• Guzman, Paquito-Escucha Mi Cancion- LP- stereo-Inca/Fania XSLP 1041 - 1975 33 1/3 RPM LP release LP by Salsa Romantica vocalist, Paquito Guzman. Quote from All Music Guide: "Paquito Guzmán, in this recording, indulges himself in that oddity of the tropical world-ballads-way before any salsa singer. Thanks to Héctor Garrido's lush arrangements, Paquito Guzmán excels in this classy production. Among the guilty pleasures are "Peligro" (by Roberto Angleró), "Arranque de Ira" (by C. Curet Alonso), "Pasional," and "Ahora" (by Teddy Trinidad). A few chestnuts from Brazilian extraction (Denis Brean's "Raíces" & Lupicinio Rodrigues' "Ejemplo") are quite enjoyable. A noted change of pace, it is still requested in Guzmán's tours and public performances."
