All I have is a greatest hits CD. I like it, but I don't know much about the rest of her catalog.

Not my favorite salsa artist. And as in the case of most of Latin artist her discography must be a mess. (It is impossible to collect the album of such important artists like El Gran Combo or Daniel Santos).
But her early records with La Sonora Matancera (in the 1950s) should be among her best. I´m pretty sure also that she did remarkable records with Fania label and maybe with the salsa supergroup Fania All Stars.

The first time I heard of her was when she was on Seseame Street singing with Big Bird. The song was "Zoom Zoom Zoom."

Don't have any of her albums but the live performances i've seen via video/TV have been very good.
