Massiel (real name María de los Ángeles Santamaría Espinosa) is a Spanish singer. She was born on August 2, 1947 in Madrid. She won the Eurovision Song Contest 1968 with the song "La, la, la", which earned 29 points, beating out famous British pop crooner Cliff Richard, who placed second that year. She continues to perform in Stage shows, and records music, covering the music of Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill.

Massiel appeared in the film Cantando a la Vida filmed in 1968, which profiled a winner of a European Song festival suddenly disappearing. Massiel had the lead role as "Maria". The movie was filmed in Andalucía, Spain. Massiel sang the entire soundtrack to the film, and raked in 9,020,397 pesetas from the box office.

She re-recorded her Eurovision winner "La, la, la" in 1997.

In 2001 Massiel fell out of the window of her second-floor flat while "trying to close the shutters" and was hospitalized for a short period afterwards.
