MaurÃcio Alberto Kaisermann, better known to the world as Morris Albert, is one of the most enduring and recognizable voices in Brazilian popular song. Born in Rio de Janeiro on September 7th 1951 to an Austrian immigrant family, Albert began his involvement with music performing in a number of local bands before launching his solo career as a singer-songwriter. His very first album, released in 1975, was a smash success that propelled him to the top of the charts. The title track from the album, the romantic and forlorn ballad âFeelings,â became Albertâs signature song, turning into a massive hit in the soft-rock and easy-listening boom of the mid 70s. Since then, Albert has released a string of singles, including âSheâs My Girlâ and âSweet Loving Manâ, as well as albums such as 1979âs Once Upon a Man, 1983âs Beginnings, and 1999âs Lover. In 2004, he released Cuore, a collection of pop ballads in English and Italian. The albumâs title track, a duet with Italian singer and actress Mietta, gained success and radio play.
