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

Miami Sound Machine & Gloria Estefan made classic-level quality contributions to music in the 80's (and probably the 90's but I did not follow them closely in that decade).

The music enthusiasts have had good fortune to have received the music productions from

Miami Sound Machine & Gloria in her solo career.

I think the "Eyes of Innocence" (1983) and "Primitive Love"(1985) LPs are underrated, perhaps because most of the songs were sexier and not as simple as the songs that found radio success.

i luv Gloria Estafan. remember on March 20, 1990, near Scranton, Pennsylvania, Estefan was critically injured, suffering a fractured spine when a speeding semi-truck crashed into the tour bus she was in during a snowstormwhen she had the terrible car accident? with mind over matter she made a great recovery. She is a great vocalist and beautiful woman.

My favorite song: 'Anything for You'

Happy Birthday Mrs. Gloria María Milagrosa Fajardo García-de Estefan

Happy Birthday Gloria...

When I have aches and pains...I remember your back and hope that you are feeling well....

"Coming out of the dark," is a beautiful song...My favorite picture of you is with your tatoo'ed written on hands and face laying in the sand. My heart loves you and the whole Miami Sound Machine Gang, which being around you all, were some of the happiest moments in my life. And eternal thank U, for being a beautiful U.

It's an uphill climb to the finish line.
