José José, with over 250 million records sold, is one of Latin America’s most successful singers. On his 1981 album Gracias, there’s a true gem: a Spanish version of the Bill Withers classic Just the Two of Us – here titled Solo Tú Y Yo.

In South America, the record isn’t rare at all, but in Europe it’s hard to come by. If you find it, you’re holding a piece of Latin-soaked smooth-jazz-pop that blends Bill Withers’ vibe with José José’s unmistakable voice.

Bill Withers à la mexicana – it doesn’t get any smoother.
