Marc Anthony nailed this cover of Hector's album!!!! I actually like it even better than Hector's. Marc's vocals are out of this world!
This Album is a must have for salsa fans and people who liked "El Cantante" (the movie).

A New Classic: A necessity for any salsa music recording collector.

By Phil0Sophia
I grew up listening to Hector LaVoe and was admittedly skeptical about this album, but after hearing it, I can't sing enough praises for this recording. The arrangements stayed true to the originals while bringing in something new and fresh to these classic songs. Marc Anthony's vocal interpretations of the pieces are bar none (and dare I say, surpassed the originator?). In the realm of salsa, if Marc Anthony's vocal chords were a violin, he would be a Stradivarius.
This is one of my favorite Salsa albums of all time. I would recommend this recording to any salsa novice, and have often have purchased copies as gifts, returned with very positive feedback.
Horrible

I have lost my respect for Marc Anthony. A horrible job imitating a legend. I've always said that you could never imitate a legend. Look listen to the originals and you will be fine don't listen to this quack.
Love it

This is an awesome album, but I'm giving it 4 stars because I HATE jennifer lopez. She has no place on this or any other album.
Imitar versus Interpretar
5
By Frankie92espac
Ok. Considering that most of the people here are "boricuas" and can understand spanish well, here it goes.
Aquí están criticando a Marc Anthony pq jamás se compara con Hector Lavoe; y tienen razón. Como Lavoe, ninguno. Aquí la diferencia es que el no esta imitando a Hector Lavoe, el esta interpretando un papel basado en la vida de Hector Lavoe atraves de su música. Marc interpretó a Lavoe en la película al igual que lo interpretó cantando sus canciones.
El mejor ejemplo es cuando Jennifer Lopez hizo la película de Selena ella interpretó el papel de Selena pero la imitó en su música pq ella doblaba la voz de Selena en la película. Aun así todos sabemos que ella jamás hubiese llenado los zapatos de Selena pero cuando se trata de interpretación se la comió. O sea, Marc no esta tratando de imitar el estilo de Lavoe, ya el tiene el suyo por el cual tiene la fama que tiene, el simplemente esta interpretando su música. No esta llenando sus zapatos!
Great album

It appears 2 me that some individuals just aren't Marc Anthony fans bases on the critism that I've read. I consider myself a fair critic no matter if I like the artist or not. As we all can agree, there's only 1 Hector Lavoe. Mr. Anthony does a great job in interpreting Mr. Lavoe's music thru an updated style whiile maintaining the classic sound. His vocals are just as good as Mr. Lavoe's but in his own, strong style. All of the percussions are on point as they were w/ the original artist. The only negative thing that I can say is that the album should've been much larger in order 2 include much of Mr. Lavoe's other & genuine music that we Latinos have grown 2 love & admire.

SOME SONGS CAN ONLY BE SUNG BY THOSE WHO POPULARIZED THEM

By Chico Cocolo
After hearing HECTOR "LAVOE" PEREZ sing these songs for many years, it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to hear others sing them. Marc Anthony is a good singer but I don't think he does a good job singing HECTOR LAVOE'S Hit songs. There is something LACKING here and if you've EVER heard the ORIGINAL and you are really into SALSA/MAMBO music you'll know what it is. Marc Anthony sounds lifeless singing these songs.
I don't even know why anyone would get this when you could just GET THE ORIGINALS by HECTOR LAVOE. HELLO! WAKE UP! AGUZATE! It doesn't make sense to get these when ITUNES! has ALL the ORIGINALS. Marc is good singing his SALSA ROMANTICA and in ENGLISH, but NOT with this material.
No good!

This is the worse imitation of Lavoe's recordings. Boring. You can never compare Anthony with such excellent salsero and sonero like Hector.
A Great Album

When you think of Hector Lavoe, what comes to mind? It is fair to say a Latin-American Salsa Legend! He left a legacy behind that will never be forgotten. Though he had a drug using issue, which took him to the grave, his music showed his best attributes. As far as Marc Anthony, he exemplified the qualities in Lavoe that everyone enjoyed which was talent to sing! If you haven't watched the movie, buy it. You won't waste your money. I say thumbs up, El Cantante! (La musica mejor, de Hectór Lavoe!)
Use ACOUSTIC instruments, please!

I would have given this album five stars were it not for the flagrant and tacky use of canned strings. PLEASE, if you're going to arrange the instrumentation to include a string orchestra, then don't cheap-out and use a cheesy synthesizer to cover the string line. Do justice to Mr. Lavoe and his music(and throw some hungry orchestra musicians a little work) by recording with a full complement of strings. The singing/arrangements are great, but the use of the synthesizer cheapens the quality of the work(especially in the title track---yuck)!!!!
Great
