Eydie Gormé & Trio Los Panchos joined forces in 1964 for a collection of very successful Spanish-language standards album called "Amor". "Sabor a Mí" became closely identified with Gormé and emerged as one of her signature tunes. The disc was later reissued as "Canta en Español". In 1965, a sequel appeared called "More Amor" (later reissued as "Cuatro Vidas"). Her last album with Los Panchos was a 1966 Christmas collection, "Navidad Means Christmas", later reissued as "Blanca Navidad". Gormé also recorded other Spanish albums in her career, including the Grammy nominated "La Gormé" (1976), a contemporary outing. The 1977 release "Muy Amigos/Close Friends", a duet collection with Puerto Rican singer Danny Rivera, also received a Grammy nomination.
