For a quick sense of his style, try 'A Conquista' from 1975 or 'Psicopata do Amor'. They both have that mix of samba and soul he was known for.
He came from Itabuna, Bahia, and his song 'A Conquista' became a hit in Brazil in 1975. That track, produced by Osvaldo Nunes, shows how he blended Brazilian rhythms like samba with soulful melodies. Songs like 'Psicopata do Amor' and 'Traficante do Amor' kept that sound going for years.
He started singing early and released his self-titled album in 1975, which included 'A Conquista'. Later albums like 'O Tempo Não Para' in 1984 came out as he kept performing and recording.
