Strangely, the first time I discovered "Sabor A Mi," it was Los Lobos' version, used in the middle of Wayne Wang's debut movie, Chan Is Missing. It wasn't until later that I realized it was a huge standard amongst Spanish-language ballads. I've heard a few others since: El Chicano, Coke, etc. but I've also heard a few versions in passing that I was never able to get the artist name for. Anyone got some favorite versions to share? I'd especially love to find one sung by a female vocalist. Thanks!

    Try the Trio Los Panchos version. As for female vocals, try Maria Martha Serra Lima, argentinian bolero diva. I don't have mp3s here, but can hook you up if you don't find them.

    Eydie Gorme and Los Panchos is the most famous version and the one everyone tries to emulate and copy.
    You can catch original composer Alvaro Carrillo on youtube on a nice performance.
