Here is information on the songwriter of Quizas Quizas Quizas ( I thought I did this already, but maybe in my head):
Name of writer: Fernando Gurmensindo Farrés Vázquez
DOB: January 13, 1902 in Fernando in Quemado de Güines, Villa Clara, Cuba
DOD: December 22, 1985 in North Bergen, New Jersey.
Also, he wrote other songs that have versions in English, here are 2. These songs go back to the 40s and may have originals on 78. Can anyone help find the original in Sp and author(s) of English lyrics to post these 2. There are many covers.
Acercate mas / Come closer to me. I think Nat King Cole has both Spanish and English recordings, but not the first of either.
Tres palabras / Without you
(Eng./Sp.)
ADDITION: I went back and I see that both of these are already in SHS, with authors of English lyrics, but not original recordings of the Spanish versions, don't know about the English versions. Nat King Cole Spanish reordings are always covers. LESSON learned: ALWAYS check the SHS database FIRST.
