Not 1930s or 40s but more late 50s early 60s ................ Chilean Antonio Prieto..... this wonderful romantic "bolero" called "Reloj". Those of you who understand Spanish will agree with me the lyrics are wonderful and his voice is too! :love: But you don't have to understand anything.... just enjoy!

Latin music - particularly mambo - is the only music that makes me wish I could dance.

Although not from the '30s or '40s, this qualifies in my book as the best remake of a Merle Travis / Tennessee Ernie Ford song:

"Perfidia" Nat King Cole singing in Spanish one of the loveliest boleros ever!
