Joining Mendes are Common, Quincy Jones, John Legend, singer\/songwriter\/producer will.i.am, Herb Alpert, Lani Hall (lead singer of Brasil \u201966), Gracinha Mendes (Sergio\u2019s lead singer since 1971 and his wife of 46 years), Jerry Moss, and Carlos Saldhana (Oscar-nominated filmmaker of&nbsp;<em>Rio<\/em>).

The group played a huge role in popularizing Brazilian music around the world, and at the same time created his own genre by fusing Brazilian music with American pop. He continued to produce hits, decade after decade, staying current and relevant while staying true to his unique sound.&nbsp;One of the most internationally successful Brazilian artists of all time, Mendes is a three-time Grammy Award winner with some 35 albums, including many gold or platinum, including the critically acclaimed&nbsp;<em>Timeless<\/em>, produced by will.i.am. Hit singles include&nbsp;<em>Mas Que Nada<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>The Look of Love<\/em>, <em>Scarborough Fair<\/em>, <em>Night and Day<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Never Gonna Let You Go<\/em>&nbsp;and his unforgettable rendition of&nbsp;<em>Fool on the Hill.&nbsp;<\/em>In 2012, Sergio\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Real in Rio<\/em>&nbsp;from the animated film \u201cRio\u201d was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Original Song.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cSergio\u2019s warmth, humor and appreciation of life through all the senses made me feel a strong connection with him and I want others to feel the same way,\u201d says director Scheinfeld. \u201cHis life is an exceptional blend of encounters, spontaneity and serendipity and makes him an irresistible subject for a film.\u201d&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about Sergio Mendes, this special program and international access to the full documentary, please visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001kG1x7OLhavqDaD6hNfLhiE4BzG_bkJRiYLSMvMfEuMeDC1IF1zlYB0SiqE1a-aDQwPlaFgFdC4fZ_VJLlgZZVvvbj5M2CRAb86IE7LA7Mx-RUyZs6mZe1mdVoGJYfm_HtEbDOhMORZy3FFc3z9NwjgSXiH6judy_&amp;c=mGFJyrNpiuU8faAdWLpueZNv1uGFoumVjyjNEQslfoe5TlsdBsNCdQ==&amp;ch=BXF7ZpC5jEWu7K8k76DEqlDThfw_odEpDngGRSbPYyIdms0whBAsFA==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SergioMendesMusic.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PBS is set to premier what they call a &#8220;joyfully tuneful salute&#8221; to Brazilian musical pioneer &#8211; Sergio Mendes &#8211; with, Sergio Mendes &amp; Friends: A Celebration in June.
