Luisito Rey

Luis Gallego Sánchez (28 June 1945 – 9 December 1992), known professionally as Luisito Rey, was a Spanish singer-songwriter and music executive.

His natural talent helped him to get out of Spain and travel through many countries, including Argentina, where he met his life companion, Italian model Marcela Basteri.

His first taste of success was with the song "Frente a una copa de vino" (In front of a glass of wine), a ballad classic that became his biggest and only major hit in Latin America.

[2] Other hit songs include La Gran Ciudad (The Great City) and El Loco (The Crazy Man).

Rey once stated that Pablo Picasso painted a small sketch of him, used in one of his greatest hits albums, and that singer Frank Sinatra was interested in recording La Gran Ciudad.
