Trini Lopez

Geboren am 15. 5. 1937 als Trinidad Lopez III im texanischen Dallas. Vor den weltbekannten Hits lag eine lange Durststrecke. 1952 gründete Trini Lopez in Wichita Falls seine erste eigene Kapelle namens The Big Beats. Über den Buddy-Holly-Produzenten Norman Petty erhielt er seinen ersten Vertrag bei Columbia für eine One-Off-Single, die jedoch floppte. Anschließend nahm er fuderweise 45er für Volk und vor allem King Records auf, die ebenfalls Ladenhüter blieben. 1962 scheiterte der Versuch, Lopez als Nachfolger des tödlich verunglückten Buddy Holly bei dessen Crickets zu etablieren.

Ein Jahr später gelang der Durchbruch. Lopez spielte im Nachtclub von Los Angeles mit seinen Assistenten Dave Shriver (Bass) und Gene Riggio (Schlagzeug). Dort hörte ihn Frank Sinatra, der Triní für seine eigene Label-Neugründung Reprise unter Vertrag nahm. Producer Don Costa erkannte Lopez' Live-Potential und ließ dessen Platten vor Publikum aufnehmen. Die Mischung aus Latin, Folk, Pop und Rock'n' Roll kam blendend an. Titel wie 'If I Had A Hammer', “Kansas City', 'Lemon Tree' oder (in Deutschland) 'America' gelangten in die Charts (13 US-Treffer zwischen 1963 und 1968). Im US-Kino-Hit “The Dirty Dozen' ('Das dreckige Dutzend') spielte Lopez 1966 neben Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, John Cassavetes und anderen Stars die Rolle des Pedro Jiminez. Weitere US-Spielfilme waren ' - Marriage On The Rocks' ('Dreimal nach Mexiko', 1965), 'The Poppy Is Also A Flower' ('Mohn ist auch eine Blume', 1966), “The Wheels Of Hell' ('Zwei himmlische Schlitzohren', 1982), 'Social Suicide' ('Chili con carne', 1993). Lopez Ist weiter permanent aktiv, gibt Konzerte, veröffentlicht CDs. Zu seinen letzten gehören 'Dance Party' (1998), 'Aylole - Aylola' (2000), 'Dance The Night Away' (2001) und “My Texas Roots' (2002).

Am 12. April 2002 wurde der Entertainer in die Las Vegas Casino Legends Hall Of Fame aufgenommen, im Oktober präsentierte ihm zu Ehren das Vistas Film Festival in Dallas, Texas, eine Retrospektive seiner Kino-Arbeiten.
