"... there were many people in the U.S. who recorded bolero. Nat King Cole was one of them, Perry Como sang boleros, there were many in that vein. There was a very good interaction between the style and the Brazilian romantic songs too, of before the bossa nova era. They kind of travelled together, even Jobim wrote boleros. In Brazil actually they got very big and before the bossa nova, the samba cancao of Brazil had a form that had a bit of that influence too, a certain laid-back pulse. Robert Caras became so big in the 1960's ... his style was developed from the traditional Brazilian song form (samba-cancao) and the bolero..."~ Carlos Barbosa-Lima
