Rest in peace Senior Lopez🙏 Thank you for these unforgetable songs in my childhood. Just heard the news in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. I was 4 when "If i had a Hammer" when it was for months on the radio,and my dad was singing that song all the time. Thatswhy i remember it so good. My dad passed away 2 years ago,so the memories are here now. I am 61 now and i'm crying. The memories again...
