What’s the movie about?
Sports drama with Kevin Costner as coach, who turns young runners into capable competitors in the small town of McFarland.
There is a background song at the coach’s daughter’s birthday party by the band that is there and it goes something like “ Never never ever loved a girl like you before” Does anyone know who the group is who sang it and the title of the song. The movie is McFarland USA
The song is Suavecito, by Malo. A minor hit in the ’70s.
I should have said, the original version is by Malo. The version in the movie is by Mariachi Sol de Mexico de Jose Hernandez.
