"I first heard this recording several years ago shortly after La Lupe demised. At first I thought Yolanda, not knowing anything about her, was trying to capitalize on La Lupe's recent death. I should have known that Ralph Mercado and Sergio George two highly perfessional individuals in the latin music genre would not allow it, since one produced it and the other was the musical director. When I heard this on tape for the first time I was completely overwhelmed with the way Yolanda Duke handle every redention, every piece of music, every song, so delicately and at the same time sensual. A truely respectful homage for La Lupe."
