"Spanish Eyes" is a globally popular song that has been translated into multiple languages, gaining recognition all over the world.
Before it became a song, the melody was known as “Moon over Naples,” composed by the talented Bert Kaempfert. The lyrics were crafted by two renowned poets, Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder, who collaborated with the music's composer to create an excellent piece.
The song needed a voice, which was provided by Austrian-born Freddy Quinn, who recorded the hit in 1966. The following year, Al Martino delivered an outstanding recording, and many other artists, including Engelbert Humperdinck and Elvis Presley, soon followed suit. The song quickly became a hit, attracting a long list of international performers, eager to capitalize on the popularity of "Spanish Eyes."
Numerous covers have since been produced in various languages, including Spanish. Emiliano Martín recites the lyrics to “Spanish Harlem,” accompanied by the music of the song. This is for the listeners of "Poesía con Voz."
