Listen to this 100 times after work with friends, one of which was from Mexico, 50+ years ago. He said her Spanish was perfect. Great memories. Miss Arnold DeLeon.
I bought this album in a second hand record shop in London, Islington, almost 20 years ago. It was playing in the shop and I forked out £15 for it! Lost my turntable and never listened to it until last night. Out of curiosity I took it along to Vinyl Night at my local pub. Wow! Fantastic voice. Great robust arrangements. Passion!
oh my God!!!!!!!!! how lucky were the people who lived during her era to see and listen to her live!!!!!!!!!! Simply Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Thank you Michael Fooks for uploading such wonderful works of true Art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i got goose bumps when she sings malaguena ...the second time...............simply beyond description.....regards from bangalore ,india
My parents had this album, and I learned this song the way Nancy Ames sings it. Her version is so beautiful and passionate. I might have worn this one out from playing it over and over again! Thanks for bringing back some great memories!
I used to live in Mexico City back in the 60's, in those years I only heard 2 songs of this beautiful mujer. CRY SOFTLY and La Malaguena. I'm Mexican I can tell you her Spanish is PERFECT in this song, every single word is spoken correctly without any accent; and this is not the only song she sings in Spanish.Now thanks to the new technology I can hear and see here in TH-cam more songs of Nancy Ames, she even sings very good Samba Brasileira.Does anybody knows if she is relative of Ed Ames? (The Ames Brothers)
One correction--this album came out in 1964. She has another version, recorded live at the Americana Hotel, which was released in 1968 (that performance is also on TH-cam).
I played this song on the jukebox as the B-side of another song by Nancy when I was at a club until I drove the other patrons nuts. I don't speak Spanish however I love the music and her vocals-full of emotion. After a little over 30 years, I still have remembered this song and looked for it periodically. I'm glad you posted it. I hope more viewers listen and post. This is GOOD MUSIC not like so much out now-people won't remember today's songs in 30 years. Thanks.
Preciosa versión de un himno Mexicano, Malagueña Salerosa compuesta por el maestro mexicano Elpidio Ramírez e inmortalizada por primera vez en el mariachi de Miguel Aceves Mejia. Es una de las más bellas canciones del universo, ni no es que la mejor.
I love her ability to sustain long notes, along with her passionate delivery, which she seems to pour out straight from her heart. I'd like to see her version of Cucurrucucu Paloma on TH-cam. It was a radio hit that I loved when I heard it while on the school bus, daily, circa 1962. Lost it in a house fire in 1995.
*BRILLANTE INTERPRETACIÓN!!! Notables varios pasajes del video, pero sobresale en **3:50**.* *En esta grabación se nota una producción austera, y que da VERDADERO VALOR A LA INTERPRETACIÓN CASI ESPONTÁNEA, sin tantas ediciones y arreglos técnicos de hoy que a cualquiera hace parecer que tiene buena voz.*
Nancy ames.this is the first time i heard her sing.i was shocked to find she was the original singer on cinderella rockefella.which was a big uk hit for another duo.
My father had this album in the 1960s, and I later got one for myself--I have her albums on vinyl, but unfortunately no record player now. A couple of her albums have been released on CD, but I don't think this one has been has yet. I saw Nancy live, I think around 1971, at a home show in Dinner Key Auditorium (originally, a hangar at International Pan Am Airport), in Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida. I stayed to watch her second show also. Comic Marty Allen was her opening act. She was very vivacious. PS This album was released in 1964, not 1969.
this is a song i remember from my childhood. my parents played Trios los Panchos, Edie Gorme (Spanish songs), and this one by Nancy Ames, (not to mention many others)...i always considered this my favorite version of the Malaguena...
Thank you, Michael Fooks. Being her age, I was around to watch TWTWTW. And, no one sings Malaguena Selarosa as well as she. She was quite talented. And, the show was a bit ahead off it's time.
There are various sites that sell it. Search for the album, "This is the girl that is Nancy Ames." Liberty Records. I bought one for about $20 a year ago. They're out there. :)) Thank you all for your comments!
While this is my favorite version EVER of this song, along with being one of my favorite songs period, I can also recommend Trini Lopez's version. He delivers as more of a Spanish folk ballad but it is still very beautiful.
This is a Mexican song, not Spanish folk. Composed by Mexican maestro Elpidio Ramírez. And the best version is the original mariachi with Miguel Aceves Mejía.
Indeed Trini López,who I think recorded it first than Nancy Ames in his The Latin Album, did a great job with this song. In fact Nancy was his 'special guest star' on his tv special The Trini Lopez Show broadcast in the late 60'.
Sounds like this is where Chingon got his intro of his very popular Malaguena Salerosa from Kill Bill. Try listening to Philippine versions of Merci Molina (La Malaguena) & Victor Wood (Malaguena Salerosa) both in English versions. Bravo Nancy Ames. thanks Michael Fooks for sharing this.
Being Spanish with parents and grandparents from the Philippines, I was exposed to many Spanish songs. Mom said the Mexicans had the most beautiful love songs. Thank you for this. Do you have her version of El Ayer to share? My mom's albums seems to have disappeared. Thanks!

Her real last name is Alfaro. Her grandfather was a diplomat and served as president of Panama for two years.
Amazing singing by a beautiful woman with a wonderful heart. Thank you for sharing!
Maravillosa versión.......la mejor que he escuchado..... y son muchas
Love the way she can roll her r’s.i just realize I can do it too.i wish I had the voice to go with it.😊😊😊😊😊

I like this song even more now. Just "wow". thank you for sharing this jewel.
Very, very nice! I will listen to her again.
Only 1 Nancy Ames. Sing it girl. Mesmerizing
This woman is an exceptional talent. Great, clear voice, great range, just fantastic. I'm so glad you posted this work of art for us all to enjoy.
She's brilliant and passionate. Her best music is still not digital. She recorded several records and then retired. Our loss.

Her name is : Nancy Hamilton Alfaro her maternal grandfather was former president of Panama.

Ms ames has been my singing inspiration for years. These days she and her husband sell jewelry online. no matter what she does is phenome

Exquisite
WOW!! Nancy, you made this song your own version, it's beautiful along with the music.

It is now posted on TH-cam posted, nine years ago, I think perhaps after your request.
Bravo!!!
BRAVO ❤❤❤❤!!!

Extremadamente espectacular su actuación y más que todo su cantar, en español e inglés, su origen latino, no se opacan con su físico escandinavo.

Nancy ames.this is the first time i heard her sing.i was shocked to find she was the original singer on cinderella rockefella.which was a big uk hit for another duo.
Nancy Ames cowrote Cinderella Rockefella with Mason Williams, but Esther & Abi Ofarim had the hit with it.

Mexican song, one of the anthems of Mexico.
Que hermosa este version del cancion involvidable.
My father used to have this album in the 1960s, and i've been looking for this!! Thank you for posting it.
superb rendition
Una hermosa voz
Muy linda voz , excelente cantante de mi época.
Gran interpretación de esta cancion, que tecnicamente es muy difícil de interpretar
Wonderful
Perfection.
Not my type of music but what a stunning voice.

Thank you, Michael Fooks. Being her age, I was around to watch TWTWTW. And, no one sings Malaguena Selarosa as well as she. She was quite talented. And, the show was a bit ahead off it's time.
Muy bien !
Brilliant
It's hard to keep the notes so long for every singer when interpreting this, but she's even added some further touches. Vivid performance.
best version I've ever heard. Tish H does a good one as well. Chingons' version is also fantastic - but this is THE BEST.
There are various sites that sell it. Search for the album, "This is the girl that is Nancy Ames."
Liberty Records. I bought one for about $20 a year ago. They're out there. :))
Thank you all for your comments!
Eu reputo, a melhor interpretação.
Apesar de ser uma cantora norte americana.

how can one find this album??? Thanks!
Being Spanish with parents and grandparents from the Philippines, I was exposed to many Spanish songs. Mom said the Mexicans had the most beautiful love songs. Thank you for this. Do you have her version of El Ayer to share? My mom's albums seems to have disappeared. Thanks!
Yes its a Mexican anthem, composed by Mexican maestro Elpidio Ramírez.
Además de hermosa canta así?......no es real, es un sueño demás hermoso.
