Sunny Skylar attached these new lyrics to the 1935 tune “Noche de Ronda” by prolific Mexican composer Agustin Lara (though it was copyrighted in the name of his songwriter sister Maria Teresa Lara). Not a major record hit for Andy (#64 peak on the Music Vendor charts), this flipside to his “Are You Sincere” did receive a fair amount of radio airplay and should be familiar to many of his fans.
