I always liked this old Doors song. Of course, it has been done by all kinds of singers.
Recently, I was watching a Brazilian Telenovela (TV Globo), and once of the scenes had “Light My Fire” sung by a female voice, in a monotone.
Anybody know who the artist might be?
Was it this one (alternatively here)? If so, the singer is called Maysa. She used to be a big hit in the 60’s when people thought her eyes were sexy, then went a bit forgotten for a while. Recently a mini-series was produced about her life which got great reviews but I did not watch. I’m not a big fan but love her rendition of Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powells’ Canto de Ossanha.
P.S. If not, can you remember the name of the novela or at least when it was made?
Thanks, the telenovela is called “Tempos Moderna”.
It is not the singer (in the link you provided).
I tried searching for it but had no luck. The novela’s name is actually “Tempos Modernos”. “Tempos”, the subject of the phrase, is both masculine and plural, so the suffix to the adjective “modernos” has to be -os. I couldn’t find a list of the music featured on the program anywhere, though I did find a thread in a Brazillian forum where the poster asks the same question you did - unfortunately he did not get any answers. It’s usual to release two soundtracks to any novela, one featuring the national artists and an international one. Only the national one has been released already, so even in globo’s website I was unable to find a reference to the song you were looking for.
It’s a bit of a long-shot, but I found a version of “Light My Fire” in the track-list of a recent CD dedicated to big radio hits and music featured in novelas. It’s by Black Mighty Orchestra.
