Three Favorite Songs: Puerto Rico And Spanish
I’ve more than three favorite’s songs, however this assignment is asking for only three.

I grew up in Puerto Rico and Spanish is our primary language. The music I heard was Latin music from Salsa, Bolero, and Merengue it would keep everyone on a Saturday morning in the happy mood. With the radio on it was time to do our chores. Also when I was a teenager and loving any kind of music I started to listen to The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, and the Osmond.

My mother uses to say “music comes from the heart”. That's the reason I love to listen to music.

I'm going to tell you about my three favorites song that touch my heart this isn't counting the wonderful Spanish songs from the 70's that I love so much.

1. “A mi manera” by Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz- Spanish version- (“My way “original by Frank Sinatra). The first time I heard this song, it was in 1975. Every single word of this song has impacted me in a way that every time I listen to this song I would start to cry. I've collected this song by different artist, language, and genre. I did learn to dance salsa listening to this beautiful song. This song brings so many memories. This is my number one song of all time.

As soon as I watch the movie “The Prince of Thieves” with Kevin Costner I fell in love with the movie and the theme song. I just want Kevin Costner (Robin Hood) to rescue me and recite the song looking into my eyes. Every time I watch the movie or hear this song you can see my tears. Oh yes, I’m so cheesy. I dedicate this song to my husband on our 25th
