Al parecer el primer éxito en la voz de Jimmy Sabater en la Radio de Nueva York, mucho antes que Bang Bang.

To Be With You

Un Boogaloo Blue

Hearing this seductive melody by Cheo Feliciano makes me wanna hear him & Inez Fajardo couple up for NO GOOD LOVE LASTS by Wm Chas Cooke! Yeeeah, so I can listen to it along with two other cuts of his that I've been listening to for over forty yrs! BANG BANG! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand ANACAONA! Get it, Cheo!

RECUERDEN QUE JIMMY SABATER ERA EL TIMBALERO DE JOE CUBA CUANDO CHEO DEJA EL SEXTETO POR PROBLEMAS DE CONSUMO JOE LE DA LA OPORTUNIDAD A JIMMY SABATER DE TOCAR EL TIMBAL Y CANTAR ALGUNA GENTE NO PERCIBIO EL CAMBIO PUES SUS VOCES ERAN MUY SIMILARES YO DIRIA QUE LA VOZ DE JIMMY ERA MAS SENSUAL SOBRE TODO CUANDO CANTABA EN INGLES PERO QUIEN NO RECUERDA AQUEL BOLERAZO GRABADO POR JOE CUBA Y VOCALIZANDO JIMMY SABATER DE NOMBRE TE SEGUIRE. UNA VERDADERA JOYA EL PARECIDO CON CHEO EN EL ES ENORME

[magcarril]

Such wonderful times dancing "un bolero" on a floor tile..Close, loving, in heaven, idyllic ideal.  Peace via music.

[kukrima]

QUIEN CANTA AQUI ES EL MAESTRO JIMMY SABATER QUE DOMINABA EL INGLES Y QUE TENIA UNA VOZ TAN BELLA COMO LA DE CHEO FELICIANO DE HECHO MUCHA GENTE PENSABA QUE QUIEN CANTABA ERA CHEITO POR LOS PARECIDOS DE SUS VOCES

[magcarril]

@kukrima Gracias por la informacion.

[TincanSailor831]

Back on the East Side of Manhattan on Ave D. This song was always on someones radio, reminds me of when I met my wife at the Chez Jose up on 77th St.. they always played this and closed with Frank Sinatra The Summer Wind.. those were the day. Rest In Peace Anna this is for you

[motley7885]

Growing up in the Bronx in the 50's and 60's, I remember hearing this song on the radio so many times. The velvet voice of Jimmy Sabater on lead vocal. Many years later, I had the privilege of meeting him and performing with him several times, even doing backup vocals on this song. Jimmy Sabater - truly one of the best.

[sunshine2g]

this song is such a classic. it was the song in new york city radio airways during this era of the late 60's...if you want proof, look at the movie "A Bronx tale" and this song is playing in the background during the scene when the main mafia guy talks to little kid in the alley while the club door in open with music playing.

[srcourtofficer]

MAN IS THAT GOOD . GREAT LYRICS. I THINK JIMMY SABATEAR WAS SINGING LEAD I SHOULD SAY GOLDEN VOICE.

[billyvee]

One of the greatest of all hipster love ballads. Brings me back to Symphony Sid: "A little Latin, a little Jazz."

[thelilblackduck]

now that's how you beg! beautiful god bless brother Cuba and brother Sabater; a true NYC love song...

[gilbertocintron]

I like this version so much better than the 1970's disco version.

[oyebien]

You have great music man. I'm only 29 but love all the oldies.As a conga and bongo player I like to study the roots of Latin music. keep it up.

[thesuggah]

Thank you soooooo much for this. I think I must be the 9000 of the views, I have played it so many times. Love it. Agree with post below. Thank you for hipping me to Joe Cuba, but especially this oldie.

[benu33]

OMG, Reminds me of my parents. Want to cry. Looking for this song forever. Tks

[JOHNPAPO1]

So many "grind'em ups" to this. Madison Ave and 115th.

[MSMAGICMAMI]

[baironfarias]

[60andcounting]

I detect a slight difference in this version and the one I had on vinyl back in the sixties. I don't know if it's older or newer, but I still love it. Thanks for posting it.

[theperfectboss]

This reminds me of when I was a teenager in East Harlem. I loved ballads by the R&B groups and I had them on 45. This one I had on the album.

[rakeuiff]

[salsera59]

@celso521 I hear you about this type of oldie being played at those great hooky sets. I wish i could go back to one special night,in the arms of my first boyfriend,Michael Delgado.
