Anyone know who did the original version of Prisionero del mar? I'm assuming it was recorded in the early 40s since the earliest version I could find was from 1941. The composer did record it as well but the earliest version I can find from him is from 1963.
Michael,
Maybe this is the original version:
Ramón Armengod in the movie: "La liga de las canciones" accompanied by the composer Luis Arcaraz
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0219132/
Release date: September 13, 1941 (Mexico)
Ramón Armengod also recorded the song on November 8, 1941 in New York

But than I found a version recorded by Adelina García
She recorded her (original ?) version on June 13, 1940 in Los Angeles.
