Alejandro Lerner

Alejandro Lerner is an acclaimed singer/songwriter from Argentina who rose to national fame during the early '80s. While his popularity as an icon of the mid-'80s Argentine pop/rock scene would diminish steadily over time, he continued to release new albums with regularity. His latter-day music was generally well received among longtime fans and critics, earning him a number of Grammy nominations. Over the years, his songs have been covered frequently. Among the more notable artists to cover his songs have been Santana, Ricardo Montaner, Luis Miguel, Carole King, Cristian Castro, Mark Anthony, La Ley, and Alejandra Guzmán; moreover, the Lerner song "Nuestro Amor Se Ha Vuelto Ayer" became a chart-topping smash hit for Victor Manuelle in 2006. ~ Jason Birchmeier
