Trinidad López III (May 15, 1937 – August 11, 2020), known as Trini Lopez, was an American singer and guitarist. His first album included a cover version of Pete Seeger’s If I Had a Hammer, which earned him a gold disc. His other hits included Lemon Tree, I’m Comin’ Home, Cindy, and Sally Was a Good Old Girl. He designed two guitars for the Gibson Guitar Corporation, which are now collector’s items. A documentary on his life and career, My Name Is Lopez, was released in April 2022. Lopez was born in Dallas, Texas, on May 15, 1937, to Trinidad López II, who worked as a singer, dancer, actor, and musician in Mexico, and Petra González. Lopez was of Mexican descent; his parents married in their hometown of Moroleón, Guanajuato, before moving to Dallas. He had four sisters (two deceased) and a brother, Jesse, who is also a singer. He grew up on Ashland Street in the Little Mexico neighborhood of Dallas and attended grammar school and N. R. Crozier Tech High School. He dropped out of high school in his senior year to help support the family financially. Lopez formed his first band in Wichita Falls, Texas, at the age of 15. Around 1955–56, Lopez and his band worked at The Vegas Club, a nightclub owned by Jack Ruby.
