Synopsis

Album Description
Willie Colón's musical legacy as a "hit" maker of Afro-Caribbean music is celebrated in this definitive collection of some of his biggest hits that spanned a career including 40 musical productions, 11 Grammy nominations, and more than 30 million records sold. This album contains sixteen cuts that the bandleader/trombonist and composer recorded for the Fania label. On Greatest Hits you will find memorable "Salsa" classics, such as "Che Che Colé," "Calle Luna Calle Sol," "El Dia De Suerte," "La Murga," "Ah-Ah/O-No" and "Aguanilé." These are songs that he recorded for solo albums and records he produced for the Puerto Rican great Héctor Lavoe. The album also includes hits from his famous collaborations with Rubén Blades ("Pablo Pueblo" and "Ojos")as well as songs from his later albums ("Oh Que Sera," "Tiempo Pa' Matar" and "El Gran Varón.") Greatest Hits is a fine introduction to Colon's catalog.
