambas 'til
You really know you're down in ol' Brazil
You can tell you're down in ol' Brazil
Down in Brazil
They've never heard of win or lose
If you can't feel
Then all those cafe ole girls in high heel shoes
Will really cure your blues
It seems they all just aim to please
Those women sway like wind in my banana trees
Then you know you're down in ol' Brazil
Down in Brazil
They know a million ways to play
You start to feel
And when you're happy
It's the same as when you pray
You'd think you get away
Then you know you never will
Now when you've been down in ol' Brazil
Now when you are down in ol' Brazil
Down in ol' Brazil
Down in ol' Brazil
Down in ol' Brazil
Down in ol' Brazil
.
\\Lp
apart from being delightful to listen to - terrific backing - - piano - guitar percussion etc. i love it all.

I LOVE MICHAEL FRANKS❤ SO SMOOTH, SO COOL❤
Brazil in the 70’s must have been paradise...
My friend franks, really happy to find you again. Pleasure
michael franks you're amazing!

Brings peace and a tropical feeling anywhere you listen. Love it
Michael Franks was my “Go to” music back in my single days of youth, wine, women, and you know the rest. Instant panty remover… 😅
Ditto if nothing else break out Michael Franks n glasses of fine, 😘
Driving through pacific hwy at night..wow memorie
Close to a lifetime of this smoultchy (is that a word)funky groove and it's still workin' for me.
Every time I listen to this a bunch of theync's videos pops up in my mind
Best guitar solo of all time. Larry Carlton...
So true.l have spent many trying to learn this solo. I now know there is only one Larry Carlton and it's not going to be me.
2nd best---First is Earl Klugh at the end of the song Innuendo.
I just discover the beautiful music of Michael fanks last year. and now I can't stop playing his music. He has beautiful soft voice.
Ever so smooth and relaxing, thank you Michael Frank's your music is always and forever timeless *****
Michael Frank's style reminds me of the Bossa Nova groups/artists from the 60s and 70s 👍
True, can you recommend some that maybe I havent heard of

I’ve talked with pianist friend of Tom that said the Michael and Tom were also good friends.
Michael composed many excellent tunes but this one stands head and shoulders above all the rest!!!
Though I'm a fan of this song, " Rainy Night In Tokyo" is special.
Wow this song right here brings me members I was really little when my mother use to play this to me I miss that
His voice!! My god!!
