I Love Brazil!

I Love Brazil! is a 1977 studio album by Sarah Vaughan, accompanied by prominent Brazilian musicians Milton Nascimento, Dori Caymmi, and Antônio Carlos Jobim.

This was Vaughan's first album of bossa nova/MPB, it was followed by Copacabana (1979), and Brazilian Romance (1987). It was also her first album for Pablo Records.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn said that "Sarah Vaughan's recordings during the last phase of her magnificent career weren't always up to her usual standards, but this late-'70s set focusing on Brazilian music was a superb exception.... The backing and rhythms weren't Americanized pap, but an accurate reflection of contemporary Brazil's sound at the time."

The album garnered a Grammy nomination.
