EDDIE PEREGRINA: THE ORIGINAL "JUKEBOX KING"

The Jukebox King (1969)- Stars Eddie Peregrina, Vilma Santos, Edgar Mortiz, Esperanza Fabon, Bebong Osorio/ Directed by Consuelo Osorio

Eddie Peregrina, hailed as the original jukebox king, was only 32 when he died on April 30, 1977 at Polymedic Hospital. The popular singer sustained fatal concussions in his internal organs due to a car accident. He was on his way home from a two-day taping at ABS-CBN, when the car he was driving bumped into a doctor’s car along an underpass in Shaw Boulevard. "Daig pa raw sa sipa ng kabayo ang tumama sa sikmura n’ya," said Lyn [Lyn Salazar-singer/actress].

Eddie died exactly a month and a week later after the accident. "Lumalaban s’ya pero hindi na kaya ng katawan," she said. "He had a major operation almost every week. Our friends said that had he lived, Eddie would have been reduced to a vegetable. He couldn’t even talk because his trachea was perforated. So, even singing would be out of the picture."

Peregrina’s ending was truly ironic for an idol, who practically sang his way to success, winning in amateur singing contests like the DZXL’s "Tita Betty’s Children Show" since he was six.

The next 26 years of his life saw Eddie conquered other national singing contests like the "Tawag ng Tanghalan," worked as a singer in Japan for five years with The Blinkers band, and became the first Jukebox King of his homeland.

During the early 60’s, a singer’s popularity was practically determined by the jukebox, a coin-operated machine that can play specially selected songs from self-contained media. It was a period when fans dropped 20 centavos in a jukebox to listen to Timi Yuro’s "Crazy" or Matt Monro’s "Walk Away" and "Before You Go." Of course, Eddie’s songs like "Together Again," "Two Lovely Flowers," "Mardy" and "I Do Love You" were such national anthems and outdid their foreign counterparts not only in the jukebox market but also on the airwaves, in restaurants and well….. the local cabarets.

Eddie was already famous before Nora Aunor became a superstar. In fact, there was this show on Channel 9 that billed him ahead of Nora, "The Eddie-Nora Show (1970)."

He also did a number of films, like "Mardy" with Vilma Santos, "Memories of our Dreams" with showbiz loveteam Esperanza Fabon and wife, Lyn, "Batul of Mactan" (1974), "Your Love" (1970) and "Dito sa Aking Puso" with Nora (Aunor).

During his prime, Eddie, aside from his television show was doing one record album after another. Among his many popular songs were: "What Am I Living For?," "Don’t Ever Leave Me," "Puppy Love," "The Voice of Love," "Return to Me," "In My Little Room," "The Wonder of You," Mga Bakas ng Lumipas," You Mean Everything to Me" and "Lonely Boy."
