Biography: Trini Lopez
[Top]
Trini Lopez is a Latin American singer/guitarist. Born Trinidad Lopez III in Dallas, Texas, he made his name on the club circuit of the American Southwest before being discovered in 1962 by the record producer Don Costa while playing at the PJ Club in Hollywood. Costa was greatly taken with Lopezs Latinized versions of contemporary hits & signed him up to Frank Sinatra s Reprise Records. His debut album, Trini Lopez Live at PJs, was released in 1963. The album included Lopezs most famous song, If I Had A Hammer, which reached number one in 25 countries & was a radio favourite for many years. He also performed his own version of the traditional Mexican song La Bamba on this album. He also recorded covers of other popular songs of the day, including Lemon Tree, Im Coming Home Cindy & Sally Was a Good Old Girl. During the 1960s & 1970s Lopez moved into acting as well as recording & playing, though his film career was not nearly as successful as his music. His first film appearance was in Marriage On The Rocks where he appeared with Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin.
