American record producer, Stan Getz, and Brazilian singer, Astrud Gilberto were once in a romantic relationship. According to some sources, Astrud was married to Joaa, who was also a close friend of Getz, while having another affair with Getz.

Her relationship with Getz musically was quite, strange. Astrud got her breakthrough in 1964 after the release of the single The Girl from Ipanema, which omitted the Portuguese lyrics sung by Joao Gilberto and established Astrud as a Bossa Nova Singer.

Even though the song raked in over one million sales, some sources claim that Astrud was paid only a standard session fee of $120. According to Gene Lees, Getz specifically asked producer Creed Taylor to ensure Astrud gets nothing out of the global hit song.
