Roberto Carlos pays a visit to Rita Pavone at Teatro Record in 1965


Adonis Karan, a TV Record executive, Rita Pavone and Roberto Carlos at Rita's Teatro Record dressing room after her recital on 27 April 1965.

Looking at this photo taken at Rita Pavone's dressing room at Teatro Record, in São Paulo, after she had given her first recital on her second tour of Brazil, one can only surmise a few things:

Little did Roberto Carlos know he would be occupying this very same dressing room in the near future. In another 4 months - 22nd August 1965 - Roberto would open his legendary Sunday rock show 'Jovem Guarda' at Teatro Record and become the most successful musical act in the country for the longest time.
Rita Pavone 2nd Brazilian tour started on 27 April 1965 up to 1st May 1965. Rita's photo on the right was taken by TV Guide 'Intervalo' on the same night she received Roberto Carlos at her dressing room on 27 April, Tuesday. 
P.S.: the colourization process made a mistake concerning Rita's dress which was white with black dots...

1965 as it unfolded... according to 'A Modinha Popular'

By early 1965, rock was a great force as you see Erasmo Carlos, Trini Lopez & Wilson Simonal on the cover of 'A Modinha Popular' even though when Carnaval came around February, old acts like Emilinha Borba, Risadinha and Carequinha made their point... but it was only for a few weeks each year.
