À Primeira Vista

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"À Primeira Vista" (English: At first sight) is a Brazilian pop song written by Chico César and performed by Daniela Mercury on her fourth solo album Feijão com Arroz (1996). Released as the first single from the album, it became one of Mercury's most recognizable hits in her native Brazil, along with "O Canto da Cidade". According to the website Hot 100 Brasil, it was the ninth most played song in Brazil in 1996 (the fifth in Portuguese language) ^[1]. Beside its success, no music video was ever released. "À Primeira Vista" was part of the soundtrack of the popular Rede Globo telenovela O Rei do Gado, what might have helped its success. According to Veja, Mercury competed the royalties of this song with Elba Ramalho and Zizi Possi. ^[2]
