Thanks so much for stumbling on this video, it was so much fun to make!!! And that's the beauty of the old school music of any kind, the great memories they bring back!!! Even though I wasn't born when these songs were released, it still gives you such a good warm feeling because you believe what the music says & does!!!

[EASings]

Some of the best voices I've heard from this era and songs! I think you may have outdid yourself this time!!!

[thruthealcove]

Thanks Eron!!! Some of this singers could really sang!!! So glad you enjoyed this one from me!!!

[aajunior]

I finally got a chance to see it. Those are some excellent choices. I do recall seeing Joe Bataan records in my uncle's record collection. Thank you for you being you and the diversity that you bring. Talk to you later.

[thruthealcove]

Ahh, so glad you got to see this cuz I really wanted to know how you liked it!!! Thank you for being you dude & yes, we'll talk later on.

[yuvutero]

I wonder what is the name of the intro song ¡¡ in the firsts seconds ¡¡love it ¡¡ i m musician and im crzy about 70's music ¡¡

go on bro ¡¡¡ peace

wait your answer ¡¡

[thruthealcove]

Thanks so much!!! I left you a comment on your page & I sent you a private message regarding your question about my intro song, please read it!!!

[chicrealness]

i was vibing to some ol skool Carlos Santana "Love Is You" from his freedom album this early morning and thought of you and this video man continue to put us on to whats great and never goes out of style much luv to you kev!

[thruthealcove]

HEYYYYYYYY!!! That's a great album by Santana, and how ironic that you come to my channel & find this video up!!! LOL Glad you enjoyed this dude!!!

[aajunior]

I am so pissed at YT. I haven't been able to watch this video and it never showed up on my list. I always look out for your videos. You are always one to watch. Damn YT.

I remember listening to Chuito and the Latin uniques, Freddy Fender, and the queen of Latin soul La Lupe.

I'll get to watch this video some day. I bet it's amazing as usual. B-good.

[thruthealcove]

Dude, don't worry about it, this will be here until I am no more!!! LOL Besides, you ain't the only one having issues with YT. Just last week, I got a vid from someone I'm subbed to from a MONTH ago as a brand new video!!! I asked him if he had it private & decided to make it public now & he said no I was the late one!!! Oh well, what you gonna do? LOL Dave, leave another comment on this vid when you've actually seen it dude!!!

[tssexychanel]

OMG you gave me the ultimate life most of these I haven't heard since I was in diapers rocking the side of my crib

You are the music master of youtube they don't want the history you bring

[thruthealcove]

Oh mutha stop!!! LMAO But I figured it was time to drop something a bit unexpected from me, so this was it, I had fun making it!!!

[adaku29]

BTW I like Ralfi Pagan's version of "Make It With You" infinitely better than the one by Bread. I didn't know the Ralfi Pagan version existed. Very cool = )

[thruthealcove]

Oh yes, his version is beautiful!!! I just love the song anyway. The Originals, a Motown group, does a nice version of this too, so does The Supremes!!!

[chrstianmom]

these tunes remind me kinda of the low rida oldies back in the day

[thruthealcove]

Well, this is old school Latin Soul music, so yeah it is!!! I was just telling another poster that I think the west coast calls this Lowrider music, while we on the east coast call it Latin Soul/Latin Boogaloo, but it's all the same!!! Glad you enjoyed this!!!

[adaku29]

This was really cool to listen to because I'm not familiar with this genre of music. When I thought of Latin soul, I thought of Malo (Suavecito) and Tierra (Together, though the Intruders did the song initially). That's more of the Lowrider Oldies genre, right?

[thruthealcove]

I'm glad you enjoyed this, this was something different from me, but so much fun to put together!!! I think the west coast calls this Lowrider music, but over here on the east, we always called it Latin Soul/Latin Boogaloo, but it's all the same thing. I think it's safe to consider those 2 acts as Latin Soul artists.

[SistaRanBean]

Saw a doc on PBS few weeks ago on the history of latino music & the record label Fania was one of the highlights. I was very pleased to see you spotlight some of those artists from that label that the doc didnt mention. The doc was enlightening and enjoyable & so was your vid. You are the ISHT, babe;D

[thruthealcove]

So glad you enjoyed this, this was another fun one to make!!! I wanted to see that special, but I kept missing it, so I hope I'll catch it eventually!!!

[thacomplex1]

I liked all the songs you showcased Ralfi Pagan's "just for a little while" was my favorite though.

[thruthealcove]

Yeah dude, that's my song too!!!

[chilyn95]

Hey man love the American Eagle hoodie and I know this is sooo racist but I instantly thought of DeBarge, is that wrong of me? But great video and so musically educating you should be a d.j/producer you know your music, maybe when I work on my next album I can get some musical referances from you.

[thruthealcove]

LOL Telle you such a mess!!! But I'm saving them for one of my Motown vids. But yeah dude, I would mos def help out on some references for you!!! Glad you enjoyed this!!!

[CjKaiTv]

Love that American Eagle hoodie bro!

[thruthealcove]

LOL thanks lil bro!!!

[ShawnQt]

Cool video man!

[thruthealcove]

Thanks Shawn!!!

[Geekgirlelitist]

You've done it again! This music takes me back to my grandmother's back porch with all of us playing and singing the words to these songs!! Once again, good look!!!!

[thruthealcove]

Alright now, you know I love stories like that, so I thank you for sharing!!! Glad you enjoyed the vid too!!!

[Rus2946]

Wow! I'd never heard of any of these artists or songs. This is really good music. Again, thanks for the education!

The baby pics in the intro still kill me! :)

~Kay

[thruthealcove]

LOL you know you love my baby pics!!! But I'm glad I put you on to something new, that's what I'm all about!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[Chicago10281]

Man, can you ever swing it on that Latin Soul!

[thruthealcove]

You sure can dude!!! LOL

[powderpink]

where is my CD?

[thruthealcove]

Ha ha, you can't handle this music sis!!! LOL

[coolasschick]

Another classic my brother, I am curious too see your take on soca's influence on music. keep up the good work

[thruthealcove]

Thanks sis, and I would, but I don't know enough, nor do I have enough material to put one together. Great idea though!!!

[MzTJones80]

Latin Soul is a combo of soul; R&B with Latin rhythm???

You mean, this is not Reggaeton??? LMAO!

You know, you're right...I don't think "Latin" when listening to these. Thanks for schooling me!

On a side note...I was pissed about some jackass on Facebook. (Yeah, I know it's just the internet, but some people can really work your last nerve) Listening to this put a smile on my face and made me forget about the nonsense. Thanks again, bro!

[thruthealcove]

OMG sis, now you know ain't no soul in Reggaeton!!! LOL But I'm glad you enjoyed this, & stay away from those online disputes!!! If you can't beat them up in person, it's a waste of time!!! LOL

[MzTJones80]

Oh, I was just kidding about the Reggaeton. LOL

Yeah, you're right...I simply left that internet dispute alone. Although sometimes I wish I could just email a big red boxer glove that will punch through the monitor and right in somebody's eye. LOL

[XlaviathanX]

Much Love ...Travis
