About Hélio Costa Manso

Hélio Costa Manso was a Brazilian singer and guitarist.

Steve Maclean (born Hélio Eduardo Castilho de Toledo da Costa Manso), also known as Hélio Costa Manso, is a Brazilian singer. He was the lead singer, guitarist and leader of the rock group The Mustangs,

In 1969, Hélio was the lead singer of the group Sunday when the group released a cover of Lou Christie's "I'm Gonna Get Married", which was number one for several weeks and was included in the soundtrack of the soap opera Super Plá, on the now-defunct Rede Tupi. It was on Sunday that Hélio met his wife Vivian Costa Manso, also a member and lead singer. In the late 1970s, he had success with "Air For a Great Love" and "True Love". The latter song was the theme song for O Grito (a soap opera) on TV Globo in 1975, and Manso had another hit soon after, "Sweet Sounds Oh Beautiful Music", from the soap opera Locomotivas, on TV Globo, in 1977.

He was a director at RGE and later became director of Som Livre, a position he held for several years. Manso had songs of his own included in the soundtrack of Hit Parade, a series by André Barcinski that premiered in 2021 on Canal Brasil.
