I like their singles okay, but was never tempted to buy a studio album (just a singles compilation). My favourite of theirs is ,'Can't Stay Away From You':

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I know gloria, so always call me Lil'Eddie Murphy or used to ask always ask me along with her corny husband "Where is your brother K-Ci" from Jodeci & K-Ci & Jojo group. But my mom them grew up with them as her neighbors. My mom and my auntie KK used to hangout with around 1976 and they all went to University of Miami. Emilio from my personal experience was always nice and joking around. I haven't seen both since like 1999. Pray they are doing well, not a fan of hers because she's like long distance family. IF you stay in Miami we rarely get star struck by our home based celebs or celebrities period.

Prince during his time down in Miami was able to be a regular human, so was Sylvester Stallone, Will and Jada, Martin have a loft here, Eddie Murphy have a high-rise where his daughter was staying while dating pleasure p, John Travolta have a beach house and his main house near Tampa. It's more celebs in Miami than you all think. Wish we had a large Studio like Paramount here and Tyler Perry Studious. Miami isn't as bad as some think. I love Aventura area and used to have a high-rise apartment right across from Aventura Mall.

Finally the inspirational comeback from that terrible tour bus accident that broke her back and nearly killed her Gloria Estefan - Coming Out Of The Dark (The AMA's 1991) performance, what a legend worship

One of my guilty pleasures!

As a child, my family and I lived in Miami (Cutler Bay). Her sound meant as much to the Miami music scene as Prince's meant to Minneapolis. Miami radio was dominated by her music as well as the music of Madonna, Prince, Billy Ocean, Michael Jackson, etc in the time I lived there (1983-1989). The success of Gloria Estefan and the MSM always struck me as heavily regional because when we moved to Atlanta, there music was NEVER on the radio. No top 40 stations, no dance, nothing. Don't know if anyone else can vouch for that observation, but its what I experienced.

Favorite song is "Rythym is gonna get you" and I liked some her solo work to. She had a protege (Jon Secada) that blew up for a minute, then kind of vanished. Anyone know what happened to him?

Here is what he has been up to http://jonsecada.com/bio/ I also remember that song that Gloria sang background vocals on, called Just Another Day (1992), what a great song.
