Met Raul and his wife Betty in Nashville, 1996. Remember I was at his house at a party after I moved to Nashville and he turned me on to Perez Prado and Louis Prima. He was playing the albums of course! At the time I didn't know who they were. I went out and bought all the records and still have them today. He was a wonderful guy and definitely one of the greatest singers ever to come out of this country..well Cuba too I suppose. Left alot of music behind to enjoy.
