His hits include Spanish covers of "Put Your Head On My Shoulder", "Rolly Polly", "Bonnie Moronie" as well as the original "Dame Felicidad" ("Give Me Joy"). During the mid 1960s Guzmán formed a motion picture company and produced some films in Ecuador.^{[citation needed]} In the late 1960s, Guzman and his wife, Silvia Pinal, starred in a television show called Silvia & Enrique. He has continued recording, including with his daughter Alejandra Guzmán, throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
