Gloria Estefan ~ Mi Tierra I used to listen to this album all the time. I like Gloria's latin music albums better than her pop stuff although I like it too. 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 | |

Always loved Gloria. She never gets the credit she deserves (she was big way before the late '90s Latin eexplosion, and she discovered Shakira and Jon Secada). "Get up off that grey line" | |

I would say Jose' Feliciano had some success in the US before Gloria. Feliz Navidad still gets lots of airplay every year at Christmastime. Then there was Astrud Gilberto who sort of started the 1960's Bossa Nova craze in the USA with The Girl From Ipanema in 1964. Santana, Sergio Mendes & Brasil 77, and Vikki Carr had some popularity in the 1970's. But neither they nor Gloria get much recognition today. 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 | |

This is another song from the same album. 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 | |
