Trini Lopez at PJ's is the debut, live album by singer and guitarist Trini Lopez, released in 1963 on Reprise Records.[2][3] Many of the tracks are folk music songs. The record was a result of Don Costa hearing him perform at PJ's nightclub, and signing him to his new Reprise record label. The club floor was miked to get the crowd reaction on the record, as the producer and Frank Sinatra wanted the "live" experience to come across in the recording. The cover shows Lopez with his Barney Kessel guitar, outside the nightclub. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 in August 1963 where it remained for 6 weeks.
The album includes a cover of "If I Had a Hammer", which reached number one in 36 countries (No. 3 in the United States). It sold over one million copies,[4] and was awarded a gold disc.[5] Lopez also performs a version of the traditional Mexican song "La Bamba". This version was later re-issued as a single in 1966.
