Miguel Río - Memorias De Un Ser Humano 1974

Spanish singer and songwriter Miguel Ríos was born in June 1944. As a student, Ríos grew closer to his passion by singing with his school's chorus and listening to the radio every time twist songs were on the air. By working at a music store, Ríos had the opportunity to meet people related to the local music scene who gave him a chance to start singing in front of an audience, starting as a backup singer. After recording a demo, he decided to send it to a major label in Madrid, choosing Philips. The waiting ended in 1961 when the artist was contacted by the label. That same year, Ríos moved from Granada to the Spanish capital city, recording an EP called El Twist in 1962 as Mike Rios. Two years and six EPs, Ríos was starring in his first movie, called Dos Chicas Locas, Locas. In 1965, the singer left Philips, and after working temporarily with Sonoplay, Ríos signed up to Hispavox, releasing the smash hit single "Rio," and later his first full-length, Mira Hacia Ti. In May 1970, a second album came out which included "Himno a la Alegria," based on Beethoven's ninth symphony; it became Ríos' first song to reach the Billboard charts. After leaving Hispavox during the mid 70's, Miguel Ríos released a string of albums that fall into the progressive-symphonic category. What he did before and after this trilogy does not, as far as those brave enough to have heard Ríos' discography claim.The first part of the trilogy was the Memorias De Un Ser Humano album. Among with the remaining two, it saw the light of day on CD not before 2005, sandwiched in a double compilation called "Miguel Vol. 3 - Historia De Una Búsqueda (1974-1977)" ("Miguel Vol. 3 - Story Of A Search (1974-1977)"). It also included an unreleased track, "The Boy That Didn't Get Born" (real title).
