This living legend of tango turns 82 today and he's still singing to appreciative audiences in Buenos Aires.
Di Sarli recruited him at the tender age of 18 and later he also went on to sing with Pedro Laurenz - two of the great orquestas of the Golden Age. For more about his interesting career, read this interview in Todotango where you can also listen to a number of his hits. Bill recently forwarded this lovely Youtube video of a recent sub-titled interview with the great man.
When it comes to romantic tangos and valses, he's a master. Don't Sebastian and Maria Ines capture the romance of Junto a tu corazon beautifully in this performance?
