That way of walking The girlfriend that Miguel Bosé raised for Julio Iglesias and to whom he dedicated the song Nena
Autobiography Miguel Bosé and the hardest episodes he lived with his father: "I allowed him to dominate me until he ruled me with all the weight and abuse of his tyranny"
This month of March has not been able to start in the best way for
Miguel Bosé
(66).
After the presentation of
his biopic,
on Thursday night he made his debut on TVE's
musical talent
Cover Night
.
In his five decades as a singer, the man from Madrid has reaped endless successes with
tremendously catchy songs
, some of them dedicated to
special women
.
If in
Nena
he gave a
gift to
Giannina Facio
(67), the song
Amiga
is
devoted to Cecilia,
one of the best Spanish voices who died in a car accident on August 2, 1976.
Died at just 27 years old,
the singer-songwriter was already considered one of
the great stars
of the show.
Who does not remember
A bouquet of violets
or
My dear Spain
?
She was one of the eight children of a
diplomatic couple
who traveled with all her offspring through countries as varied as
Jordan
, the United States, the United Kingdom,
Algeria
or Portugal.
That cultural baggage helped her transmit her imprint in the songs that she composed for
Massiel
(75),
Rocío Jurado
or
Julio Iglesias
(79), but also in those that she interpreted by other authors, such as those of
her boyfriend, the composer Luis Gómez-Escobar
(74), who fell into a
deep depression
after the fate of the artist.
For him,
the deepest and most heartfelt song
he has composed was
Amiga
since it was inspired by
Cecilia's
gaze, sweetness and intelligence .
It is true that Gómez-Escobar wrote it to try to
console himself
, without any commercial ambitions, until Miguel Bosé asked him to
give it to him to sing it
since he was also saddened by Cecilia's death.
Despite their youth, the two had forged
a close friendship.
It is one of the themes that appear on his first album,
Linda
(1977).
The singer Cecilia and the composer Luis Gómez Escobar. FAMILY ALBUM
Luis Miguel Dominguín's son
had a hard time recording it
in the studio.
We had to stop several times because he couldn't
hold back the tears.
Cecilia had such a future that she was cut short without eating or drinking it near Benavente (Zamora) when
her car crashed
into a bullock cart that did not have its taillights on.
She and her team were so professional that at the end of the concert in Vigo they did not hesitate to take the car after midnight because around ten in the morning they had to attend to some recordings in Madrid.
Cecilia and Luis's relationship
was not covered by the press.
They both knew how to cover their backs very well because they were quite
reluctant to talk about their private lives.
Also, the composer has never liked crowds and
he has not gone to parties
because of his severe shyness.
On some occasion he has assured that there is only one photo of the two of them together.
The singer Cecilia, in the 70s.GTRES
Cecilia never considered
her music as protest or conformist
since the only thing she tried to do was talk about the issues that concerned her, she believed in
freedom of expression
, telling stories through her songs and praised people who said what they thought
without fear of retaliation.
In terms of music, she adored
María del Mar Bonet
(75),
Mari Trini
, La niña de los peines and the authors
Quintero, León and Quiroga
.
She was an enlightened young woman who, although
she abandoned her law degree
to dedicate herself to music, never neglected culture.
Nor should we forget her boyfriend Luis Gómez-Escobar, a name that has always remained buried due to the
great success of the songs he has composed
for great figures.
It would be surprising if we said that the tune for the Telecinco after-dinner program,
Sálvame
, was her work
(although Bibiana Fernández, then Andersen, sang it at the time).
His repertoire includes
Fiesta
by
Raffaella Carrá,
Amor de hombre
de
Mocedades
,
Amigo Félix
de
Enrique
(65) and
Ana
(53),
Bailar pegados
by
Sergio Dalma
(58) and
María
and
Livin' the crazy life
of
Ricky Martin
(51).
