Jobim's roots were planted firmly in the works of Pixinguinha, a legendary musician and composer who, in the 1930s, began the development of modern Brazilian music. He was also influenced by the music of French composer Claude Debussy and by jazz.
Jobim found prominence when he teamed up with writer and poet Vinicius de Moraes in providing part of the music for the play Orfeu de Carnaval (1956), that later gained wide recognition in the film Black Orpheus. The lyrics for his most popular songs were written by de Moraes.
American jazz singers Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra prominently featured Jobim's songs on their albums Ella Abraca Jobim (1981) and Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967), respectively. Jobim is recognized the world over as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. His first album, Sinfonia Do Rio De Janeiro, was recorded in 1954, with Billy Blanco.
Jobim was buried in the Cemitério São João Batista in Rio de Janeiro. The International Airport of Rio de Janeiro is now named in his honor.

Wave
by Antônio Carlos Jobim
So close your eyes
For that's a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
Together
You can't deny, don't try to fight the rising sea
Don't fight the moon, the stars above, don't fight me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
Together
When I saw you first, the time was half past three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on it's way to be
Just catch the wave, don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
Together
When I saw you first, the time was half past three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on it's way to be
Just catch that wave, don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
Together
Together
