'The Girl from Ipanema' singer Astrud Gilberto passes away at 83.

Brazilian singer-songwriter Astrud Gilberto, who rose to fame with the 1964 hit "The Girl from Ipanema," has died at the age of 83. Gilberto became an overnight sensation after being recruited by the makers of the classic bossa nova album "Getz/Gilberto," featuring saxophonist Stan Getz and her then-husband, singer-songwriter-guitarist João Gilberto. "The Girl from Ipanema" became an all-time standard and won a Grammy in 1965 for record of the year. Gilberto released eight albums and made just seven more before retiring from the business and dedicating her latter years to animal rights activism and a career in the visual arts.
