My friend and former Ciudad Magazine colleague Eileen Rosaly is the niece of acclaimed music producer Peter Rosaly. He produced those classic Eydie Gormé albums with the Trio Los Panchos in 1964-65. (Raul Malo once told me he believes it was a legal requirement for each Latino household to own "Amor.") There isn't much writing I can find about how the Gormé/Panchos collaboration came about (she's a daughter of Sephardic Jewish immigrants), nor about how Rosaly, a Puerto Rican, got involved. But here's one clue: Los Panchos is generally considered to be a Mexican group, but one of its original members, Hernándo Avilés, was Puerto Rican. By the time the Gormé albums were produced, he had been replaced by another Boricua, Johnny Albino. Rosaly (above left) also worked with Mexican greats such as Javier Solis (right). Here's a fantastic example of their work together.
