"Patricia" is a popular song by Pérez Prado with lyrics by Bob Marcucci, published in 1958.
The song is best known in an instrumental version by Prado's orchestra that became the last record to ascend to No.1 on the Billboard Jockeys and Top 100 charts, both of which gave way the next week to the then newly-introduced Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Prado's "Patricia" entered the U.S. Cash Box chart week ending June 7, 1958, making No.
Prado's "Patricia" entered the UK Singles Chart in the week of July 25, 1958, peaking at No.
[3] In 1960, Prado released a new stereo recording of the tune, and re-recorded it a third time in a "twist" version issued in 1962 that re-charted in the U.S. Perry Como's recording of "Patricia" from 1950 bears no resemblance to Prado's tune.
