Víctor Manuel

Víctor Manuel San José Sánchez (born 7 July 1947) is a Spanish singer-songwriter. He has been married to the Spanish singer and actress Ana Belén since 1972. He and his wife are considered symbols of the Spanish Transition,[citation needed ] and his songs and albums often feature boldly-titled works with social and political content.

Víctor Manuel edited some singles an EP and an album by the former Spanish discography Belter from 1966 to 1969

In 1970 Victor Manuel signed for Universal. After his first album, his political songs caused the label to refuse to promote his records, which resulted in one commercial failure after another.

In 1978 Víctor Manuel signed for CBS. Many people didn't understand why a label could sign a non-commercial singer. However, five of Víctor's six albums resulted in commercial hits, with four number ones and 12 songs out of 60 at the Top 40 from 1979 to 1986.

After the releasing of Para la ternura siempre hay tiempo, the bestseller of Víctor Manuel, he left CBS and founded his own label, Ion Música, and accorded with BMG the distribution.
