♥"A Million Thanks to You" ♫ Pilita Corrales

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
UPDATE - January 28, 2010:
*
At last I had the pleasure to hear Ms.Pilita Corrales sing in person, not in a concert but in a more intimate ambiance.
She sings every Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Tangerine Restaurant in Greenhills, at the end of Ortigas Avenue.
*
She is a very amiable person, with pleasant demeanor. My request for a photo together with her was just a start. We ended up having a long conversation into the evening. She even granted my request for her to sing this very song, "A Million Thanks to You."
( I posted the video of her live rendition on Feb. 11, 2010.).
**********

SOME TIP: If you intend to go there.
Make a reservation (725-2811 or 215-4053) for a table near the stage at 8:15pm or so. There's live piano music, but her performance starts at 9:00pm.
Dress casual but presentable. Be on time.
The restaurant entrance is across the parking lot from Unimart Supermarket. (I had difficulty finding it, that's why I'm writing this tip.)

Oh yeah, the wagyuu beef (with peppercorn) is excellent -- comparable to that of Seattle's Metropolitan Steakhouse.

January 28, 2010 was an evening to remember.
Thank you, Pilita.

I just learned this classic song of Pilita was the theme song of Dearest One (A Million Thanks To You) starring Jose Mari and Liberty Ilagan. Ms. Corrales herself appeared in the movie. Nice video by the way 65Seasons!

@yecaps25 - thanks.... i also posted a video where Ms. Pilita was singing live when we had dinner at a restaurant in Greenhills.... some coincidence but i personally knew Jose Mari Gonzales.

[yecaps25]

@65Seasons That's nice to know. He can surely shed some insights with you regarding Pilita's famous song in the said movie.

[65Seasons]

@yecaps25 -- and i can ask Pilita herself who i most probably see next month.... :)

Ang ganda! Pilita at her peak. She has always acknowledged that "A million thanks..." is her signature song, thanks to Alice Doria Gamilla. The great filipino singers always aimed at interpreting songs from the heart, and you can actually hear that. The last of the great ones after Pilita was Kuh Ledesma who used her heart and mind to lend her personal take of all her songs. The birit era destroyed all these. Singers just scream the songs without understanding what the're shouting.

@Charlton189 -- Kuh Ledesma has always been a favorite of mine

.... besides I knew her mother too back when Kuh was still a kid.... Those were the days.

Thanks for sharing this authentic OPM..Ito siguro ang the best song ever composed by a Filipino(a) na naging international hit and duplicated many years later by Freddie Aguilar's "Anak".Pilita wala gyud paglubad. Ang ganda talaga ng boses ni Ms Corrales .Bisaya man.:))

Naalala ng aking kabiyak ang awitin na iyan na intro at theme song ng An Evening with Pilita , na kung saan ang mga naging back up at musician ni Pilita ang grupo ng Los Dorados na ang may hawak ng instrumentong Bajo de Arko ay ang aking Biyenan , si Eseng Correa ng Baclaran,

A beautiful song, , an old song, but more meaningful...and sung by a beautiful woman like Pililita...I like this singer so much...

[eguchi351]

Pilita is the best singer of the philippine, she don't imitate any famous singers, she have her own style, her own voice, the moment she sings I can tell that's Pilita, not barbra streisand or whitney houston of the philippine, she is the Pilita of the philippine, and pride of all pinoys...
