Richard Anthony (1938-2015, also known as Ricardo Abraham Btesh) was a French Jew born in Egypt. He recorded records in French, English, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, and other languages. He is nicknamed the "Father of Quiet Rock" and the "Bad Boy." In 2011, he received the Order of the Rose from the French Arts and Letters official. He is a popular, legendary singer with over 12 million record sales. The song "Aranjuez, My Love" may be the representative work that established his international reputation. His French chanson style, soft, husky, and soulful voice, and endearing "bad boy" expression when singing were all the rage. Anthony used this alternative performance method to pay tribute to the classical originals. The album topped the Billboard box office charts in France and Spain in the year it was first released. It has achieved good results in the rankings in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, and even Greece. He is often invited to perform the song on live TV shows and often changes his singing style. In the same year, he also sang "En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor" (With Your Love in Aranjuez), which had Spanish lyrics filled in by others and was also loved by fans.

Through YouTube videos, you can see Anthony’s style back then:

Anthony has sung and recorded the song "Aranjuez, Mon Amour" many times in his life. Sometimes he sang "En Aranjuez Con tu Amor" in Spanish. We can easily find his singing videos on YouTube. Until 2012, at the age of 75, he was still lovingly singing on stage the classic songs he sang that became famous worldwide.
