Who recorded the only Spanish-language song to hit number one on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 during the 1980s?

Los Lobos hit the top of the charts for 3 weeks starting in late August, 1987, with the song "La Bamba," taken from the Ritchie Valens biopic of the same name. Valens's version of the song from 1959 only peaked at number 22, a sign that the times had changed in the 30 years between versions.
