Background: Released in 1966, Rain Forest was the eighteenth album by Brazilian organist Walter Wanderley.

The album was a success, and the first song on the LP, “Summer Samba,” became a surprise hit, reaching #26 on the U.S. singles charts.

Allmusic.com gave Rain Forest a 4 star review:

 From the first tune — the monster hit “Summer Samba,” the listener is catapulted straight back to the ’60s when bossa nova was new in the U.S. and everyone wanted a piece of it. Organist Wanderley made a big splash with this CD, which went platinum in two years — and it does evoke strong water images, like “poolside” and “ice skating rink.” The jazzmen are underutilized, since most of the tracks are less than three minutes long and leave little room to stretch out. …Despite all the sadness implied in the song titles, this CD has a jaunty feel to it and will be best enjoyed by nostalgic fans of that bygone era.
