About the Book

This is the story about Trini Lopez, a man who grew up in the Mexican barrio and black ghetto of Dallas, Texas. In spite of, or maybe because of the prejudice and the poverty he experienced as a youth, he worked hard to achieve his goal of providing a better life for himself, his parents and siblings. Trini did not realize his dreams would take him from the fields picking tomatoes sixteen hours a day in Indiana, to dining with Princess Grace and Prince Ranier of Monaco, to the palaces of Europe and to every continent in the world (except Antarctica). People tend to think of Trini as overnight success. In truth, Trini did not become an overnight success and in no way was his rise to fame meteoric. Trini stuggled as a singer for nearly 12 years before being "discovered" by Frank Sinatra at a night club named PJ's in Hollywood, California. Come along with Trini as he shares the incredible stories of his life and the exciting adventures he has experienced over the last seven decades. This book contains over 300 pictures, allowing you to see and enjoy some of the excitement of Trini's world. By the Grace of God and his hard work and his music, this remarkable singer will live on and on and on...
