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.

True Love
Edmundo Ros and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
True love true love
So on and on it will always be
True love true love
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
The lyrics to Edmundo Ros and His Orchestra's song "True Love" speak to the profound and enduring nature of love. The singer declares that he gives his love to his partner, and in turn, his partner gives true love back to him. This exchange of love is described as a constant cycle that will never end - "so on and on it will always be."
The lyrics also suggest that the love between the singer and his partner is protected by a guardian angel. This angel is described as having nothing to do but to give love to the couple, emphasizing the idea that their love is special and divine. The repetition of the phrase "love forever true" reinforces the idea that this love is eternal, and cannot be broken.
