OUR DAILY OLDIES: OUR SONG TODAY IS 'I MISS YOU SO' BY PAUL ANKA AND THE SPANISH VERSION BY LA LUPE. LA LUPE STORY IS A SAD ONE. BY THE LATE 1950s, LA LUPE WAS A YOUNG SINGER IN CUBA, DOING VERSIONS IN SPANISH OF POPULAR AMERICAN SONGS IN HER PECULIAR STYLE AND VOICE. AFTER 1959, FRUSTRATED BY CASTRO'S REVOLUTION, SHE LEFT CUBA FOR NEW YORK. IN NEW YORK SHE FOUND A LARGE LATINO AUDIENCE BUT THOSE PEOPLE HAD A DIFFERENT MUSICAL TASTE AND PREFERENCES SO SHE HAD TO CHANGE HER GENRE AND STYLE. SHE WAS SUCCESSFUL, SHE RECORDED QUITE A FEW RECORDS AND SHE EVEN MARRIED A FAMOUS LATINO MUSICIAN BUT SOMEHOW, YEARS LATER SHE WAS ALONE, BROKE, POOR, ON WELFARE AND ADDICTED TO DRUGS... SHE DIED, STILL YOUNG AND HOMELESS.
