Tito Puente
This New Yorker was a beloved global leader of hot, dance heavy Latin Jazz for more than half a century.
Puente hated the Salsa label, saying "I don't play sauce, I play jazz."
If you think Santana's cover of Puente's "Oye Como Va" is hot, check out the firey Tito original.
If your first name was Ernest, you'd change it to Tito too.
Frank Sinatra and Tito Puente shared concert stages in the 1980s and planned to record together. Sadly, it never happened.
