 Topic: Hits recorded in SpanishPosted: 06 April 2014 at 1:16am |

In another thread on the chat board, people were discussing '70s and '80s hits recorded in Spanish. I decided to start a separate thread for this specific discussion and to compile the songs I know of that have been recorded in Spanish. A very incomplete list, but the purpose of this thread is for people to add to the list.
Artist / English Title / Spanish Title / Best Format / Album title (if applicable) Abba / Chiquitita / Chiquitita / CD / Gracias Por La Musica Abba / Dancing Queen / Reina Danzante / CD / Gracias Por La Musica Abba / Fernando / Fernando / CD / Gracias Por La Musica Abba / Knowing Me, Knowing You / Conociendome, Conociendote / CD / Gracias Por La Musica Abba / Mamma Mia / Mamma Mia / CD / Gracias Por La Musica Abba / When All Is Said and Done / No Hay A Quien Culpar / CD / Mas Oro America / Sister Golden Hair / Con Tu Pelo Tan Dorado / 45 / Basil Toni / Mickey / Mickey / CD / Living in Oblivion 2 Blondie / Call Me / Call Me / CD / Blonde and Beyond Captain & Tennille / Do That To Me One More Time / Amame Una Vez Mas / 45 / Captain & Tennille / Love Will Keep Us Together / Por Amor Viviremos / CD / Ultimate Collection Carnes Kim / More Love / Mas Amor / 45 / Dupree Robbie / Heart Rod Hearts / (spanish title?) / 45 / Dupree Robbie / Steal Away / Steal Away (Spanish) / iTunes mp3 / Vintage Tracks Easton Sheena / Almost Over You / Todo Me Recuerda A Ti / CD / Todo Me Recuerda A Ti Easton Sheena / Morning Train / El Primer Tren / CD / Todo Me Recuerda A Ti Easton Sheena / Telefone / Telefono / CD / Todo Me Recuerda A Ti Easton Sheena / You Could Have Been With Me / Brindo Por Un Amor / CD / Todo Me Recuerda A Ti Easton Sheena & spanish singer / We've Got Tonight / La Noche Y Tu / CD / Todo Me Recuerda A Ti Estefan Gloria / Anything For You / No Te Olvidare / CD / Exitos De Gloria Estefan Estefan Gloria / Don't Wanna Lose You / Si Voy A Perderte / CD / Exitos De Gloria Estefan Estefan Gloria / Words Get in the Way / No Me Vuelvo A Enamorar / CD / Exitos De Gloria Estefan James Tommy / Three Times in Love / No Hay Dos Sin Tres / 45 / KC & Sunshine Band / Please Don't Go / Por Favor No Te Vayas / 45 / KC & Teri DeSario / Yes I'm Ready / (spanish title?) / 45 / Kool & the Gang / Celebration / Celebramos / CD / 12" Collection and More Manilow Barry / Copacabana / Copacabana (En El Copa) / iTunes mp3 / Grandes Exitos En Espanol Manilow Barry / Could It Be Magic / Sera Esto Magia / LP / Grandes Exitos En Espanol Manilow Barry / Daybreak / Amanece / LP / Grandes Exitos En Espanol Manilow Barry / Even Now / Hasta Hoy (duet) / LP / Grandes Exitos En Espanol Manilow Barry / I Write the Songs / Soy La Cancion, Soy La Cancion / LP / Grandes Exitos En Espanol Manilow Barry / Mandy / Mandy / LP / Grandes Exitos En Espanol Manilow Barry / This One's For You / Es Para Ti / LP / Grandes Exitos En Espanol Medeiros Glenn / Nothing's Gonna Change My Love... / Nada Cambiara Mi Amor Por Ti / CD / Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You Nilsson / Without You / Si No Estás Tú / CD / Nilsson Schmilsson/RM Pointer Sisters / He's So Shy / Es Tan Timido / 45 / Robinson Smokey / Being With You / Aqui Con Tigo / CD / Solo Albums Vol. 6 Rogers & Carnes / Don't Fall in Love W/ Dreamer / No Te Enamores De Un Loco / 45 / Side note: I'm obviously not including songs that were originally recorded in Spanish like "La Bamba" or "Eres Tu".

"The Way I Want to Touch You" was also recorded in Spanish and was on a Japanese C&T compilation.
As was mentioned in the other thread, their whole "Love Will Keep Us Together" album was recorded in Spanish. The Spanish version of "The Good Songs" from that album was the B-side of "Muskrat Love." |

Although this topic is of no personal interest, in the past, I have known of
one or two fellow music enthusiasts who were totally into this "foreign versions" topic. And they would introduce/re-introduce it at the slightest opportunity. To each his own! :) Over the years, however, a few of them had either come in to the station, or I'd found a stock copy on the cheap somewhere. Not knowing how/where to file them, I started a small "Foreign versions of hits" area. There are currently only seven 45s in this category, although I know that the Young Rascals did release "Groovin' (Spanish Version)" and "Groovin' (Italian Version)" as a stock 45 (Atlantic 2428) back in 1967. I don't own that 45, but there is a scan for it on 45cat.com, and I do have both versions on a 6-CD Rhino Handmade Rascals box set. Two of my 7 45s have been mentioned upthread, but I'll include them here as well, for their full 45 details. Here they are, from oldest to newest: -Captain & Tennille-"Como Yo Quiero Sentirte (The Way I Want To Touch You)" (A&M 1774) (stock copy, with a Spanish version of "Broddy Bounce" on the flip) -Linda Ronstadt-"Lago Azul (Blue Bayou)" (Asylum 45464) (promo copy; same version on both sides) -Kenny Rogers-"Lady" (Spanish Version produced by Jose Silva) (Liberty 1397) (stock copy, with the English version of "Sweet Music Man" on the flip) -Police-"De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da (Spanish Version)"/"De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da (Japanese Version)" (A&M 25000-S) (this is definitely a U.S. specialty 45 release. It is surely a promo 45, although there's no specific mention of "Promotional copy-Not for sale" anywhere on it. The above stock # is totally unique, and in no way resembles its A&M 2275 stock 45 #. It also has the UK/Euro small 45 size hole, clearly as an homage to its contents.) -Toni Basil-"Mickey (Spanish Version)" (Chrysalis 2665) (stock copy, with the English Version of "Thief On The Loose" on the flip) -Suzanne Vega-"Luka (Version en Espanol)"/"Luka (English Version)" (A&M 35084) (stock copy - not sure how I acquired it - my guess is that my 45 copy was pressed in the U.S., and was then sold in Central/South America, etc., because the label says A y M Discos, not A&M Records.) So I'm not 100% sure if it "officially" qualifies here. -Brenda K. Starr-"Yo Creo En Ti (I Still Believe)" (MCA 17525) (promo copy; same version on both sides) I imagine that free online sites like 45cat, Discogs, etc. would be a virtual treasure trove for discovering many other such songs. I believe 45cat is even based out of the UK, but they are very good at separating 45 releases by individual country. Happy hunting! |

I just remembered that Smokey Robinson's "Being With You" was recorded in Spanish (Aqui Con Tigo) so I added it to my list above. (There was also a Spanglish version).

What's great about the umbrella of "Top 40 Music on Compact Disc" is that this topic isn't even off-topic for this board. Some people talk about the single versions, the album versions, the neither versions, the extended versions, the alternate versions, the vinyl versions, the failed attempts (and noble attempts!) at re-creating a single edit, the remixes, the re-recordings, the foreign-language versions ... it's all TOP 40 music on CD! And all these "other" versions are "stay-aways" for some and "exactly what I've been looking for" for others. :) |

My goodness, this thread could actually grow to massive
size if we go back to the 60's, I know a lot of Motown hits were also record in Spanish but I don't have a list. But i'll throw in these few that are in my "Foreign" folder: Barbra Streisand - Evergreen (Love Theme From 'A Star Is Born') (In Spanish) '77 Beach Boys - Kokomo (Spanish Version) '88 Carpenters - Canta ('Sing' in Spanish) '73 Gloria Gaynor - Yo Vivire (I Will Survive) '78 Boyz II Men - Al Final Del Camino (End Of The Road) I think the Boyz did quite a few of their hits in Spanish, not sure which ones though. Edited to add: Mary Hopkin - Que Tiempo Tan Feliz ('Those Were the Days' in Spanish) MM Edited by MMathews |

Both on CD... Evergreen was on the CD single or "I Finally Found Someone," and I'm quite sure the Spanish version of "Those Were the Days" was a bonus track on the remaster of her first album. |

My copy of this is a U.S. promo copy (the image I linked to was the Japanese side) with the large hole, same odd catalog #. I don't remember where I got it. Edited by Hykker |

I just found that I have "Canta/Sing" on the Carpenters 4 CD boxed set, but it's Spanglish. Is there an all Spanish version of this? on vinyl or CD?
