In 1939, he formed his own rumba band, "Rumba With Ros". In 1941, he gained recognition with the track "Los Hijos de Buda" and was playing regularly at the elegant Coconut Grove club on Regent Street, which attracted members of high society.
In 1946, he owned a club, a dance school, a record company and an artist's agency. His band grew to 16 musicians. His album The Wedding Samba sold three million copies in 1949.
In 1951, he bought the Coconut Grove and renamed it Edmundo Ros' Dinner and Supper Club. The club became popular for its atmosphere and music; it closed in 1965. From 1964 to 1968 he was the owner of the internationally known and very exclusive Edmundo Ros Club on Regent Street.
His album Rhythms of The South (1957) was one of the first high-quality LP stereo records. He was with Decca records from 1944 to 1974.
In 1975 (at the age of 65) he retired and moved to Jávea, Alicante (Spain). On January 8, 1994, he gave his last public performance. Ros was awarded the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in the 2000 New Year's Honours List.

Amor Amor
Edmundo Ros and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This word so sweet, that I repeat, means I adore you
Amor, amor, my love
Would you deny this heart that I have placed before you
I can't find another word with meaning so clear
My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear
But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear
Amor, amor, my love
When you're away there is no day and nights are lonely
Amor, amor, my love
Make life divine, say you'll be mine and love me only
I can't find another word with meaning so clear
My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear
But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear
As this soft caressing word I know
Amor, amor, amor.
The song "Amor Amor" by Edmundo Ros and His Orchestra is a love song that expresses the deep passion and admiration one feels towards their love interest. The lyrics are simple yet meaningful as they convey the strong desire to be loved and the emptiness felt when away from their beloved. The word "amor" is used repeatedly throughout the song as it’s a powerful word that encompasses all the feelings and emotions one might feel in a love relationship.
The singer expresses how the word "amor" is so special and full of meaning that no other word can quite match its depth. Even when trying to find other words to express their love, they all fall short compared to the significance of "amor." The repetition of the word throughout the song further emphasizes its importance and significance.
The lyrics also express a fear of rejection, as the singer questions whether their love interest would deny the heart they have placed before them. However, the hope of being loved in return is also expressed, with the desire for the love interest to say they will be theirs and love them only. The song ultimately captures the intensity and beauty of love and how it can bring meaning and purpose to one's life.
