Brazilian orphan, singer, teacher and guitarist Patricio Teixeira recorded "Nao Tenho Lagrimas" (Max Bulhoes - Milton de Oliveira) in 1937. Patricio also sang with Carmen Miranda.

Like Patricio Teixeira, Freddy Martin was raised for the most part in an orphanage. In 1947 Freddy and his Orchestra released the English version known as "Come To The Mardi Gras" (Drake - Shirl - Bulhoes - DeOliveira) with vocals by Stuart Wade . The single peaked at number sixteen. Freddy's slogan was "Music in the Martin Manner". Members of his band included Buddy Clark, Helen Ward and Merv Griffin.
