On his two albums with [[Bell Records (1950s-70s)\|Bell Records]] in 1973 and 1974 and several for [[Elektra Records\|Elektra]] from 1975 such as "[[Brasil '88]]", Mendes continued to mine the best in American pop music and post-bossa writers of his native Brazil, while forging new directions in soul with collaborators like [[Stevie Wonder]], who wrote Mendes' R&B-inflected minor hit "The Real Thing".

	In 1983, he rejoined Alpert's A&M records and enjoyed success with a self-titled album and several follow-up albums, all of which received considerable adult contemporary airplay with charting singles. "[[Never Gonna Let You Go (Sérgio Mendes song)\|Never Gonna Let You Go]]", featuring vocals by [[Joe Pizzulo]] and Leeza Miller,<ref name="Larkin"/> equalled the success of his 1968 single "The Look of Love" by reaching No. 4 on the [[Billboard Hot 100\|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] chart; it also spent four weeks atop the ''Billboard'' [[Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks\|adult contemporary chart]].<ref name="Whitburn"/> In 1984, he recorded the ''Confetti'' album, which had the hit songs "Olympia", which was also used as a [[1984 Summer Olympics#Music\|theme song for the Olympic Games]] that year, and "Alibis" which reached #5 on the A/C chart and #29 on the Hot 100.<ref name="Larkin"/> In the 1980s Mendes ~~also~~ worked with singer [[Lani Hall]] ~~again~~ on the song "No Place to Hide" from the ''Brasil '86'' album ~~as well as on the production~~ of her vocals on the title song for the [[James Bond]] film ''[[Never Say Never Again]]''.
