Buenos Dias de Estrellas


Oliver singing Good Morning Stars Shine in Spanish


It's always fun to listen to pop songs that have been recorded in Spanish.  Above is Buenos Dias Brillo de Estrellas (Good Morning Stars Shine, from 'Hair.')  The Spanish rendition is just as lovely as the original, though the title looks a little silly with Buenos Dias :)  I had forgotten what a first-class voice Oliver had.  He reminds me a little of John Denver.  

I wanted to add a couple of other Spanish covers for American songs, but they're not as easy to find as you'd think.  Here's the legendary Johnny Cash singing his megahit 'Ring of Fire' in Spanish, written, I believe, by his equally legendary wife June Carter.  Mr. Cash's Spanish has a whisper of American accent, but his rich, powerful bass voice makes it sound intense and beautiful.


Hasta pronto...
