JD#10 Growing up Marvin Gay, Smokey Robinson, Marry Wells & a few more was all i listen too. So when I found out that there was a Chicano artist making music I was blown, I was excited and brought a smile to my face. Not only because he was Chicano, but because he wasn’t part of the main stream circuit were everyone knew about him. This just made me realize that in those days it was hard to make it as a Chicano artist, as well as it is till this day. To top it off & make things even better he sang songs in Spanish and did not try to be that main stream artist that everyone else was. So I figured, when you make authentic music for authentic reasons your work then becomes classic. The more and more I looked into him, the more his songs amazed me & blew my mind. So I pass this on to you guys, & hope you can learn a bit from his music.

JD#9 I sometimes wish I lived in the old days. The music sounded so nice & smooth. The way people dressed was different, their life to me seemed relaxed. The song that I want to introduce to you is rare, it’s been lost for a while, not heard of, but I want to bring it out & share it with you. The song is called “Begging You” and just by listening to it you can hear the emotion through his voice. I often sit here & wonder what the equipment looked like in those days. In our day in time anyone can make music, but imagine how hard it was back then. I have plenty more songs to share with you, so as long as you keep coming back, I’ll always have more posted.

Am glad to be back from Vegas and finally get a chance to kick back and relax to some oldies but not your art laboe kind of oldies. When people think of oldies they think of the classic songs like Al Green or Mary Wells but many don’t know there was plenty of Chicano artist’s back in the days as well. Today I want to share an artist that goes by the name of Ralfi Pagan. You can purchase his cd at our online store which is titled Ralfi Pagan The Legend. He has plenty of songs besides this one that you might want to check out. I picked this song because you can hear by his voice why he was hitting it very big.  Ralfi Pagan was murdered at a very young aged right about the time he was becoming famous. I really don’t no the details but all no that his jams are some thing else. I will be sharing a lot of more of his songs but today;s song is called No Soy De Ti.
