Charro (sang)

"Charro" er en komposition af Billy Strange og Mac Davis og er indsunget af Elvis Presley. "Charro" er titelnummer til Elvis Presley-filmen Charro! fra 1969. (Filmens titel er med udråbstegn, sangens er uden). Sangen blev indspillet af Elvis i Samuel Goldwyn Studio i Hollywood i november 1968.

"Charro" blev udgivet som B-side på en singleplade med "Memories" som A-side. Denne blev i øvrigt skrevet af de samme forfattere som "Charro" og blev indspillet den 27. juni 1968 hos NBC i Burbank, Californien.

"Charro" er endvidere på CD'en fra 18. juli 1995 Command Performances – The Essential 60's Masters, vol. 2[1], som er en samling af de bedre af Elvis' filmsange fra 1960'ernes mange spillefilm.

Underlægningsmusikken til filmen Charro! blev komponeret af Hugo Montenegro, hvis orkester også ledsagede Elvis på titelnummeret[2].
Hugo Montenegro havde et stort internationalt hit i 1966 med temaet fra Sergio Leones 'spaghettiwestern' The Good, the Bad and the Ugly med bl.a. Clint Eastwood.
