In the early 60's in Tarrytown, Westchester, NY lived a young Brazilian named Tim Maia who had a vocal group with his friends Roger Bruno (leader vocals), Felix DeMasi, Paul Mitranga and Bill Adair called The Ideals, they recorded some songs like "New Love" / "Go Ahead and Cry" / "You" some of they as Felix & The Ideals but never released. 
The group's career ended when Maia was arrested in Daytona Beach, Florida for smoking marijuana in a stolen car, and after six months in jail he was deported to Brazil, the other members of the group added Tommy Brown and recorded as The Meridians (see them in this blog).
Then Tim Maia was internationally recognized as one of the greatest icons of Brazilian music. He recorded numerous albums and toured extensively in a long career. He introduced the soul style to the Brazilian music scene.

Half of the members of this group are in The Meridians. I’m really interested about the second Parnaso group of The Meridians.
