Tony Camargo, born Antonio Camargo Carrasco on January 6, 1926, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, was a prominent Mexican singer known for his contributions to música típica. He was the son of singers Manuel Camargo and Guadalupe Carrasco. Throughout his career, which began in 1942, Camargo was often compared to the legendary Beny Moré, "El Bárbaro del Ritmo," with whom he collaborated on various projects, including the boleros "Esta Noche Corazón" and "Sin Razón Ni Justicia." Despite his significant contributions to music, Camargo did not receive the same level of recognition as Moré. His extensive career included performances on radio, television, and in cinema, as well as national tours and hundreds of recordings. He worked alongside notable artists such as Agustín Lara, María Victoria, and José Alfredo Jiménez, and performed with orchestras led by figures like Dámaso Pérez Prado and Pablo Beltrán Ruiz. One of Camargo's notable recordings was "El Año Viejo," composed by Crescencio Salcedo, which was part of his first long play released in 1953. He passed away on May 8, 2020, in Mérida, Mexico.
