Wow,I just gotta say, as a young girl growing up in the 60s down south, it never would have ever occured to me that way across the map there were Latino people grooving to OUR Duke ,Bro. Gene Chandler, I am beginning to see our music was just as much a part of others as ourselves .hmm.. interesting
