George Freedman was a German-born Brazilian singer, composer, and translator who began his career in the late 1950s, performing rock songs, primarily versions of foreign hits. In 1959, he recorded his first single in California, featuring the rock ballad "Leninha" and the calypso rock "Hey, Little Baby." He frequently appeared on TV Tupi in São Paulo during this period. Freedman gained significant recognition during the Jovem Guarda movement, contributing to the popularization of rock music in Brazil.
