Besame Mucho - Izak Matatya, piano

Izak Matatya plays Besame Mucho on his piano. Spanish words and music by Consuelo Velazquez. English words by Sunny Skylar.

Consuelo Velazquez is one of Mexico's two famous women songwriters (her distinguished colleague being Maria Grever). A concert pianist as well as a popular artist, she wrote "Besame Mucho" ("Kiss Me Much") in 1941, and it first reached American audiences through Jimmy Dorsey's 1944 hit recording featuring vocals by Kitty Kallen and Bob Eberly, with English lyrics by Sunny Skylar. That disc sold well over a million copies, but a test recording by the young Andy Russell, released that same year, was a big surpirse. Andy's bilingual version, sung in his warm and initimate style, made it a jukebox winner and started him on a successful career.

Izak, Fantastic, I would have to say that the only song played on the piano the equals the beauty of Besame Mucho would be Moonlight Sonata
