"María Elena" is a 1932 popular song written by Lorenzo Barcelata ( Spanish words and music). It was published by Peer International Corporation of Mexico. [1] The English lyrics are by Bob Russell.
The song was a number one hit for the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra with Bob Eberly on vocals. [2] The recording was made on March 19, 1941 by Decca Records as catalog number 3698. The flip side was " Green Eyes". The record first reached the Billboard charts on May 16, 1941 and lasted 17 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 1 on June 14, 1941. The record was number one for two weeks. [3] Since "Green Eyes" was also a No. 1 hit, this was a major double-sided hit recording.
