Veliz was a school principal at the time and was singing as a hobby. After his song became a hit in the Rio Grande Valley, Veliz went on tour around Texas and in the summer of 1980, it became a "hit" song.

Since he was a school principal, he was invited to speak at several Texas high schools while on tour.

Answer 2

Yes. Andy Veliz was a school principal in Weslaco, Texas when he wrote and recorded the hit song "Lonely Nights Wthout You".

Veliz was singing as a hobby when he recorded the song and soon after its release, the song became a local hit in the area known as the Rio Grande Valley. The "Valley" is an area in the southmost part of south Texas, close to the Mexican border.

Veliz and his manager, Joe A. Leal made preparations to tour Texas to promote his record. Many djs thought that Veliz was wasting his time and money. They felt that being a Mexican-American would hinder the record's success.

Veliz and his manager toured anyway and at the end of summer 1980, his song became a state wide hit in Texas.

Veliz follows a short list of Mexican-Americans who have had record hits from the Rio Grande Valley. First and foremost is Freddy Fender, followed by Noe Pro (hits in the 60s) and Balde Silva (hits in the70s and 80s of Toby Beau fame).

Answer 3

Texas singer Andy Veliz lives in Weslaco, Texas, a city in an area known as the "Rio Grande Valley". This area is in the southmost part of Texas, close to the Mexican border.

He recorded his Texas hit record in 1980 in MP studios in Weslaco, owned by his longtime manager Joe A. Leal.

His song "Lonely Nights Without You" was recorded and released to local radio stations but they would not play it because they felt it was not a good song.

They also told Veliz and his manager Joe Leal that since Veliz was an unknown, they could not play it.

After six weeks of lobbying, AM 1290 radio station KRGV began to play his record. The song became a hit in the area and then was picked up by other stations in Texas.

Veliz was a full time principal at the time, and in the summer of 1980 when he was on vacation, he went on tour and his song finally became a hit.

Veliz has been featured in many television news stories and several newspapers in the area due to the interesting life he has led.
