I love this song reminds me of my grandfather, I thought George did a pretty good job. I think Vincente Fernandez always sung it the best though.

Was that really George? Wow. I was preparing myself for some horrific gringo accent to ruin an otherwise wonderful song, but to his credit, he didn't do half-bad. Mana's uptempo version is pretty good, too.

You're right, though. No one can touch 'Chente.

I didnt expect it to be that good either, but I was impressed.

Like I said before Fernandez will always be the king of that song, but I thought George did pretty good with it. Vicente is a pimp I remember all his music videos he was pulling some 25 year old model, and he was like 55.

Doesn't even sound like him. But cool of him to branch out.
