Manny Manuel was born on the mountain town of Orocovis, Puerto Rico. He studied elementary and high school in the José Rojas Cortés School at his hometown. Since a young age, he started presenting himself in talent shows and other musical activities. He later joined the group Tempo Merenguero, and subsequently became a vocalist and choreographer for the merengue duo of Mayra y Celinés.
After recording these two albums with Los Sabrosos del Merengue, Manuel decided to pursue a solo career. In June 1994, Manuel left the group and in October 1 of the same year debuted as a solo artist. Several months later, he released his first solo album titled Rey de Corazones. The album was certified platinum after a few weeks. With the success of the album, on November, 1995, Manuel presented himself at the Luis A. Ferré Performing Arts Center selling out six shows.
In 1996, he released his second album titled Auténtico followed by concerts at the Guaynabo Performing Arts Center and at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum. Manuel released his next album titled Es Mi Tiempo in 1998 which included the hits Como Duele, Margarita, and a cover of Alejandro Sanz' song Corazón Partío. The album took him on a tour through Spain where the album was certified gold. His next album, Lleno de Vida, preceded a second presentation at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum. This concert was recorded and later released on CD.
After a change of labels and a move to the United States, Manuel released the album Serenata in 2003, which included covers of traditional romantic songs. The album sold over 100,000 and Manuel followed it with yet another presentation at the Coliseum in 2004. For this album, he was also nominated for a Latin Grammy.
In 2007, he released another album, Tengo Tanto, which included fusions of merengue with other Caribbean rhythms like vallenato. Manuel was one of several artists selected to perform in "KQ Live Concert" on September 27, 2008, organized by KQ 105 FM, the event included several renowned artists from Puerto Rico and other Latin American locations

Manny Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que yo te conocí
Recuerdo aquella tarde
Pero no recuerdo ni cuando te vi
Pero si te diré
Que yo me enamoré
De tus hermosos ojos
Toma esta canción que lleva
Alma, corazón y vida
Esas tres cositas nada más te doy
Como no tengo fortuna
Esas tres cosas te ofrezco
Alma, corazón y vida y nada más
Alma para conquistarte
Corazón para quererte
Y vida para vivirla junto a ti
Amor, amor
The lyrics of "Alma Corazón Y Vida" by Manny Manuel express the nostalgia of a man who remembers the first time he laid eyes on the woman he loves. He recalls the moment he met her but cannot remember precisely when he saw her for the first time. Nonetheless, he confesses that he fell in love with her because of her beautiful eyes and red lips that he will never forget. The singer then offers the woman a song that symbolizes the three things he has to offer her, which are his soul, his heart, and his life. He acknowledges that he does not have a fortune to offer her, but he promises to love and cherish her for the rest of his life.
The song embodies the traditional Latin American values of love, devotion, and romance. The lyrics are filled with passion, tenderness and a sense of sincerity that is often missing in modern love songs. Manny Manuel's voice complements the lyrics perfectly, conveying a sense of longing and desire, with a hint of sadness. The song's melody is simple, yet powerful, and it draws the listener in, adding to the overall emotional quality of the song.
Overall, "Alma Corazón Y Vida" is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences who appreciate the artistry of traditional Latino music.

Letra de don Adrian Flores Alvan de Sullana Piura Perú. Esta composición la hizo cuando tenia 23 años hoy con casi 86 años. “El tema ha dado la vuelta al mundo y ha sido interpretado por famosos artistas como Libertad Lamarque, Pedro Vargas, Raphael, Django, Leo Marini, Los Panchos y Paloma San Basilio, pero Adrián sigue tan humilde como siempre. VIVA EL PERU CARAJO.
