The other members were Jose 'Yuca' Salas, Soledad 'Chole' Salas, and Gregorio 'Goyo' Escalante.Įl Aguador* (MLA-327),, (first record, B side)Ĭuestion de Una Mujer* (MLA-328),, (first record, A side)ĭe Que Murio El Quemado* (MLA -326), They were signed to the label by producer Manuel S. He was 21 years old and a member of a quartet called Los Carlistas, who formed in his hometown of Tucson, Arizona in 1937. Vocalion Records was the first label for which my dad recorded. c.) My dad's recollections about the recordings. b.) Lists of recordings I had or obtained that contained relevant information.
The methods used in compiling this discography are the following: a.) Obtaining the information from the records themselves, from my or my dad's collections. If any of the above information is not available for a recording, the category is left blank.
Each line is set up in the following manner: The title of the song, an asterisk (*) if it was written by my dad or a plus sign (+) if he wrote only the lyrics, the matrix number that appeared on the label, the style of music, and what musical group backed him up on the recording. This discography is set up in the following manner: The record labels are listed in chronological order with song titles in alphabetical order under each label category. For the sake of simplicity and space, I did not include EPs that contained songs previously released as singles or singles that were taken off albums. I believe I succeeded in listing 90 to 95 per cent of my dad's recordings. My goal in doing this discography was to list every recorded song possible. Also, his ranchera/rock & roll song 'La Minifalda de Reynalda,' recorded by the 60's Mexican rock group Los Johnny Jets, was the biggest hit of its year in Mexico. 'Nunca Jamas,' which was recorded by the internationally famous Trio Los Panchos, the legendary Mexican balladeer of the 60's, Javier Solis, and the great Jose Feliciano. The most notable examples being: 'Cancion Mexicana,' which was recorded by Mexico's ranchera diva of the 30's and 40's, Lucha Reyes, as well as her counterpart of the 60's and 70's, Lola Beltran. This is the way I wrote it, unedited.)Īside from the hundreds of titles that follow which were recorded by my dad, many of his songs were recorded by other artists throughout the decades.
