Pilita Corrales was born in Cebu City, Cebu in 1939, she is a mestiza, (of Spanish and Indigenous Cebuano) ancestry.
Pilita holds the distinction of being the first female artist to top the Australian pop music charts long before Helen Reddy, Olivia Newton-John and Kylie Minogue. Pilita also recorded at least 3 LPs in the late 1950s-early 1960s: Pilita with Arthur Young :Pilita tells The Story of Love, I'll Take Romance and This is Pilita under Astor Records. Being one of the pioneers of Australia's early television years, a street was named after her outside Melbourne. Pilita's notoriety in Australia came from the fact that she was shipwrecked while en route to Australia with a circus troupe in 1958 and had to be rescued by the Australian Navy. She became popular on Melbourne TV and was the first female artist to score a hit on the newly-established Top 40 chart. After returning to the Phillippines in the mid-1960s she became a star of nightclubs and cabaret in S.E. Asia, with over 135 albums to her credit and many appearances in Asia and the USA. Pilita was married in 1963, to the late executive businessman Gonzalo Blanco and separated soon after, while her daughter "Jackielou" was still a child. Gonzalo later died in 1981. Now widely known as "Asia's Queen of Songs", she still enjoys a reputation as a "singing icon and living legend" in the Phillipines, promotes new talent, and in late 2003 completed a series of shows in Manila with her daughter, Jackie Lou Blanco.
