Stillness (1970).
See http://www.slipcue.com/music/brazil/mendes.html for a discography.
And for what it's worth, it's by no means "completely ludicrous" as the page
above suggests. The track is also available on one of the "Mojo Dancefloor
Jazz" CDs.

Subject: (exotica) obit: June Denny
>From bigbrotiki, Tiki Central:
June Denny, the loving wife of Martin Denny, passed away yesterday morning (August 13th).
June and Marty met back in 1954 when he was playing some early gigs around Waikiki Beach. June had moved to Honolulu "for a change of pace" and worked in some of the various venues that Marty often played. She was working at Don the Beachcombers when they met. Things bloomed and the two of them started what would be a long live together.
They made a good life for themselves and June was of tremendous support with Marty's career. Marty used to tour extensively and June never begrudged the days and weeks that Marty would spend on the road. They had a daughter and enjoyed some of the best times raising her and working in Hawaii.
June gave Marty full support each time his career would take a turn - whether for the better or worse. She would arrange to travel with him when possible. Their love grew for each other each year that passed. People who knew them could not believe the cohesive nature of their relationship.
In January this year, June nearly died when they elected to take her off life support. All the doctors gave her a poor prognosis. But she pulled thru and became quite lucid again. I was with the Denny's at that time and the event was nothing short of miraculous.
I think that event prepared Marty for what was to come in the near future. He had been given a reprieve to do and say all the things for June that often are not done when a loved one suffers an untimely death.
June was in a convalescent center for a few months and came home in the spring. She was confined to a wheel chair much of the time, still, her spirits were good. She got by with moderate help from Marty. Marty was able to see his wife of nearly 50 years in a cognizant, mentally stable fashion in her last remaining months. A time for summary and closure was allowed. He knew what was going to happen and spent the days with June in the most positive of lights.
Marty is doing very good in the wake of June's death. I truly believe that he had come to acceptance, back in January, of what was inevitable . He was at peace with the impending death and, being of strong character, dealt with it appropriately.
The funeral arrangements are being finalized today. If anyone would like to send an email note they can send it directly to me at RCBrooksOD@aol.com. In the subject line please put "June Denny".
I think my most fondest memory of June happened when I first met the Dennys. Marty offered to play the piano for me. I was thrilled. I sat on one side of their circular living room over looking the beautiful Coco Head area of Oahu. June was in the kitchen busying herself with something.
As Marty began to play, June stopped what she was doing and came in and sat down to listen to Marty play. She was on the other side of the room from me and Marty was at his grand piano in the center. I could easily watch Marty play and see June in the background. She had probably heard Marty play thousands of times. But as I watched, I noticed that June was lovenly watching her husband play, watching his every move. Her foot swayed to the music and she had a look of total contentment. At one point, she laid her head back and closed her eyes to better concentrate on the melody. What a marvelous woman that could be so moved by her husband's music which she had heard so much over the last 50 years. The spark was still there.
As Marty played "I Love you Forever and Ever," a song he wrote to June in the late 70's, I thought, what a tremendous love and life connection these two had traveled over the many years. I found myself in a moment of serenity as I appreciated the life these two had shared. I can still see it vividly in my mind. It is the way I will remember June.

Subject: (exotica) Re: June Denny
Tiki Bob-
Mahalo for your beautiful tribute to June and
testimony of the enduring love between her and Marty.
Kit and I visited them last weekend to play tracks
from our new release. As fragile as she was, June
emerged from their bedroom to sit and listen. We held
hands, with her squeezing mine to the beat of the
music, nodding approvingly. We feel blessed to have
shared this moment with them. As you say, Martin seems
accepting and philosophical. Theirs is an amazing love
story. We are dedicating the new album to her.
Ha'ale'ale i ka pu'uwai
A heart full to the brim
