  1. Ranked No. 4 in Salsa

    Written by Blades for Lavoe: the singer everyone comes to hear, whom nobody asks how he is. Given what happened to Lavoe afterwards, it is hard to hear now.

  2. Picked by Dancing to Bad News

    Rubén Blades wrote it for Lavoe: the singer everybody comes to hear and nobody asks how he is. Full Fania horns, a floor-filler at every party since, and a man describing his own disappearance in the middle of it.
