Description:
"Patricia" is a popular song with music by Perez Prado and lyrics by Bob Marcus, published in 1958. The song is best known in an instrumental version by Prado`s orchestra that became the last record to ascend to #1 on the Billboard Jockeys and Top 100 charts, both of which gave way the next week to the then newly introduced Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was also number one on the R&B Best Sellers for two weeks.[1] Prado also recorded the song with a vocal by Perry Como in 1959[citation needed]. Prado re-recorded and re-charted the song in a 1962 "twist" version.
