Album review
One of the finest salseros to ever grace the stage, Willie Colón has contributed hundreds of compositions to the Latin music songbook, 16 of which are included on the Fania-issued Greatest Hits. Though it's certainly not an all-inclusive compilation, Greatest Hits gives a very good overview of Colón's body of work, from his hard-driving salsa ("La Murga," "Che Che Cole") to his lighter, poppier pieces ("El Gran Varon," "Oh Que Sera"), which makes the album better for those indeed looking for a glimpse at the whole man, not just one of his sides.
