Archive material and source history
Trini Lopez was born Trinidad Lopez III in Dallas, Texas, in 1937. He started playing guitar early and broke into music in the late 1950s. His version of Pete Seeger's 'If I Had A Hammer' came out in 1963 and became his biggest hit.
He recorded live albums like 'Trini Lopez at PJ's' and 'Trini Lopez Live at Basin Street East' that captured his energetic performances. His setlists mixed folk, pop, and Latin songs, including 'America,' 'Adelita,' and 'La Bamba.'
In the 1960s, Lopez was involved in a legal dispute with a photographer over copyright claims. He continued recording and performing for decades, with albums ranging from Christmas music to Disney songs to later Latin-themed releases.
