Toda La Vida (4:49)

Emmanuel version:

“Toda La Vida” was released as the first single from Emmanuel’s studio album “Desnudo” (released in United States as “Solo” in 1986). Luis Gómez Escolar did the Spanish adaptation of the original track written by Lucio Dalla. According to the Mexican TV host Gloria Calzada, the first VJ of that country, as the host of Video Éxitos, the first television show about music videos, which aired between 1984 to 1986 on Televisa), this version was the first Spanish adaptation of the single. Emmanuel told her that he was the first one to discover Lucio Dalla’s music in the 80’s. This version, along with Franco’s, ranked at number 32 in the recap made by VH1 Latin America for the 100 Greatest Songs of the 80’s in Spanish. “Toda La Vida” is a staple in every live performance by Emmanuel, and he is often recognized as his signature song.
