A blast from the past

"This one will take you back in time...way back. The unique sound of this Chilean group, so popular in the '70's, with hits that were melodic and noted for Germaine De La Fuente's high, tremulous voice, and the very simple "pop" sounding arrangements, which included a lot of electric organ.On this CD compilation they do a bouncy arrangement of Jose Alfredo Jiménez' "Despacito", "Murio la Flor" was written by Germaine and showcases the strength of his voice, as does Orlando Salinas' "Como Quisiera Decirte", but my favorite is the muy romantico standard "Tres Palabras" which has a tune that keeps me humming it hours after hearing it.Like most of these compilations of older songs, the package has a one page insert with only a song/composer list, nothing more...but dig those hip sideburns on that cover photo !"
