A Brazilian singer who turned an Italian song into a Portuguese-language hit in the 1970s.
For a quick sense of his sound, start with 'Um Sonho de Amor' and 'Prisioneiro.' They frame that early hit and a bit of his own material.
Lima's Portuguese adaptation of 'Un Gatto Nel Blu' became 'Um Sonho de Amor,' a track that found an audience in Brazil, Portugal, and Italy. Songs like 'Prisioneiro' and 'Cada volta é um recomeço' show he built a catalog beyond that one cover. He kept recording for decades, with albums from 1974 into the 2020s.
He first got noticed as the lead singer for Os Incríveis in the early 1970s. After his self-titled debut in 1974, he released 'Um Sonho de Amor' in 1976 and kept putting out records like 'Acústico' in 1994 and 'Duetos' in 2012.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
