Consuelo Velázquez

Her first compositions, "No me pidas nunca", "Pasional" and "Déjame quererte", were from the genre "naturaleza romántica", which emphasizes nature's beauty and strength.

Velázquez's work as an actress in the 1938 Argentinian movie Noches de Carnaval[5] directed by filmmaker Julio Saraceni was unique for her career.

[9] After its recording by the Spanish-Mexican baritone Emilio Tuero,[1] the famous American pianist and singer Nat "King" Cole made the first adaptation of the song in English in 1944.

From then on, it was interpreted and performed by hundreds of artists around the world, such as Pedro Infante, Javier Solís, The Beatles, Plácido Domingo, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Luis Mariano (who popularized it France), Dalida, Sonora Santanera, Xavier Cugat and his Orchestra, The Ventures, Antonio Machín, Lucho Gatica, Vera Lynn, Andrea Bocelli, Filippa Giordano, Luis Miguel, Sara Montiel, José Carreras, Ray Conniff and his Orchestra, Diana Krall, Zoé, Susana Zabaleta and Mónica Naranjo among others.

Part of its great success in the United States was the contextualization of the song towards women who waited for their husbands during World War II.

As her last artistic contribution, she performed piano in the most recent album of the Mexican singer Cecilia Toussaint titled Para mi... Consuelo, which contains songs by Velázquez.

In 1977 the concert pianist also received the Award of Peace of the United Nations, together with her colleague the teacher Ramon Inclan Aguilar and the journalist and singer Wilbert Alonzo Cabrera, Lola Beltrán and Maria Medina.
