Luis Mariano Serenades Paquita Rico

Spanish Basque operetta singer Luis Mariano admires the tropical surroundings with his lovely, silent lady Olivia (Paquita Rico). This clip is from the 1956 film À la Jamaïque. Mariano sang in accented French throughout his career in the '50s and '60s.

Jeanette, ¿Porqué te vas?

This afternoon someone at the bar was saying, "And she had taken a lot of Vicodin, too." There's definitely a connection here. Just how little can a singer move in her empire waist gingham gown? That's not to say this isn't a great song, and Jeanette's eye makeup and movements are an early '70s pill user look at its best. And that's not to imply she used pills, either. Even though everyone did back then. Someone made a MySpace page on her and the first track is her French version of ¿Porqué te vas?
