Amar y Querer is a classic romantic ballad by Mexican singer Jose José, known as El Príncipe de la Canción. It was released in 1977 in Mexico - the song later appeared on the 1994 compilation album 20 Triunfadoras De Jose Jose. The track blends Latin pop and bolero elements and features Jose José’s expressive, emotive vocal delivery. The lyrics, written by Manuel Alejandro and Ana Magdalena, contrast loving with merely wanting: love is selfless and enduring, while desire is fleeting. This tune is widely regarded as one of Jose José’s signature songs.
