The OTHER great latin singer

"I cannot tell you the number of times I have heard a woman say, "Julio Iglesias can put his shoes under my bed anytime!" Unquestionably, Julio Iglesias has brought Latin music to the American consciousness like no other artist. But having been a fan of Roberto Carlos for nearly twenty years, I cannot begin to tell you the excitement and passionate adoration this wonderful tenor creates and especially among women! It is a great pity that in the United States he has not had the exposure or success of Julio Iglesias.
I was fortunate enough to see Roberto Carlos perform in Atlantic City a decade ago. That concert was tremendous and the crowd enthusiasm was similar to what you actually hear on this disc. I could wish for other great hits (En Serio, La Ventana, etc. etc.) to have been sung during this concert in Miami, but all the songs recorded here are outstanding. At sixty five at the time of this concert, his voice shows little sign of aging.
This is a great CD! You do not even have to know Spanish to appreciate the expressiveness and Latin soul of these songs. To hear him sing, you will quickly understand why any women admirer of his would not only give her body to him but also... her heart and soul."
