Olé is a Latin American album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released by Mercury Records in November 1964 and includes Spanish-language versions of English-language chart hits by Frank Sinatra ("Granada") and Sarah Vaughan ("Serenata") as well as the signature song of the I Love Lucy character Ricky Ricardo that was played by Desi Arnaz ("Babalu").
This album was Mathis's first non-holiday release since his 1956 debut that didn't make an appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart.
Olé was released for the first time on compact disc on November 16, 2012, as one of two albums on one CD, the other album being the previous Mathis LP, This Is Love. Both were also included in Sony's Mathis box set The Complete Global Albums Collection, which was released on November 17, 2014.
