Overview Edit

"Crickets Sing for Anamaria" was originally a track from Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto's 1965 album Takin' Verve, and was produced by the Homali Brothers, a Brazilian Latin jazz pop production team. The song was a minor hit in South America, but it became even bigger when the track was re-worked by Brazilian bossa nova musician Marcos Valle in 1967, under the title "Os Grilos" (Portuguese for "The Crickets"), which was featured on his album Samba '68. The song is cited as a popular Latin jazz favourite to this day.

3 stars When Anyone's In Love...
This single was Emma's worst seller. It did go higher than "We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight" by 5 chart positions (Crickets = #15, Sleep = #20). As great as the song was, this specific CD was a dud. CD #2 was better.

SONG: AWESOME! Emma rocks out the latin vibe better than fellow Spicer, Geri! And Geri's latina! I love the bouncy, dancy mood this puts a person in. I'm in love with this.
