Song:Entregate
Album:Grandes Exitos
Luis Miguel was probably the most successful Spanish language singer in the 90s. Entregate was one of his first number one hits in 1990. He had 14 number one hits in the 90s and he was a huge live attraction. He was born Apr. 19, 1970 in San Juan, PR. Miguel first recorded for EMI when he was 11 years old. His father and manager told him to emulate Elvis Presley. He recorded four albums for EMI which included duets with Sheena Easton. But Miguel wasn't getting along with his father. He fired him and signed with Warner Music in 1987. And that's when Miguel really began to have success. Entregate is from the 1990 album 20 Anos which signified that Miguel was an adult. The album was a huge success and Entregate was one of two Latin chartoppers. The album was produced and written by Juan Carlos Calderon. Calderon was from Spain. He was a singer songwriter in the 70s and he produced Maria Conchita Alonso in the 80s. She is known here as an actress. She was a big singing star in Europe. 20 Anos was recorded with Los Angeles session musicians like Jerry Hey and Robbie Buchannan. The guitar solo on Entregate is by Paul Jackson Jr. Warner got Miguel to record English versions of some of his songs. But Miguel wasn't happy with the results so he stopped doing it. One would think with his rep as the Latin Sinatra he would want to cross over to the mainstream but he hasn't tried to do that. Miguel continued to have success in the 90s with 14 number one hits. This 2CD comp covers his Warner recordings. Miguel still records occasionally but he isn't as active as he used to be. His latest album was released in 2017. He signed to produce Luis Miguel: The Series which aired on Telemundo in 2018 and is available on Netflix. It's been renewed for a second season. It looks like Miguel is winding down a very successful career. Here's the video for Entregate by Luis Miguel.
