Dora Luz obit

Singer and Actress Dora Luz had died

She was not on the list.

Dora Luz was the stage name of a Mexican singer and recording artist. She is known for her performance in Walt Disney's The Three Caballeros (1944), in which she sings Agustín Lara's "You Belong to My Heart" to Donald Duck. She also recorded "Destino", by Armando Domínguez, for Disney and Salvador Dalí's Destino in 1945.

Strikingly beautiful and immensely talented, Mexican singer Dora Luz was a popular radio and stage performer from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s. She recorded her hits (more than 20 songs, including "Falsa" and "Prisionero del mar") for the Victor label and, after performing at nightclubs in Mexican cities, began touring the United States. She sang at prominent restaurants, hotels, and nightclubs in Los Angeles, Omaha, Chicago, and other cities before Walt Disney brought her to Hollywood to appear and sing "You Belong to My Heart" (Agustín Lara's "Solamente una vez") in The Three Caballeros (1944). She also appeared in a Mexican musical, Su gran ilusión (1945), and sang the title song for another Disney project, Destino (2003).
