Por un amor - Linda Ronstadt - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Por un Amor" is a heartfelt ranchera ballad, widely considered a standard in Mexican music. Written by Gilberto Parra in 1940, "Por un Amor" expresses the anguish and suffering of unrequited love. Although many notable names like Lucha Reyes, Pedro Infante, and Vicente Fernández have performed and recorded the song, it was Linda Ronstadt's rendition in her 1987 album, Canciones de Mi Padre, that introduced it to a wider, global audience. Produced by Peter Asher, the album was recorded in a period when Linda Ronstadt was rediscovering her Mexican heritage. Canciones de Mi Padre went on to become one of the most successful Spanish-language albums of all time, selling over 2.5 million copies in the US alone. Notably, Linda Ronstadt's sincere interpretation was reminiscent of the legendary Lola Beltrán. The album, a tribute to her father's favorite songs, was later recognized for its cultural significance, earning a place in both the Grammy Hall of Fame and the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
