Silvo Silvera and his Brazilian Orchestra
(Miguel Gustavo, Plan Two ASCAP)
Barclay 300
Written by Miguel Gustavo. First released in Brazil in December 1960 by Jorge Veiga on Copacabana, it was an international hit on Barclay the year after. Many, many versions followed. A lot are available on YouTube (links below), but not this Silvio Silvera version and also my favorite.

The couple who never was
Hey John, wherever you are. I'm not a big expert of Photoshop,
but here it is : you and B.B. on the cover of Two Virgins!
That's how it should have been.
