Elizeth Cardoso
16/07/1920
07/05/1990
She started singing as a child, in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, and charged an admittance fee from the other children who wanted to hear her sing. Elizeth was discovered by the time she was 16 y.o. by Jacob do Bandolim, who introduced her on radio shows. In the 30s and 40s, she worked as a crooner in various radio stations and nightclubs, and had her first hit, "Canção de Amor" (Chocolate/ Elano de Paula). In 1958, she recorded the anthological album "Canção do Amor Demais", with Jobim/Moraes songs and regarded as the bossa nova milestone. In the following year, she kept working with bossa nova composers and recorded songs for Marcel Camus’ film "Orfeu do Carnaval". In the 60s, she hosted her own radio show. Her connection to samba increased, and she made the LP "Elizeth Sobe o Morro", one her most important albums – besides "A Enluarada Elizeth", which featured Pixinguinha, Cartola and Clementina de Jesus as guest stars. In 1968 she participated in a show that established the height of her career, with Jacob do Bandolim, Época de Ouro and Zimbo Trio. The concert was turned into a double LP. In the 70s, she performed in Japan, where today the public can find CDs with tracks unavailable in Brazil.
