"After achieving fame and success as the lead singer of Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, Lani Hall finally left the bossa nova act to work on a solo career produced by Herb Alpert, who by 1972 was also the love of her life. Her first solo effort was Sun Down Lady, which features a collection of songs written by such musical icons as Elton John (“Tiny Dancer,” “Come Down in Time”), Paul Simon (“Wherever I May Find Him”), Cat Stevens (“How Can I Tell You”), Michel Colombier (“We Could Be Flying”), and even Hall herself (“You”).  The title track, “Sun Down,” features additional lyrics written by Hall and Alpert, who also provides backup vocals."
