It all started when his father, a onetime musician, bought Lopez a Gibson guitar for $12.
At one club, Frank Sinatra saw him perform and signed him to his label, Reprise, for an eight-year term, Guerrero wrote. The deal produced the hits “If I Had a Hammer,” “This Land Is Your Land,” and “Lemon Tree."Guerrero describes the Trini Lopez sound as one influenced by folk music but with a Latin flare.
Thank you for the memories Trini Lopez. May you sing with the angels now.
Very sad. RIO Trini Lopez
