No tracks found into library
Ray left Juilliard in 1963, after just one year. He made this choice so that he could get organized and dedicate himself to his own band. This was a year after Cruz joined in as the lead vocalist. In 1964, he signed with Fonseca Records and released his debut album, Ricardo Ray Arrives-Comejen. The album included the outstanding hit songs "Mambo Jazz", "Comejen", "Viva Richie Ray", "El Mulato", "Suavito", "Pa' Chismoso Tu" and the bolero-cha "Si Te Contaran". The famous pair recorded some of their finest work during the period that they were with the Fonseca label. Bobby Cruz (born February 1, 1937) is a salsa singer and religious minister. His seminal professional pairing with Richie Ray is one of the longest-lived partnerships in Latino music, lasting over 40 years. His wide vocal range and quiet, gentlemanly demeanor has earned Cruz enormous popularity over the years. Read more on Last.fm.
