I'm with Crazy Don on this one...released in April 1972 so it could be yours too, Shawna?

You can listen to a sample >here<

MALO - "Suavecito"

Laaaa-ah-ah, la-la, laaaa-ah-ah

Laaaa-ah-ah, la-la, laaaa-ah-ah

Never, I never meet a girl like you in my life

I never, no, no, yeah

I never meet a girl like you in my life

The way that you hold me in the night

The way that you make things go right

Whenever you're in my arms

Girl, you're filling me with all your charms

Suavecito, mi Linda

Suavecito

The feelin' I have inside for you

Suavecito, mi Linda

Suavecito

The feelin', the feelin' that I have inside for you

'Cause ever since the day I met you

I knew you that you were my dream come true

But I think I've found that day

Gonna make you mine in every way

Suavecito, mi Linda

(Baby now)

Suavecito

That we've got the kind of love

Suavecito

I can't believe that it's really true

Suavecito

'Cause you know that, girl, I love you

I need you

Love yoooooou

Yoooooou

yoooooou

yoooooou

All I want is you

If I can't have you

I don't know what to do

La-la, laaaa-ah-ah

La-la, laaaa-ah-ah

Laaaa-ah-ah

La-la, laaaa-ah-ah

Never, I never meet a girl like you in my life

I never, no, no, yeah

I never met a girl like you in my life

'Cause I know we'll always be

Together just you and me

From here on you're gonna see

You'll be mine until eternity

Suavecito, mi Linda

(Baby, now)

Suavecito

That we've got the kind of love

Suavecito, mi Linda

I can't believe that it's really true

(Suavecito)

'Cause you know, girl, that I love you

(Suavecito, mi Linda)

(Suavecito)

I need you

Suavecito

I Looooooove you

I will be a rebel and not agree with anyone, just to be ornery. The first thing I thought of was "A Girl Like You" by Edwin Collins. I know it doesn't have a Latin beat and the lyrics aren't just right, but I suppose it could fit the bill.

A Girl Like You

Edwyn Collins

I've never known a girl like you before

Now just like in a song from days of yore

Here you come a knockin', knockin' at my door

And I've never met a girl like you before

You give me just a taste so I want more and more

Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw

Now you've got me crawlin', crawlin' on the floor

And I've never met a girl like you before

You've made me acknowledge the devil in me

I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically

Hope that I'm talkin' allegorically

Know that I'm talkin' about the way I feel

And I've never known a girl like you before

Never, never, never, never

Never known a girl like you before

This old town's changed so much

Don't feel like I belong

Too many protest singers

Not enough protest songs

And now you've come along

Yes you've come along

And I've never met a girl like you before

Enhancing The Trivia Dept:

When Latin funk and Latin rock had its brief moment in the sun during the '70s, a number of groups emerged. Most were imitation Santanas, but at least Malo could boast that it had a real Santana in the lineup. Carlos Santana's brother Jorge Santana headed Malo, and he possessed a little of his brother's vocal sound. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough to keep Malo going more than a few years. Their debut LP for Warner Bros. reached number 14 on the pop charts, but it was all downhill from there. The single Suavecito peaked at number 18 pop. They got very little attention from R&B or funk fans. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
