• 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).
