Buy This Album!.......2003-09-14

Marveous album. Incredible duos with Lavoe and Celia Cruz and, of course, his daring -- and swinging -- song about AIDs "El Gran Varon". Only Willie could have done it. Buy this album!

INCREIBLE.......2001-02-20

Este es uno de los mejores CDs de salsa de todos los tiempos, con las mejores canciones del Duo Dinamico de la Salsa, Willie Colon y HEctor LAvoe. No hay fiesta que no quede bien con este CD. Todos los clasicos estan aqui. HAY que tenerlo.

THE BEST II.......2001-01-30

While I'm not crazy about Sony's recompiling old recordingS, this CD contains some really good songs that were missed the first time around. "Idilio" alone makes this CD worth buying. It is a retro sounding tune with excellent lyrics and enough horn work for me to stay interested in this song. "Hay Quien Se Va" is another one of my favorites. It's a hybrid of the NY Salsa sounds with a strong dose of Cumbia. The words and melody are penned by Janet Becerra. They bring a heroically philosofical perspective to the meaing of life and when the time comes to leave this world. Whenever I'm down this song will get me back into the goove. "Aerolinea Desamor" (Heart Break Airlines) is another great experiment with solo work by the great Bobby Franceschini on the Tenor and solos throuhout the begining by funk bassist Gene Perez. "Si Te Contara" and "Hasta Que Te Conocí" are two of my best recorded torch song bolero-chas. To me this CD is an excellent example of the contemporary sound as oppossed to the vintage Fania compilations. The musicianship and sound quality is far superior to early records. Please check this one out.

The Best????..........2000-12-29

Well,this collection of Willie Colon's songs doesnt entirely prove Willie Colon's awesome influence of Salsa in the 1970s;where Willie Colon was at his best with great album releases such as"Asalto Navideno","El Jucio","Lo Mato",and much more.These songs featured in this album are way too revised and sorta dilutes Salsa into Latin Pop,especially with"El Gran Varon."Its origional version is much better.If you're really looking for"The Best"of Willie Colon,you should refer to his album title releases in the 1970s.Those are the true Salsa and Latin Jazz records to hear from Willie Colon.

This CD captures some of the classics from Willie.......1998-09-18

I remember listening to Willie and his band in the 70's. This Cd has some great tunes that really capture the esscence of the Willie Colon-sound and type of salsa. The best tune: Idilio (from the "Hecho in PR" album. My second: Aerolinea Desamor.

Excelente disco, variado y agradable de escuchar.......1998-04-29

Es un disco que escucho con mucha frecuencia, tiene una buena selección de canciones y la interpretación de Idilio es excelente

Truly a compilation of the best!.......2005-01-20

This compilation is the ultimate collection of a legendary salsa artist and one of the original Fania All Stars. For those who are all time fans of New York Salsa and followed the careers of some greats like Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe and the late Celia Cruz will definitely recordar with this fine nostalgic collection of salsa hits. Not too much to say other than it is superb and for sure you will find the majority of your original favorites on this album. The really big hits of all time are: El Gran Varon, Pirana, Calle Luna, Calle Sol and La Murga. A must have if you like classic "old school" salsa.
