Originally performed by Sergio Mendes and written by Steve Wonder, Bebel Gilberto and Mark Ronson put their spin on “The Real Thing”. The original version is an undeniable disco track, but one would never know from this reinterpretation. Bebel’s sultry voice and Mark Ronson’s killer horns and percussion reintroduce this classic to a new generation of music fans. “The Real Thing” appears on Bebel Gilberto’s new album All In One, out now.
