Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). "Crickets Sing for Anamaria" is the English-language version of "Os Grilos" ("The Crickets"), a song written by Brazilian musician Marcos Valle with his brother Paulo Sérgio Valle.

Original version

The instrumental original of "Os Grilos" appeared on Valle's Brazilliance! (Warner Bros./Odeon, 1967) and became a "breakout hit".[1] The English version, to which producer Ray Gilbert contributed the lyrics, appeared on Valle's Samba '68 (Verve, 1968) and on Astrud Gilberto's Windy (Verve, 1968). It has been covered many times since. The Anamaria of the title was Valle's then-wife, who also sang on Samba '68.[2]

Emma Bunton version

Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). British pop singer Emma Bunton's recording of "Crickets Sing for Anamaria" became the fourth and final single from her second solo album Free Me, released in 2004. "Crickets" debuted and peaked at number fifteen in the United Kingdom, her second single not to reach the top ten (the first being "We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight"). It sold 25,723 copies. The single did, however, reach number one on the UK Club Chart. The video for the song was directed by Harvey & Carolyn, who also worked with Bunton on the video for "Maybe". For the B-sides Bunton covered Paul Anka's "Eso Beso" and Marcos Valle's "So Nice (Summer Samba)". The only original B-side was the Latino remix of "Maybe".
