Comments

Inside The Groove

How could I tell such kind of music? Anyway, the singer Lourdes sings popular songs in Spanish, as the album title says :(

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Lourdes was born in the Dominican Republic and came to the U.S., then married Clyde Otis. That's why she could left this record on Mercury? :)

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

4 out of 10
