Editor's note

Maysa, the Brazilian singer with a haunting voice

Her version of 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' is one of her most recognized performances.

For a quick sense of her, put on 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' and 'Demais.' They frame that voice pretty well.

Maysa's take on 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' is the kind of recording that sticks with you long after it ends. She had a way with both Brazilian songs like 'Demais' and international standards that felt lived-in, not just polished. That voice carried a weight that made even familiar material sound newly personal.

Her debut album 'Maysa É Maysa' arrived in 1960, and she kept recording through the 1970s, working with Vinicius de Moraes on 'Barquinho' in 1970. By 1979, she was still interpreting songs like 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' on the album 'Maysa Canta Luiz Melodia.'
