Nelson Ned
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A small-statured Brazilian musician with multi-lingual singing talents, Nelson Ned (full name: Nelson Ned d'Ávila Pinto, born February 3, 1947)[citation needed], built a solid career as a singer and composer of sentimental, suffering songs, rising to popularity in Brazil and Latin America in 1969 and becoming known internationally in 1971 with the release of his first Spanish album, "Canción Popular" and performances in the U.S., Latin America, Europe, and Africa. His international performances have included Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and mega-events in Mexico. He was the first Latin artist to sell a million records in the U.S. with his hit "Happy Birthday My Darling" in 1974. He also did some instrumental work for the "Electric Moog Orchestra" in 1977. Since his conversion in 1993, he has only recorded evangelic songs.
