You hear people make a lot of comparisons to Elvis Presley and Sam Cooke? SANCHEZ: (Singing) I couldn't have said it. It's all deep-rooted passion of longing and wanting to understand and be understood and all of its faults being seen, but, like, not shied away from but embraced. And I think this record for me is all that. SANCHEZ: I've learned more and more recently that grace is kind of the driving force that allows forgiveness and understanding. SIMON: Sounds like you've learned a lot about love. SANCHEZ: (Singing) It must be more than I need you. And for Evangeline, she doesn't want this life of crime and of fear, but she wants one of love and of gentleness. The Troubadour is tired of all the fame and the glory. And so the two meet - the Troubadour and Evangeline - and their love is next to immediate. And Evangeline is waiting for Hunter to arrive at The Angel Club. To the Troubadour's knowledge, he does not know that Hunter is a mob boss who is dating Evangeline, whom the Troubadour meets at The Angel Club when he first arrives there. Six years into his career - now it's 1964 - he lands a residency at this club called The Angel, which is owned by a club owner named Hunter. And I mean, it's such a wild story of their, just, musical success, which then turns into this singular career, the Troubadour Sanchez, you know, because of his mighty voice that's leading the charge. And they skyrocketed to fame over years, and they're touring. SANCHEZ: So the Troubadour Sanchez, he's this famous crooner whose career launches in 1958 after playing on the "Connie Co Show" with his band The Moon Crests. And tell us this story about this wonderful voice encountering Evangeline and what they see in each other. SIMON: Stephen Sanchez joins us now from New York. SANCHEZ: (Singing) She was kinder to me than most girls would ever be. SIMON: On his debut album, "Angel Face," Stephen Sanchez imagines a vintage world in which a troubadour falls in love with the girlfriend of a mob boss. STEPHEN SANCHEZ: (Singing) There must be something about her. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "SOMETHING ABOUT HER") Stephen Sanchez is a 20-year-old with an old soul.
