I am enjoying the CD. Do you have any Prez Prado cd's with words as well as music?

 Great music from the 1950s

| When I was a child, I heard a couple of songs from this album on the radio, and I liked them. I ordered this album mainly because I liked the song "Patricia." But "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" is also fun. I suspect some of the other songs will grow on me too. |

The inimitable, essential Perez Prado

| I have intended to buy Perez Prado's Greatest Hits for years, and have procrastinated for one reason or another. I dearly regret that procrastination, since I could have been enjoying this fantastic music all that time. Perez Prado's music is as immediately relevant and enjoyable today as it was in the epoch in which he made it. Superior musicianship and arranging render these pieces flawlessly beautiful and moving. Hearing it immediately places one in a frenzied state of movement and dance and brings listeners together in a state of shared ecstasy. It is as accessible to a gringo audience as it is to a group of Latinos. This is a truly international music which celebrates life and musical perfection. It is an indispensible addition to any music-lover's collection. Dr. Richard J. Beck. |

Can't Get Enough

Excellent selection of the greatest hits of Perez Prado and his orchestra. If you love the Latin big band sounds, you will love this.
The music comes out well on the CD. The cover work is great. I loved everything about it.
If I had to compare the sound of his band to someone else, the closest I could say would be if Ricky Ricardo were met up with Brian Setzer. |
