TODAY IN HISTORY
AWARD WINNING SINGER IS 73 TODAY

Born in El Paso, Texas
The three-time Grammy Award-winning pop singer has performed in
a variety of music genres from Jazz to country. Her greatest success
has been singing in Spanish. She is best remembered for her 1967
hit single “It Must Be Him” which reached number three on the pop
chart and spent three weeks at number one on the easy listening
chart.

“That’ All Right” sold around 20,000 copies. It was not enough to
chart nationally, but the single reached number four on the local
Memphis charts. The song is at #113 on the 2010 Rolling Stone
magazine list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
