16 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Xavier Cugat's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including "Chica Chica Boom Chic," "Brazil," "Amor," "Tico-Tico," "My Shawl," "You, So It's You," "Walter Winchell Rhumba," "Miami Beach Rhumba" and "South America, Take It Away." Although it's far from a perfect retrospective of his career, it's still a nice sampler of familiar items, and it may satisfy the needs of some casual fans who only want the hits.
