Taken from Maia's fourth solo LP, it's got this whole lounge thing happening. In the meantime, Allen Thayer (the guy who started us on all of this) has submitted the Brazilian remake Maia did of the Ideals' song back in 1973: New LoveĪs Allen said, "it's not my favorite song of Tim's," but maybe it will jog somebody's memory. OK folks, we've had some input here (although some of it is in Portugese), and it looks like Tim's son Carmelo will be joining us in our quest. He was also an absolute trip! The Ideals 45 is kind of like a 'holy grail' to fans of this music.
This guy was indeed larger than life, and personally responsible for importing real soul music to Brazil. OK, detectives, you really have to check out the Tim Maia story. There is a Tim Maia compilation coming out on Luaka Bop next year that I helped work on. The style of the group was probably Doo-wop and Tim may or may not have sung lead with his deep voice and possible portuguese accent. My only problem is that sometimes I lie a little." (Often said with a joint in hand) He is also known for saying, "I don't burn, I don't snort, and I don't drink. I have never found anything to confirm the existence of this record other than Tim Maia's insistence that he recorded it during his time in the US.
He claims to have recorded a song he later re-recorded in Brazil, called "New Love." He claims to have founded a multi-racial group called "The Ideals" during this time, either living in Tarrytown, NY or maybe even NYC. During this time in the states he sang with a couple of vocal groups. before returning to Brazil and launching his career in earnest. I'm a huge fan of Brazilian soul music (yes, it does exist with quite a catalogue to support the claim too) and the giant in this field is known as Tim Maia.
