i had the honor of playing trumpet on this album(RODNEY BROWN), I was only 20 yrs old, but I wasn't the youngest. All the guys were from the streets. What a blast...

This version is MURDER!!!! It's a shame I only have the 45, though. And, of course, Fania never told people what albums the songs came from on their 45s (most of them, anyway). I think this one was actually on Fania's subsidiary label, International, and on the short version, they cut to the Spanglish verse (and there was no whispering at the end)! GENIUS JOE BATAAN!!! Fania owes 'NUFF gratitude and respect to Joe Bataan -- No diggity, no doubt, no question! > Professor DLC
