Vinicius de Moraes & Tom Jobim by Pedro de Moraes, 1958
Another song the two collaborated on: "Insensatez". @TedGioia points out in The Jazz Standards that the song resembles Chopin's Prelude in E minor.

Vinicius de Moraes had many other collaborators besides Tom Jobim, though these two were obviously close. Here is Vinicius & Odette Lara, from 1963. The songs are by Vinicius & Baden Powell.
The wonderful cover photo is by Francisco Pereira.
Vinicius de Moraes wrote music as well as lyrics. His song "Assenza" is so beautiful. Sung here by Ornella Vanoni, with Vinicius himself reading his lyrics. From a wonderful 1976 album with Toquinho.
