DANG...I never heard this song but WOW!!!! This is HOT!!!! From back in the day too? I thought I heard all of the songs that came out then. But this one slipped by me.
ouffff!So deep,so beautiful...Joe Bataan is one of the greatest soul artists of the sixties and seventies, y el mas chulo del barrio si?A greet from Spain, cuídense!
Wow!!! he is a fantastic singer. I remember this type of music when I was little and my bigh brother and sis were teenagers. I couldn't wait to be able to do what they could do. That time never came. Ahh the memories.
yes Joe is a hell of a singer, but his songs always related to life on the streets the way it was......and to a certain extent how it is still is in urban america. I grew up on 113th St in NYC and left in 1970 when I was in the marines. Even in Vietnam we still listene to "Symphony Sid" a local NYC DJ on shortwave radios, for us Puerto Ricans it was a piece of home!
I can remember back in Junior High school, now it's called middle school in 1966. We use to play Joe Bataan records everyday. Many of us thought he was Puerto Rican. He sang and spoke spanish so very well, and one of my friends told us all he is an Afro-filipino. Of course we were blown away, we all started talking about it and came to realized- if someone took the time and effort to learn our language and our culture he was worth listening to. And we became very big fans ever since.
Actually, you're right. I got a hold of a copy of "Gypsy Woman" a couple of months ago, and it had the original version, only I had never heard it before. I forgot to edit the page. Thanks.
I must provide for you the following lyrical correction
2nd Verse:
"Exclusive night clubs
Are OUT OF STYLE WITH ME
'Cause, I don't associate, with high society..."
And it was apparently obvious that this piece meant a lot to Joe since he renditioned it THREE TIMES in three completely different incarnations from 1967 to 1975.
Indeed, Joe Bataan is the embodiment of the city, the Heartbeat of the Barrio, the King of Latin Soul.
OMG!I love this song!I was 5 years old when this came out.I played his songs on my drums as a teenager.This album is a classic.also notice this is Fania records at the begining.
The great thing about Bataan is that he sang salsa style with a mix of doowop as he personalized his own latin blues of the era and still transmits that soul into ones bones. Thanks for sharing his music. Loved it.
Classic Soul and R&B is a very special study. There are many obscure, long forgotten artists, who never got their due. It all goes so much deeper than Motown. Two of my favorite artists are Bobby Womack and Johnnie Taylor.
