 Willie Colon
Colon informed Fania boss, Jerry Masucci, of his ambition to record with Ruben, but a few years had to elapse before they were both free to work together.

 Willie Colon/Ruben Blades
Willie Colón is one of the giants of modern salsa, a popular trombonist and bandleader since the late 1960s.
Recorded when Willie was just seventeen, but it displays canny business sense as well as talent: Colón included two English-language tunes in the then-hot boogaloo style (the embarrassingly unforgettable "Skinny Papa"), and a terrific, organ-heavy example of the even shorter-lived shingaling craze ("Willie Whopper," which sounds like an urban answer to "Incense And Peppermints").
Willie's first gold album, with the hits "Che Che Colé" and "Te Conozco." Almost all the tunes are by Colón and/or his lead singer Hector Lavoe, and they're all good - the slow numbers ("Ausencia") are as gripping as the faster salsa ("Juana Peña").

 Willie Colon/Ruben Blades   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Hector Lavoe is the vocalist on many of Willie's early records (Willie also produced Lavoe's first solo albums); after a while Colón got tired of dealing with ego crises and starting singing lead himself.

The cover shot (Willie holding a gun to a hostage's head; the title means "I'll kill him if you don't buy this record.") generated a lot of publicity, but the music is far more enduring: the hit "Calle Luna, Calle Sol" is as sharply-rendered and gripping as anything he's ever recorded.
