Deodato 2 is a 1973 album of Brazilian keyboardist Eumir Deodato. (…) His version of George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” was used in Pontiac commercials during the early 70's.
Eumir Deodato gets his fair share of kudos (“All-time classic funk jazz masterpiece…no home should be without this album!” according to the fine people at Sounds of the Universe) and opprobrium (Rolling Stone called his work “striding, chichi elevator music”). Guess what? They’re both right.
