Biography

AntÃ´nio GonÃ§alves Sobral, known professionally as Nelson GonÃ§alves, was a Brazilian samba and samba-canÃ§Ã£o singer and songwriter born on June 21, 1919, in Sant'Ana do Livramento. Raised in SÃ£o Paulo, he performed as a boxer before beginning his musical career in 1941. He recorded the songs âSe eu pudesse um diaâ and âOs anos carregamâ for RÃ¡dio Record, which led to a contract with RCA Victor. GonÃ§alves served as a crooner at the Copacabana Casino and performed at Radio City Music Hall in New York. His discography included the albums Na voz de Nelson GonÃ§alves (1956), Escultura (1958), and NÃ³s (1988). He collaborated with lyricist Adelino Moreira and recorded over 2,000 tracks. By March 1998, he had sold more than 79 million records. GonÃ§alves died of a heart attack on April 18, 1998, in Rio de Janeiro. In 2019, 35 of his albums were released for streaming.
