In 1993, American recording artist Marc Anthony covered "Hasta Que Te Conocí" on his debut studio album Otra Nota.[16] According to Anthony, he originally had no desire to record in Spanish and turned down an offer by RMM manager Ralph Mercado to record an album in salsa. During a taxi ride, Anthony heard Gabriel's "Hasta Que Te Conocí" on the radio and was compelled to perform the song in salsa. But in a version of this story that appeared in a 2016 article in Billboard, Anthony explains that Little Louis Vega's sister first played the song for him.[17] This led to an agreement between Mercado and Anthony to record an album in salsa with a cover of "Hasta Que Te Conocí" included.[18] After recording this cover, Anthony said, "I never recorded freestyle again."[17]

A curtailed version of the song appears on Anthony's compilation album Desde un Principio: From the Beginning (1999) while the full version appears on his 2003 compilation album Éxitos Eternos.[19][20] Anthony performed a live version of the song at the 1994 Lo Nuestro Awards.[21] The song has been included in his tour setlist including his Nada Personal Tour and the Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony en Concierto tour.[22]

Reception

On the review of the album, Evan Gutierrez of Allmusic cited Anthony's cover as one of the tracks that "showcased well" with his "edgy improvisation and wide vocal range".[16] Anthony's cover received a nomination for Tropical Song of the Year at the 1994 Lo Nuestro Awards,[23] but lost to "El Baile del Perrito" by Wilfrido Vargas y su Orquesta.[24] At the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Latin Awards of 1994, Juan Gabriel received an award in the Tropical/Salsa Category for "Hasta Que Te Conocí".[25] "Hasta Que Te Conocí" peaked at number thirteen on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart.[26]

Music video

A music video for the song was produced to promote the single which was filmed in New York City.[27] In the video, Anthony and a woman are shown having a happy relationship until she breaks up with him by leaving a note for him leaving Anthony in bitterness. It was included on the video compilation album Mejores Videos de India y Marc Anthony (1996).[28] The video for Anthony's cove was nominated New Artist Latin Clip of the Year at the 1993 Billboard Music Video Awards,[29] but ultimately lost to "Sentir" by Jon Secada.[30]

Reception

David Jeffires of Allmusic called Mana's cover of the song "an excellent, heartfelt take".[31] Carlos Quintana of About.com labeled it as "one of the very best songs of this production."[35] At the 13th Latin Grammy Awards, the song received a nomination for Record of the Year which was awarded to Jesse & Joy for "¡Corre!".[36] In 2013, it was nominated Rock/Alternative Song of the Year at the 25th Lo Nuestro Awards, which went to Maná's other song "El Verdadero Amor Perdona".[37] The success of Maná's cover led to Gabriel receiving an ASCAP Latin award in the pop category.[38]
