See the video below: Roberto Carlos’ megafan recalls a car chase and an invitation to drink wine with King Hebe and the Atlantic City rose The dispute over a rose by Roberto Carlos with presenter Hebe Camargo in 1988 was the beginning of one of the stories most incredible things that Rosely narrates.

Watch the video: Roberto Carlos’ megafan remembers when she competed for pink with Hebe Camargo at a Teenage King Passion show One of the oldest and most precious memories that Rosely keeps is from 1967, when she went to the center of São Paulo hiding from her parents to sign up in a selection of young people who wanted to appear in the film “Roberto Carlos em Ritmo de Aventura”. “I was 14 years old, I was very young. And without knowing that I needed authorization, and this and that, I ended up in the city center, on Rua 13 de Maio, if I’m not mistaken. We even had an interview with the [ator] Reginaldo Faria, I was very talkative, he liked me a lot. But when I got back home, my father was very angry. Firstly, that I shouldn’t have gone, secondly that I wasn’t old enough”, Rosely recalls, laughing a little at her own audacity. The episode earned her a letter signed by the King. “If you are approved, you will be called for the final decision , which will be up to the director of the film, my namesake Roberto Farias. Don’t forget, therefore, that I’m rooting for you. With affection, Roberto Carlos” says the handwritten yellow paper, which she proudly displays among the memorabilia (read the full text in the photo below). A letter that Rosely received signed by Roberto Carlos, after she participated in the selection for young people interested in appearing in the 1968 film ‘Roberto Carlos em Ritmo de Aventura’, from 1968 Fábio Tito/g1 Drawings, the house and the King’s garbage Working on duty at the door of Roberto Carlos’ house in the Morumbi neighborhood, in São Paulo, was one of his hobbies Rosely and her friends in her youth. When they received a mere wave through the window, the visit was already worth the day or the whole week, according to the fan. Rosely studied art and, at the time, took a special gift every April 19th. ” I drew him all the time. My teacher even complained, ‘holy shit, you don’t get out of that black and white’, but I always did that and took him to his house, rang the bell. Twice he himself came to receive it”, she says. On the less “busy” days of these shifts for the idol, she and her friends found other things to distract themselves, such as looking at what was in the wastebaskets at Roberto’s house. “We stopped and stared at the trash. I didn’t touch the trash, but we looked. And there was always a bottle of [whisky] Chivas”, she recalls. Among her clippings and memories of Roberto Carlos, Rosely finds a photo of the King’s house in the Morumbi neighborhood, in the South Zone of São Paulo Fábio Tito/g1 With her son (Roberto!) in tow With so much admiration involved, it is not surprising that Rosely’s first child, born in 1979, already had the right name: Roberto. And if you thought that starting a family would put a brake on the fan’s madness for her idol, you are wrong. At 5 years old , Robertinho went to accompany his mother on an adventure — and ended up talking to his namesake more than Rosely herself. Roberto Carlos was about to play a show at the Palace, a traditional venue in São Paulo in the 1980s, Rosely arrived at the parking lot earlier and saw the moment when the singer arrived and entered through a gate. She then noticed that a woman went there and entered through the same gate, and had no doubts. She took her son by the hand and did the same . “So I went in, took two steps and he was there, standing in front of me. I stopped, and I always say the same thing to him: ‘I don’t believe it’, because it’s unbelievable. There he said: ‘let’s sit here’, he sat down, took my son and said: ‘let’s chat, we’re here, your mother isn’t feeling well'”, she says, laughing. When the singer asked the boy if he knew who that “uncle” was over there, Robertinho responded at the same time singing: I’m a wounded beast…”, the chorus of the hit that Roberto Carlos recorded in 1982, with lyrics by Erasmo Carlos. The youngest namesake says he still has a few memories of that meeting.

Rosely was driving her Volkswagen Beetle, her mother was in front, her sister in the back seat, when, near Avenida dos Bandeirantes, she saw a sports car passing by “a million” and recognized it at the time. She turned to the side and said: “Mom, hold on, it’s Roberto Carlos”. Without thinking twice, she went in pursuit towards the King’s house, which she already knew very well where it was. “I entered at the beginning of the street, stopped behind the car [dele]. He looked, startled. I was astonished. He went down, I already went down, but he came to my mother’s window saying that I had done something that she couldn’t have left. And my mother said: ‘Ah, Roberto. When it comes to Roberto Carlos, I can’t interfere'”, she recalls. The three returned home with an autograph in a notebook and another story to tell.

As soon as she got into the car to go home, she wrote: “How long I’ve waited for this photo… A lifetime! I went to all the Jovem Guarda programs, at the Record theater. Several times I waved to the King at airports. My father would park the car on Albuquerque Lins just so I could see him leave. Oh, I was so young. (…) And time passed. I still keep the albums I made, the LPs already scratched, the roses I won, anyway… Everything also kept in memory. There were so many moments, so many emotions, so many facts, but not a single photo. And today, I share with you the moment when my hands were sweating, my heart was pounding in my throat, my eyelids were fluttering and both legs were shaking… And I spoke to him!” Roberto Carlos poses for a photo with fan Rosely Rodrigues, in 2019.
