Juice it up!

“Juicy”   Willie Bobo.   Verve.   Another great one from 1967.   Includes the title tune and funky Latin soul/jazz covers of sixties hits including “Music to Watch Girls By,” “Knock On Wood,” “Ain’t to Proud to Beg,” “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”.   Bobo played bongo, timbales, conga, and trap-drum and after stints with Machito, Mongo Santamaria, Perez Prado, Tito Puente, George Shearing, Cal Tjader and Herbie Mann helped pioneer the Boogaloo sound.
