People
A King called Roberto Carlos
One hundred million albums sold (more than twice any other Latin American artist). Over 50 albums and dozens of smash hits. This is part of the résumé of the most successful Brazilian singer-songwriter ever
Roberto learned to play the guitar and piano when he was a child. He moved to Niterói as a teenager and at that time met another teen who would become his best friend and musical partner: Erasmo Carlos. The King’s first hit came in 1962, with Splish Splash. The following year he wrote two of his biggest hits: É proibido fumar and O Calhambeque. Roberto produced a light and irreverent kind of rock. In 1965 Rede Record invited Roberto, Erasmo and singer Wanderléa to present the showJovem Guarda, which was on TV for three years. In 1966 Roberto and Erasmo fell out over professional issues, but the following year they made up. Roberto also starred in successful films between the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s.
Romanticism, religion, and a new phase
In the beginning of the 1970s Roberto began a new phase, with less rock and more romanticism.Brazil USA Europe and Latin America , and stars such as Julio Iglesias and Ray Conniff recorded his songs. In December 1974 Globo broadcast the first Roberto Carlos special, which has remained a tradition at the end of the year for the channel. Roberto has been married three times. His greatest love, Maria Rita, died in 1999, after a battle with cancer.
