Happy Valentines Day my fellow SZ members! I would like to share our humble attempt of the great classic "Besame Mucho"
In many Spanish speaking countries February 14th is celebrated as the Día de San Valentin, but it's more commonly referred to as El Día del Amor y la Amistad, the "day of love and friendship." People commonly give flowers, candies and balloons to their romantic partners, but it's also a day to show appreciation for friends. I appreciate you guys so much!

Paul,

Good selection of style and lead, but I could barely hear your vocals. What I could hear, though, really sounded smooth. When I sing that song in Spanish it never comes out like I want it to sound. Of course, not speaking the language very well may have some bearing on it.

Happy Valentine's Day,

Gary cool

Thanks Gary, Scott, Telmo,and Donny for the kind words and constructive criticism. Also thank you to all the others that took the time to listen. Gary, I'm sure your version of "Besame Mucho" comes out just fine with your unique stamp on it. Have you ever heard Nat King Cole sing "Besame Mucho? His Spanish pronunciation is not good at all yet his version is one of the best.

Hi Paul

Once the vocals came through the song was good, very good. Was the keyboard the KMA and if it was, was the style Lite Bossa.

Welcome to the KMA club

Regards

Col

This rendition has always been my favorite.



The version of Beseme Mucho I recorded on the Zoom H2 is pale by comparison, but that's OK, the ladies still love the way I sing it to them.

I'll really need to practice a lot to make my Spanish version sound as good as yours, Paul. Hell, I'm still working to perfect my version of Al De La in Italian. I'm gettin' close, but my hillbilly accent keeps messin' me up. wink

Thanks again for posting Paul,

Gary cool
