Meeting Carlos Ramirez, Voice Actor in Three Caballeros

Carlos Ramirez sang the song MEXICO in the Walt Disney animated
feature THE THREE CABALLEROS (1945). He was a famous singer in his
home country and appeared in Hollywood musicals such as TWO GIRLS AND
A SAILOR, BATHING BEAUTY, NIGHT AND DAY and EASY TO WED.

In the 1960s and 1970s he was a star performer in night clubs around
North America, and his travels brought him to Montreal, where he was
always popular. He frequented a restaurant in Montreal where I was
working part time while in high school and we would sometimes talk,
mainly about his work in THE THREE CABALLEROS. He had fond memories of
the experience and had found Walt Disney to be both a nice man and
fine talent. To me, he himself fit that description.
