Yet another story of a brilliant woman musician who was manipulated and cheated by the men closest to her. Gilberto sees none of the benefits of her art that made others rich.

I'd love to see a film about her along the lines of I, Tina and What Happened, Miss Simone?

‘He made sure that she got nothing’: The sad story of Astrud Gilberto, the face of bossa nova

Without the 22-year-old’s voice, ‘The Girl From Ipanema’ would not have become the phenomenon it did – but mistreatment, misogyny and lack of compensation wore her down, writes Martin Chilton

Thanks but I will not "register to continue reading," since the last time I did that for some innocent-seeming paper, it took me a month to clean all the subsequent spam out of my inbox. :/

@ruby Fairuz, the arabic diva from Lebanon had exactly the same problem with her male musicians.
They stripped her off all her copyrights, and just because she was a woman, she is aging with so little money compared to all she sang.
