Which group performs Besame Mucho in Great Expectations'98?

Two other performers sang in the movie as seen here:

Great expectations

I'm not sure what you looked up on IMDB, but there are several credited none of which in that movie belong to The Coasters.

In the soundtrack listing on IMDB for that movie, this is what I see:

"Bésame Mucho"

Here's the version by Ray Conniff:



and the one by Pedro Vargas

It's been a long time since I posted this question, but I have not found the answer yet. I's a mystery. I even have got in touch with the current "The Coasters" management and they claimed they did not have any relation with that piece of music.

However, it exists at that moment of the movie as I described earlier. Check the above mentioned http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119223/soundtrack link. The 13th item seems to belong to "The Coasters".

Click here for the soundtrack available on Amazon.com. The last song in the list is the one you seek. It says the artist is Cesaria Evora and you can listen to a sample of it.

Do a Google search with this phrase:

Besame mucho by the coasters


You'll find numerous youtubes and other entries.

Thanks for the reply. But it is neither "C. Evora" nor "The Coasters". According to the linked The IMDB page it's "The Coasters", but it is definitely not The Coasters. That piece of music exists in the movie but not in the soundtrack album (!). That's the problem. There is a mysterious mistake somewhere. I have got The Coasters' (1960) version of Besame Mucho (parts 1 & 2) for many years. And, as I stated above, I double checked it through the current management of The Coasters. They denied it. I have collected about 300 versions of Besame Mucho so far, but have not got a clue about that version. I know every single Besame Mucho that exists on Youtube.

Why not go back to the IMDB page and find contact info for the director, producer or studio and ask them?

I know which song you try to find 'coz same in here. I'm looking for that song. It has a electro guitar intro and then old lady say Chickyboom... So far I couldn't find that song too. If you find it,please let me know.

I know which song are you talking about but no. I don't know either. All I know is the song has a great elektro intro and the old lady says chicky boom. If you find the song,let me know.

This is the version that comes to mind for me:



Like, back around 1960-61,while in Japan.

I too have chased this down the rabbit~hole, and my best assumption is that the version in question is by an unsigned band connected in some way with Mexican director Alphonso Cuarón. It has that 90s feel. I say unsigned since all fimmakers are required to detail all publishing info whenever a song is used and here its unlisted.
