In 2001, "El Amor de Mi Vida" was re-recorded and included on Martin's greatest hits album La Historia.

The original song was previously released by Eddie Sierra.

Eddie Sierra, the one who gave Ricky Martin his first big hit

In 1989 he composed "El amor de mi vida" (The love of my life) and never imagined that the Puerto Rican would take the song around the world. How is his life, at 69 years old, working in silence.

Eddie was Eduardo Sierra, Argentine musician, composer, arranger, the same one who in 1978 had gone to work in the United States, summoned by Gloria Gaynor herself. Back to his homeland in 1982, he composed in 1989 El amor de mi vida, a song that was part of his second album (Está todo bien). Little did he know that he was going to give one of his first big hits to a then unknown Puerto Rican: Enrique Martín Morales, a.k.a. Ricky.

-Thirty years after that moment, is there any unknown story about that song?

-It was magic. When I finished the album, I told my manager: "That has to be the theme song. And he didn't take the trip. He didn't think so. It was destiny, because if that had been my airplay cut, it would have become known and Ricky would never have recorded it, because he was looking for unknown songs.

-And how did Ricky choose the song?

-A Mexican producer came to Buenos Aires to look for songs for him. He took songs by Alejandro Lerner and César Banana Pueyrredón. I didn't even know about it, until Sergio Denis called me and told me that my song was already a hit in Puerto Rico.

-How long did it take you to compose the song?

-In several days, in stretches. There are songs that come out all at once, but that wasn't the case. I came up with the phrase "The love of my life", which is not an original phrase, and I had to do a check before developing the song, to see if there were many with that phrase. There was Freddie Mercury's, of course.

-Who did you dedicate it to?

-To no one in particular, I had been married for a few years. People think you compose when you fall in love, but you always compose and imagine stories.

-When a song goes so far and continues to be heard over the years, does it make a lot of money?

-The normal thing, as it should be. The author earns money and the interpreter, too. When something like that happens, everybody wins. In this case, I composed it, Ricky projected it to the world. It was a blessing. You have done dance versions, cumbia...

-Is it your most loved song?

-I have others in my repertoire that meant a lot. "Lo mejor de mí", "Siempre te recordaré". It was a beautiful time, despite the country's crises, records were sold. And I was not aware of my fame. I always had a very low profile. The billboard, popularity were always secondary issues for me.

-Did you meet Ricky Martin after you gave him your hit?

-We never crossed paths. The first time he came to the Opera he invited me to his show, but I was on tour and it was impossible. I would like to give him a hug, chat about music. He took a tremendous flight and that is a logical consequence of who works with seriousness and professionalism. Besides, he was a very good waiter. At some point he was going to explode.
