My God she had so much energy (probably still does), She was seen as a sex symbol literally for decades and that overshadowed her true talent, which of course is the guitar.
@@chitonic She is 83. I don't know why she had her birth year changed from 1941 to 1951. It is absurd to think she was 14 in this video when she was at least 10 years older.
A world-class, award-winning guitarist. I wrote to her, and she sent me 2 items, a signed picture and a picture of her on the cover of a guitar magazine.
My late mother ABSOLUTELY loved watching her on talk shows, ESPECIALLY Johnny Carson. She always said, unlike other Hollywood folks, Charo NEVER spoke ill of anyone, especially other women, although other women would cast "pebbles" at Charo, Charo NEVER did that to other stars. Now, I realized my mother was absolutely correct There's NO "How do you say in English NO 'bulls**t' about Charo". She once said her goal was to " speak perfect English", quite unlike someone who speaks perfect English, but prefers to, how do you say in English "try to pull a fast one" in Espanol ??
God bless her, such energy and genuine enjoyment of her performances. I get the whole language barrier and obsession with her body. Yet this was a truly talented women. Had she been of the Caucasian persuasion, she probably would have been lead dancer on HULLABALOO or head talent scout for go-go dancers at the Whiskey A-Go-Go!🇵🇷🇺🇸🤔
I hate to blow your mind, but Hispanics/Latin people come in all colors/races. Some of us are white/Caucasian, some of us are indigenous/Asian, and some of us are Black. Many of us are a mix of the three, and unless you do a full DNA review on each of us, it's hard to claim that we are some race that is just one race. Charo is as white/Caucasian as one can get. Just because she is a Latin woman with Spanish as her first language doesn't make her non-Caucasian by default.
That is a woman who is about 25 there. I remember growing up and her being the same age as my mother. If my mother was still alive, she would be turning 80 in March.
@@laurenj8888 If you look into her history, she even went to a judge to change her date of birth. She's so silly. She has an amazing body for her age, and I'd be proud of my real age if I were her.
@@bobbievee4455 Actually, Charo is a classically-trained, award-winning, world-renowned flamenco guitarist, who is capable of much more than playing, "like 3 chords".
D@@bobbievee4455Dude, you don't have any idea what a great guitarist she really is. First off, that's the way the song was written, she didn't write it, also she was twice named the top Flamenco guitarist in the world. She can all the chords and leads. She is an accomplished guitarist, dig?
I think she is fab, was fascinated watching her on shows when I was a little kid, such as this time period'65-'70. The thing is , I am now 65, and she was an adult then. So yeah, she was obviously born more like '41 instead of '51. If I were her, I would be bragging instead of fudging , because I admire youthful looking for the age rather hiding the age when you're on top of the aging!
So many men making fun of the fact that she claimed to be younger than she was. I wonder why that was? Shuddup and enjoy her talent. Y'all jealous you're not Charo.
I never had this much energy or enthusiasm for anything, even as a five-year-old on christmas morning!!! I just wanted my Cap'n Crunch. If I were a cop, I'd have to pull her over for D.T.E. (Driving Too Exuberantly).

All good, wish I could locate the clip perhaps Alan has it in his vast archives. But apparently on a Johnny Carson appearance, she showed her changed birth certificate when she had her year of birth changed from 1941 to 1951.
Yep it's 1965, episode summary from tv.com. "Danny's guests are Buddy Ebsen, Clint Eastwood, Fess Parker and Charo. Plus regulars Joyce Van Patten and Harvey Korman. Highlights: Danny is taught how to order a drink by Rowdy Yates star Clint Eastwood as Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen put in their two cents worth in the Saloon sketch. Another Western sketch with Clint and Fess as a pair of brothers just out of jail who are out to get the Sheriff (Danny) who put them there. Harvey Korman plays the station agent. Danny & Fess do a song-and-dance routine to "Doodlin'". Charo sings "La Cucaracha" and "La Bamba". Cartoonist George Feyer turns up to draw for Danny for the sit-down segment at the end of the show."
I hope that I am within my community guidelines by saying that it is sad that she claims to only be 70 right now in 2021. There is no way that woman singing in the video is 14 years old. Just to guess, she looks between 25 and 30 years old in the video above. I remember her being a grown woman back when I was a child. There is no way she is only 10 years older than me now. My mother was 20 years older than me and my mother remembered watching her when they were the same age. If I were close to 80 or a little over 80 and looked like her now, I'd be so proud to share that fact.
I remember seeing her on tv when was about 11. How is she now 2 years younger than me? That means I am younger than my 5 oldest daughters, by Charo's calculations. Great performer, though.
Lol Her American naturalization papers, state that her birth date is March 13, 1941. After immigrating to the United States, Charo said that she was born in 1947, then changed it to 1949. In her final change, she asserted in a 1977 court hearing that her passport and naturalization papers were wrong and that her birthdate was January 15, 1951 😜🤣😂🤪🤫🤫🤫🤥🤥🤥🤥
Which would put her at 24 years old for this film. I think she definitely looks more like 24 here. Not trying to put her down because I love Charo, but just saying.
I'm not 100% sure, but almost 95% that this date is wrong.. She was born in 1951, and unless she had a really good make-up artist to make her look this old, I don't think she is 14 at this very specific event. Even if I push it really hard, I would "gess-timate" she is at leas over 20's in this video.
The talented Charo claims to be born in 1951, yet between two movies she played parts in, in 1963 and this T.V show here.I kind of doubt she was born in 1951. Best guess she was born at least five years earlier then what she claims
I guess you have to have a fondness for her particular music and all the War whoops, I don't. She can't be younger than 18 here, my guess would be 22. In 1966 she married Xavier Cugat who was 66. She, if she is to be believed a 66 year old man married a 15 year old woman, don't think so. Earl Wilson a newspaper columnist covering entertainment wrote: "66 year old Xavier Cugot and his 20 year old Spanish girlfriend, hope to marry in a few days". That would make her 71 today, born in 1946.
she was doing what got her attention and earned her money so good on her, but its a shame we cant just see her slay on that guitar without all the yelping and wriggling. also my whole life i have never understood the popularity of a song about a god damn cockroach.
She’s Spanish. The song is a Spanish folk song. The language is from Spain. Mexicans are indigenous aka Native Americans. Spain invaded Mexico and committed heinous crimes against humanity and imposed their culture, religious beliefs and language on indigenous people of Mesoamerica. You should probably learn your history.
My God she had so much energy (probably still does), She was seen as a sex symbol literally for decades and that overshadowed her true talent, which of course is the guitar.

She was 24. She falsified her birth certificate legally by shaving at least 10 years off her age. Even the Gabor sisters didn't go that far.

Charo was born in 1951. This was from 1965? She was only 14 here? What?
Obviously she's lies about her age.
And to think Charo claims to have been born in 1951, most mature 13 or 14 year old ever LOL.

Will have to do more research, but it is similar to the Danny Kaye show set which she appeared on in 1965.

No she was probably 25 here or something
She was only 14 here?? Wow!
LOL!!!!!
Per Google, she was born in 1951, which makes her 14 at the time of this recording. She is clearly in her 20s in this one from 1965..
Because she lied to changed her age, lmao, her spanish pasaport says she was born in 1941 not 1951, she's almost 80
I need a nitro tab for just watching her energy.
She was.born in 1951 ,??? So she was 14 in 1965 ???? Sure looks older
She was by at least a decade.
I just googled her actual year of birth is 1941

There is absolutely no way in the world she could've done that same act in Spain in 1965. Impossible. In Franco Spain? Forget it!

the date on the video is right, she was born in 1941 had 10 years taken off of her age.
The only wrong date is the legally falsified birth certificate. The video IS from 1965 judging from the hairstyle, clothing, and set design.

And what does not being Mexican have to do with anything? She was born in Spain.
