I'm the one who posted about breaking my dad's 78rpm recording of Caterina Valente's recording of the Breeze and I. I did get the CD and my dad loved it. My wife so how much I enjoyed Ms. Valente's music, she ordered me my own CD for Valentines. So again Thank YOU for your posting Caterina's recording here. My 21 year old son, has been listening to the CD also and has become a fan of this very gifted singer as well.
I FIRST HEARD CATERINA VALENTE AT A CONCERT IN NUREMBERG, GERMANY IN 1955 AND HAVE BEEN A FAN OF HER'S FOR MANY YEARS..I WISH TO THANK ALL THE FINE PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUTUBE FOR FOR MAKING MANY OF US REMEMBER OUR YOUTH.....
Continuing from comment below, I'm embarrassed to say that prior to tonight I'd never heard of Ms. Valente. I found her album with this song via Barnes and Noble. I'm ordering it and will give it to my dad, who's 88 as a blast from his past. Thank you for sharing this. I'd have never found her name or the CD without your posting. Truly Amazing.
This is amazing. My dad had the Decca 78 rpm of this and I used to love to play it. One day I dropped it and it broke. That song I remember from back then about 52 years ago. I didn't know the singers name. When she sang that part up high it would send chills up my back. I found the name of the song years ago, but had no clue who sang it. Tonight, I thought about that record again and remembered to go and see if I could find it here on youtube. It's just as I remembered it. Thank you for this
@terracite what can possibly said by a eventy year old that treaures this song when he was 15 years old. she hite three octaves with perfection. need anything more said said ...........ernsto lecuona is at piece........'guantanamera'...............thanks brother
This and "Poinciana" are among her very best, which is saying quite a lot, I think! I've had no luck at all finding her version of "Poinciana" though ... anybody have any ideas? I'd really love to have that, too.
You wrote: "two songs written for her by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona"..... Are you sure? What are those songs? By the way.. Malagueña and Andalucia were written as a piano pieces in 1919 and 1922 repectively. Later published(in the 30') as part of Andalucia suite. Caterina was born in 1931
i always remember my mum playing this on a 78 rpm when i was young, she still sings it now and still loves it at 82 years of age,what a blast from the past
What a treat to find this on YouTube! I used to listen to my parents record album called Golden Favorites (I can't find that on CD anywhere) and this fun song was on it. Thanks for posting the song! :-)
i was in love with this girl and her fantastic voice she helped me keep sane in 1955 when i was doing national sevice, she was a most fantastic talent, and some people dont know she was a awsome guitarest
Ahhh, brings back wonderful memories. I had the privilege of this great lady sitting and chatting with me in a nightclub in Weisbaden Germany in 1956. I have an autographed picture and saw all he4 movies, some at least 3 or more times. Anybody remember her and Carol Burnette's TV variety show, I think in the late '60's?
This is the first time I have heard her sing since I was 16 (1955). This is like a time machine...takes me right back. She was enchanting then as now. Thanks, youtube and poster... She is God's gift to us all.
OLE cAT ER INA fantastic HEY OLD maxthevid is a cheering and singing along,
volume is notched up, and I sat THANK GOD FOR YOU AND YOU TUBE, I hain't got no religion, but for the wonderfull people I FIND FROM MY PAST I would thank ole NICK.. viva THIS WONDERFUL TOOOOOOOB
I remember her from 1955. Thanks for posting! There's a current singer named Rebekah del Rio who has a slightly similar voice and style. She was featured in "Mulholland Drive." Caterina apparently was more popular in Europe than in the U.S. Don't know why.

Danced to this in high school in the mid-fifties. Only vocal version I lake. Especially loved her exotic accent! And, the notes this girl hits. Incredible listening experience and memory! Thank you!
Thanks utube for allowing us to hear one of the loveliest singers,I you'd to danced to her lovely songs as a child in Germany,this is the first time i heard her songs,and tears came into my eyes,also many thanks to Katrina..
Wonderful! I remember hearing it on the radio as a four year old!
A small point terracite, Ernesto Lecuona didn't write "The Breeze And I "(Andalucia) and "Malaguena" for CV, he wrote them in the late 1920's - before Caterina was born!
when i hear this song memories of my late mother come to mind.I remember my mum doing the housework in the 50s singing along to various artists crosby boone martino ,but this song was one of her favs.
Beautiful number. I remember buying this in the mid-fifties. It brings back such sweet memories. But ... is that a ladder ... on her stockings? Greetings to one and all from Jarrahnut in wonderful Western Australia.
