	Hector Lavoe
		Hector Lavoe left a lot of good music, and we should listen to it.
		Hector was melodically, more on a monotone scale, but his poetry, the words he was saying and the words he was writing, was very down to the kids in the street.
		What I do remember about Hector is that a lot of his inspirations were things like, "After I'm dead, remember that I told you this" Or "After I'm gone, let me leave this message for you." A lot of his inspirations he would say things like that.

	Profile: The Tragedy of Héctor Lavoe
		Hector Lavoe was determined that his life would not “have a tragic ending,” according to a 1976 interview he gave to Max Salazar of Latin New York magazine.
		Lavoe’s too short life — he died in July at age 46 — was indisputedly a tragedy, and one that met the classical criterion of a gifted, even heroic figure who is undone by his own fatal flaws.
		Fania, in a gesture of generosity and compassion, decides to donate all proceeds from Lavoe to Hector Lavoe’s family and to the Hispanic AIDS Forum.

	Tributo a Hector Lavoe
		Hector Lavoe (1946-1993) was not only one of the most supremely talented, charismatic and genuine performers in Latin music, but also one of its most beloved and controversial celebrities.

		There were the days in Hector Lavoe’s career where he would wow his audience to deafening delirium, with superb vocal strength and total control of the stage.

	Héctor Lavoe : La Voz - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		In the first track, "En Todopoderoso," within his first verse Héctor Lavoe sets himself far apart from all contemporaries by virtue of his angelic timbre, only to later outdo himself as he effortlessly soars over the coro.
		La Voz being Lavoe's first of nine solo records for the Fania label, he turned to labelmate and longtime collaborator Willie Colón to produce and arrange.
		From the graceful, sophisticated horn intro on "En Todopoderoso" to the blazing mambo section in "Paraiso de Dulzura," Colón's mark as arranger is indelible.

	Hector Lavoe - AmericaSalsa.com
		Como atributo, gozó de una dicción clara, que se añadía a su virtuosismo en la improvisación y que le permitía moldear las líricas de sus canciones con una creatividad indiscutible, triturando los versos hasta convertirlos en nuevos textos musicales.

	Anthony Avoids Woes That Befell Lavoe, Singer-Actor Marc Anthony Says He Avoids Drug Troubles That Befell Salsa Star ...
		Anthony, who kicked off a concert tour in San Juan this weekend, said he felt a personal connection to Hector Lavoe, who was credited with bringing salsa to the United States and died in 1993 at age 46 following a struggle with drug addiction.
		The film traces Lavoe's rise from the Caribbean island to stardom in New York, where the sold-out concerts and best-selling albums of the 1970s give way to drug addiction and a strained marriage in the 1980s.
		Lopez, who co-produced the film, took on the project nearly five years ago when Lavoe's widow approached her with a script and asked the pop star to consider playing her role.
