Juan Antonio Espinoza Prieto (26 May 1926 – 14 July 2011)[1] was a Chilean actor.

Also a popular singer, he scored an international 1961 hit with "La novia", later known as "The Wedding" in Great Britain and the US. In 1995 a 20 Greatest Hits CD was released, which included such hits as "La novia" and "El milagro". He also made a very popular Spanish version of a song from the Italian singer Domenico Modugno.

Prieto also sang a popular ballad, "Juan Bobo", in homage to the popular Juan Bobo of Puerto Rican folklore.[2][unreliable source?]
