Hmm bob dylan, aretha franklin and ben e king did a song about spanish harlem but from what you've described id think it would be the Ben E King version......same lyrics as Aretha but i assume you would have mentioned if the singer was female...Spanish Harlem(Jerry Leiber/Phil Spector)There is a rose in Spanish HarlemA red rose up in Spanish HarlemIt is a special one, it's never seen the sunIt only comes out when the moon is on the runAnd all the stars are gleamingIt's growing in the street right up through the concreteBut soft and sweet and dreamin'There is a rose in Spanish HarlemA red rose up in Spanish HarlemWith eyes as black as coal that looks down in my soulAnd starts a fire there and then I lose controlI have to beg your pardonI'm going to pick that roseAnd watch her as she grows in my gardenI'm going to pick that roseAnd watch her as she grows in my gardenThere is a rose in Spanish HarlemLa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la laThere is a rose in Spanish HarlemLa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la laThere is a rose in Spanish Harlem ....Got to no 4 in US in 1961 and re-released in 1986.....if this aint it lol holla
