The artist’s songs open the trunk of memories For many people, teleported to their childhood or youth when listening to songs that have also been the soundtrack of their love stories. Her first big hit was ‘Gwendolyn‘, a song dedicated to a love that he met while singing in the pubs of England and that he took to Eurovision, where he achieved fourth place for Spain in 1970.
Later, in 1977, he released the song that, for many, best defines him: ‘I am a scoundrel, I am a lord’. He premiered it in the special of the first elections of democracy, reading the lyrics because he had not yet recorded it. His music is something to sing and imitate and he was also a pioneer in throwing poisoned darts in his songs: he already did it with Isabel Preysler in 1980, through her song ‘Hey’. He incorporated English into his greatest successes and that made him sound throughout the world.
