Career

Childhood

Roberto Carlos Braga was born in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, in the southern part of Brazil's Esprito Santo's southern part. He is the fourth and last son of watchmaker Robertino Braga (March 27, 1896 – January 27, 1980) and seamstress Laura Moreira Braga (April 10, 1914 – April 17, 2010). The family lived in a modest house on the roof of a hill in Nook's Nook neighborhood. His siblings, Lauro Braga, Carlos Alberto Moreira Braga, and Norminha were among his siblings. Roberto Carlos was struck by a steam locomotive during the feast of St Peter, the patron saint of Cachoeiro do Itapemirim, and had to have his right leg amputated just below his knee. He still uses a prosthesis but avoids discussing it.

He learned to play guitar and piano as a child, first with his mother and then with the Itapemirim Music Conservatory. He appeared on a children's show broadcast by Rádio Cachoeiro for the first time (he sang a bolero called "Mal Amor" at 9 years old). The first prize was won by Candies. Years later, he recalled the moment when Roberto Carlos Up Close by Paulo Cesar de Araujo said, "I was so afraid, but so glad to be able to sing on the radio." I had a lot of candies, which was the grand prize for the kids who had performed there. It was a glorious day. He performed on that particular show as a regular performer.

He rose to prominence as the main figure of the 1950s and 1960s musical movement, Jovem Guarda (or Young Guard), which was a spin off from another television program, inspired by Elvis Presley's influence and the 1950s rock revival. The first manifestation of the Brazilian pop rock movement, "Jovem Guarda," was released. Roberto Carlos has been known as "the King" since then.

When Roberto Carlos' first single and first LP (Louco por era, 1961) were commercial failures, he was in danger of being booted from CBS in favour of Sérgio Murilo, Brazil's first commercial rock singer. Murilo, on the other hand, was fired for arguing with musical director Evandro Ribeiro over repertoire and compensation, opening up space for Roberto Carlos. Roberto Carlos appeared in a few motion pictures directed by Roberto Farias, many of whom were heavily inspired by the Beatles' films during his first decade of recording.

Jovem Guarda

Roberto Carlos argued against investing time in youth entertainment, rock, and pop, and Splash, a 1962 film from Splish Splash, released in 1962. Roberto, along with his buddy Erasmo Carlos, released Portuguese versions of pop songs and wrote his own songs, including "Parei Na Contramo," which became a big hit. With the album É Proibido Fumar, the singer returned to the charts the following year, with the song "O Calhambeque" being the most notable. Thus was born the Jovem Guarda (TV Show).

Roberto Carlos, a nationally recognized television presenter, joined Jovem Guarda TV in 1965 as a host, as well as Erasmo Carlos and Wanderléa. The programme also popularized the pop rock movement in Brazil by establishing the artist, who became one of the early Brazilian artists, who became one of the first idols of the young Brazilian youth. Roberto Carlos Canta Para A Juventude, "A Estoria Do Homem Mau," "Eu Sou F Do Monoquini," "Las tudo," "Oce Fa Familia," "Leyo Mau," "Get-lio," "A Feio," "Oce Nu M" and "Eu Nó Quero Fé Pá Mim" were released in 1965, and "Mo Mo Mo Mote" and "A Numo

Roberto Carlos à Noite", "Opus 7," "Jovem Guarda em Alta Tenso," and "Todos os Mundo" in 1966, were among the programs that were short-lived. A fight that almost ended the collaboration between him and Erasmo would be recalled this year. The reason for the break was due to a flop in the production of the "Show in Si Monal..." TV Series, which paid homage to Erasmo. The aim of the performance was to showcase "Parei na Contramo" and "Quero Que Vá Tudo Pro Inferno." The controversy was triggered because of these songs' collaboration with Roberto Carlos, but the responsibility was not given to Erasmo. The two quarreled, and the relationship was put on hold for more than a year. "We There Yet?" Roberto wrote at this time. On the album "Roberto Carlos" (Getlio Cortes), "Eu Te Darei O Céu") and "Nossa Canço" (Luiz Ayro), "Namoradinha de Um Amigo Meu) were among the hits that were released that year (Milio Ayro) and "Nossa Canço) (Luiz Ayro) and "Ne ei

The friendship between Roberto and Erasmo was shaken in 1967, although the two groups were still on display – as well as Wanderléa. "Como É Grande Meu Amor Por Você," "Corro Demais," "Quando," and "De valet tudo isso?" Roberto wrote his own hits, including "De vain tudo isso?" "The LP "Roberto Carlos em Ritmo de Aventura" soundtrack of a film with the same name was released the following year, and it would be published on the LP "Roberto Carlos em Ritmo de Aventura" soundtrack. Roberto Carlos was the protagonist in the film, which also had José Lewgoy and Reginaldo Faria in the cast. The film became a box office hit in Brazil's cinema. Roberto was unable to finish the script for "Eu Sou Terrvel," which was supposed to be the film's starting music, due to his numerous freelance commitments. Erasmo Carlos, the composer who helped finalize the lyrics, was he asked his former companion Erasmo Carlos. Thus, friendship and cooperation between the two individuals has resurfaced. Roberto Carlos made his first appearance in Cannes (France) in 2005 and appeared in numerous Brazilian Pop Music festivals later this year. With the album "Maria Carnaval e Cinzas," he came in fifth place (Lu's Carlos Paraná). Several people were outraged by the presence of a Jovem Guarda symbol.

The LP O Inimitável was released in 1968. The album was a tumultuous journey in the singer's career, with influences such as "Eu Te Amo," "Meu Te Amo," "As Cançe Nu Nu Nu Nu Vo Só" (Luiz Ayr) and "As Cançe Pensa") (Te Amo) and "As Cançe Fe Fe Meu" (Marcos Antonio). Roberto Carlos became the first and only Brazilian to win the Festival of San Remo (Italy), with the song "Canzone Per Te," Sergio Endrigo and Sergio Bardotti. In 1969, the singer would change his look and eventually stopped naming his albums. Instead of the traditional themes typical of the Jovem Guarda youth, Roberto Carlos' album was marked by a greater romanticism. "As Curvas da Estrada De Santos," "Sua Estupidez," "Sua Estupidez," and "As Flores do Jardim de Nossa Casa" are two of the LP's most popular programs, including "As Curvas da Estrada De Santos." He appeared in Roberto Carlos e o Diamante Cor-de-rosa, Roberto Farias' second film directed by Roberto Farias, which had a new hit at the box office later this year.

Roberto Carlos' reputation as a romantic artist in Brazil and abroad was forged by the end of the 1970s, as the result of the Jovem Guarda's dissolution and the boosting of his fame as a romantic artist in Brazil and abroad (USA, Europe, and Latin America). The singer rose to fame by selling the most albums in the country. Julio Iglesias, Caravelli, and Ray Conniff recorded several of his songs. In 1970, the singer appeared in Caneco for a series of shows. "Ana," "Veste A Roupa Meu Bem," and "Jesus Cristo," two songs that also reflected his devotion to faith later this year.

Roberto Carlos a 300 km Por Hora, the singer's last film to be released in the United States, was also a huge hit in the United States. "Detalhes," "Todos Esto Surdos," "Debaixo dos Caracóis dos Seus Cabelos," "homage to Caetano Veloso") and "Como Dois E Dois" were both released in 1971, Caetano (Caetano). In addition to being the first LP to reach the milestone of one million copies sold, the 1972 album "A Montanha," "Como Vai Você," and "Quando As Crianças Sarem de Férias" also featured on "Recording" and "Proposta." TV Globo aired a special edition with a celebrity on December 24, 1974, which attracted huge audiences. The program will begin each year and will be broadcast at the end of each year. He released another album in the same year, with hits like "O Porto" and "Eu Quero Apenas."

With "Além do Horizonte" and a reversal of his 1965 song "Quero Que Vai Pro Inferno," the 1975 album had a hit. In the following year, the singer will record the new album in the CBS Studios in New York. "Ilegal, Imoral e Engorda" and "Os Seus Botes" were two of the album's songs. Roberto Carlos' annual album was released in 1977, with hits including "Amigo" (an homage to Erasmo Carlos), "Muito Romântico" (Caetano Veloso) and "Cavalgada" debuting on the charts, including "Muito Romântico" (Caetano Veloso) and "Cavalgada). "Café da Manh," "Forte Estranha" (Caetano Veloso) and "Lady Laura" were two songs dedicated to his mother. The album was sold in 1,500,000 copies. Roberto Carlos' shows were also well-received in comparison to albums that have sold more than 1 million copies a year; in 1978, the singer toured the country for six months, almost with packed houses. When Pope John Paul II visited Mexico in 1979, he was welcomed with the song "Amigo," performed by a group of children. Hundreds of millions of viewers around the world were treated live to hundreds of millions of people. Roberto has also participated in the UN International Year of the Child.

He participated in another campaign in the early 1980s, this time for the International Year of the Disabled. In 1981, the singer appeared on international tours and recorded the first English album; others would be released in Spanish, Italian, and French. He also produced "Emoçes," "Cama e Mesa," and "As Baleias," among other things on the annual album. Maria Bethânia performed in the duet "Amiga" in 1982. It was the first time the singer had invited another artist to perform on the CD. Roberto Carlos (1982) had the hit song "Fera Ferida," another effort with Erasmo.

Carlos changed to a more focused, mature-oriented style to singing in his homeland and Latin America, as well as Portugal, Spain, and Italy, after his first decade of success. Roberto Carlos began recording in English and French in the 1980s (he had already recorded albums in Spanish, Italian, and, naturally, Portuguese). He went on to win the Globo de Cristal trophy, which was given to Brazilian artists who have sold more than five million copies outside of Brazil. His albums also fell short of record-breaking sales in his homeland. Caminhoneiro (1984) aired 3,000 times in a single day, the next day being surpassed by his own Verde e Amarelo (1985), with 3,500 airings. He appeared in Cantarê, cantarás, as a child in Latin America in 1985, he performed with Julio Iglesias, Gloria Estefan, Jose Feliciano, Plácido Domingo, Cheech Marin, and Menudo, among other things.

He performed hits like "Outra Vez" with Simone in the annual Rede Globo edition.

Carlos appeared at Radio City Music Hall in New York in 1986 and two years later became one of the few Brazilians to win a Grammy Award in the category of Best Latin Pop Album with Roberto Carlos / Tolo. Roberto Carlos had to rewrite the disc recording and care for his wife hospitalized in So Paulo in 1998 due to his wife Maria Rita's illness. His annual album, which was almost unveiled, featured only four new songs, including "O Baile da Fazenda," a special Dominguinhos collaboration with Erasmo Carlos, as well as "O Baile da Fazenda." Maria Rita's poor health in 1999, as well as her death in December of that year, led to her inability to attend the traditional end of year celebration on Rede Globo and the release of a new album. Sony has just unveiled The 30 Greatest Hits (Vol. ) The religious "Today As Noss Senhoras," written with Erasmo, is paired with a series of greatest hits and a new song.

Carlos retained his music into the 1990s, mainly on romantic songs. A retro-Jovem Guarda wave wreaked havoc on Brazil, and Carlos, who was deemed a has-been among a younger generation of a middle-aged audience, was cited by younger artists such as Cássia Eller, Adriana Calcanhotto, Chico Science e Naçu, Baro Vermelho, and Skank. Skank also released Rei, a salute to Roberto Carlos' heyday in the Jovem Guarda epoch.

The publisher Planeta published Roberto Carlos em Detalhes, an unauthorised biography about the singer by Paulo Cesar de Araujo, which came as a result of 16 years of study and witness testimony of over 200 people involved in Roberto's career.
