This realistic tale about the search for the talented and
enigmatic character called Rodriguez reminded me a bit of the also mysterious voices
of the couple’s personal song of Blue Valentin ( I have always
recommended this movie to everyone)
Even if the song itself is amazing what really made it more interesting
is the story behind it. ‘You and me’ was originally recorded by Penny and the Quarters
in the 1970s. It was released on a compilation album which was unnoticed by the
public. The members of the band were unknown; their names were not appearing
anywhere, even when the movie was released and became a hit.
Finally, a year after the movie was out the daughter of the
singer recognized her mum’s voice:
Four decades after this woman and her brothers created a
beautiful song, she discovers that their voices are part of a new generation who
sing out and loud a hymn about love ‘You and me’
