JOE LOCO & HIS ORCHESTRA - HAPPY GO LOCO
Joe Loco was the guy who first came out with a mambo record in the US, Tenderly it was called, came out in '51 and in '53 he came out with the first cha cha record.... He was playing the trombone in Count Basie's band when he was 17 years old and later played with some other greats like Xavier Cugat.... Nice album this, came out in '59... Not the hard and heavy mambo from Perez Prado (which I prefer) but there's a few really nice one's on this one, like the tune Ja Da Cha Cha Cha.... Check it out....
GET IT HERE
This song is not on this album but it's pretty much in the same vain as this album:
enjoy!
