Manuel Esperón González (born August 3, 1911) was a song writer and composer of Latin music. He wrote many songs for Mexican films, including Cocula and Ay Jalisco No Te Rajes for De tal palo tal astilla (1960), and Amor con Amor Se Paga for Hay un niño en su futuro (1952). Other of his songs have become Latin standards such as Yo Soy Mexicano, Noche Plateada and No Volveré which was used in the first episode of the 2001 soap opera El juego de la vida. Among other performers, Chavela Vargas, Pedro Infante, Los Panchos, and Jorge Negrete have made his songs well-known. His fame in the USA derives from when his song The Three Caballeros was used in the Disney film The Three Caballeros (1944).
Esperón was born in Mexico City. Esperón retired in 1987, although his songs continued to be used in Mexican films and television.
