with Quincy Jones & Gloria Estefan 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'm embarrassed to admit this, but I became aware of her artistry mostly because of her cameo role in Wycelf Jean's 1997 video for "Guantanamera". Thanks to YouTube I can see clips of her when she was in her prime years. | |

I always thought she could be Patti LaBelle's Latina sister! It's a shame her life was cut short just as she was really starting to gain popularity in the U.S. Just think of all the new dance music and ballads she could have done.
R.I.P. Celia.

That Concert special aired on Telemundo. At Pedro Knight's request Patti sang "Ave Maria" at the Funeral. Patt sang it acapella and she mentioned in one of her books that she was terrifed to sing it. Ms. Celia Cruz will FOREVER be The Queen of Salsa! Azucar! | |
