The late, great salsa singer Hector Lavoe is the subject of a new Hollywood film, called El Cantante. Any excuse to listen to his music is a good one, so in that spirit, here are some clips, courtesy of his fans on YouTube, of Lavoe from his heyday with trombonist and bandleader Willie Colon back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and from his later solo career.
What a great resource for those of us who weren't able to see him at the time, but can still enjoy his performances now.
What a gift you have shared with the world. He was the greatest! Thanks for sharing the gift of his music, but most importantly, his performance. I was lucky to have seen him live and today, you took me back. Thanks!
