I was too shy and never approached him but am so happy that I got to dance my heart out as Willie and Hector played live.

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY spent most of my time in Harlem. I grew up on Mr. Hector. I listen to his music til this day. I watched the story of his life over a dozen times. There are alot of Singers and performers. In my book no one has taken the kings place. His sound was one of a kind. He will live forever!!!!

Hector Juan Perez Martinez, dotado de una voz, versatilidad y sentimiento extraordinarios, lidero desde fines de los 60s hasta los 80s, el establecimiento del genero Salsa como el mas popular del mundo. Su temprana partida no permitio que siguiera mostrandonos su voz y talento, sin embargo es y siempre sera El Cantante de los Cantantes.

Estaba viendo la película "El Cantante", interpretada por mis cantantes favoritos Marc Anthony, y JLo, y me gustó mucho la historia de este personaje, y la euforia que se siente por dentro al ver los espectáculos de música salsa. Saludos a todos. Héctor Lavoe, Willie Colón y Celia Cruz siempre serán algunas de mis influencias musicales.
