I really enjoy his music and his songs have a lot to do with life. I told my mom if she leaves one day to give me her LPs of Hector, for will treasure them for as long as I live. BTW Hector is in my MP3!!

I am truly obsessed with Hector Lavoe's music after watching the movie "El Cantante". You never know the true story and feelings behind the songs till you know what's behind the story.

Growing up in a bad neighborhood and having to grow up as a child is hard but there was always salsa for me i have listened to Hector Lavoe's music constantly and consistantly and it has always kept me going if there was something bad going on i would listen to dia de suerte and the words and the beat would pick me up and keep me going the music that he made has inspired many puerto ricans like myself and others who understands the meanings of his music

Salsa music is something that i did not grow up listening to. As I've gotten older my taste in music is broadening and I must say that Hector Lavoe sang from his soul. I am so happy to have found him and be able to add his music to the soundtrack of my life.
Always remembered..

I was looking on line at pics of his tomb in puerto rico. I was amazed at how modest his tomb is. He was and is such a great singer. I was wondering why don't all of his fans figure out if there is a way to donate money and have them create a statute at his tomb stone in his honor. At least we can pay a tribute to him and his music that he left us. Just a thougth.

Back in 1967 I bought my very fisrt salsa LP,El Malo,by Willie Colon with Hector Lavoe on vocals.Since then I have been a life long fan of the both of them.With all due respect to Willie,there was then,there is now,and forever be only one El Cantante.May godbless Willie, and may Hector rest in peace.

I saw 'El Cantante' for the first time a couple weeks ago. I'm so glad I watched the end credits, because I had never heard 'Periodico De Ayer' and now I'm obsessed with the song! I watch the end credits over and over just to hear it. I went to YouTube and I love the 1978 performance-the video isn't all that, but Hector Lavoe's voice and the piano and the bass are AWESOME, I'm listening to it as I'm typing this now-Hector Lavoe's voice was(and is) so beautiful, God truly blessed him- he truly had 'la voz.' He could have sung the alphabet and it would have gone gold! I can't answer who is the better singer, because Hector Lavoe and Marc Anthony are like apples and oranges-they both go great in salad!

I work at San Francisco's most famous salsa club Roccapulco. The bands are fantastic. This is were I was introduced to Hector Lavoe's' music. I am the only causation working there. I fell truly blessed every time I hear his music being played there! Thank God for Hector Lavoe's Salsa vision. His music is loved by so many. His life is celebrated every time his music is listen to and danced to. Thank you Hector Lavoe were ever you are. You are still loved and remembered by so many.

I love Hector Lavoe’s music. There is no other latin singer who can match up to Hector. I grew up in NYC listening and dancing to his music and those were the best years of my life. There has never been a better sound than that of Hector and the entire Fania All Star. Thank you so much for keeping his name and music alive. This is what salsa music is truly all about. Let’s continue to expose this generation to this great music and keep this music ALIVE.

I've watched "Ël Cantante" yesterday, I didn't know anything about Hector Lavoe thats why I searched the web for his biography... truly, God gave Him the talent. I was so very sad to know that everything ends up not so good for him... but his story gives so much lessons for those who are already on the top... Drugs can kill! and Fame is like Drugs, it is addictive!!! Only few can survive.

To understand the impact that he had on people one must listen to the words of his songs, is what he sings about a reflection on society and ourselves? to this day, young and old have something in common when Hectors songs come on, its who we really are. GOD BLESS YOU HECTOR

I jjust saw "El Cantante" and decided to research Hector Lavoe's life. This is a good website to view his legacy. He was an excellent singer. Very tragic his life, though.

Al fallece Nuestro amor de la Salsa, Diosito se llevo un angel. Le tenemos que dar muchisimas gracias a Nuestro Senor por darnos un cantante, un rey de la Salsa, un maestro, un amigo, en todo un ser de tremendo talento. En verdad, tengo que decir que la pelicula "El Cantante" no le hizo justificacion a Nuestro Rey de la Salsa. todos tenemos problemas. Pero al ponerlos tan abierta y olvidar lo grande que Hector LaVoe hizo da mucha pena. Solo digo. Dios los bendiga en los Reinos del Cielo y algun dia nos veremos y ahi se va saber y oir quien es en verdad el rey de la Salsa y no olvidaremos al Sonero Mayor, Ismael "Maelo" Rivera. Dios nos siga bendiciendo con nuestra musica y mas todavia a todos nuestros artistas.

Como tu decias Hector: "es chevere ser grande, pero es mas grande ser chevere!" pues tu lo eras todo! eras grande como tu solo y mas chevere que nadie! Me hubiera encantado poderte conocer en persona, pero cuando tu moristes yo tan solo tenia 3años. Y ahora a mis 18 años Hector yo te escucho y te seguire escuchando hasta el dia en que cierre los ojos! Lavoe viviras eternamente en el corazon de todos los que amamos la salsa! Dios te bendiga Hector!

Hector Lavoe every song was a story. He sang for us not himself, only if he new how much people admired and loved him. i compare Hector Lavoe to the great Bob Marley. two great singers who are still jamming on the big stage above. god bless to the best.

Hector was the best!!!!!!Imitated but none will compare to him. I love all his songs, If iI find one I haven't heard iI got to have it. One of my favorites is "PONCE" For you to truly relate to this song you have to be from Ponce, like me from the Cantera & hang out downtown & in other barrios.
like Belgica, San Anton,la Playa, Res. Dr. Pila, El cotto Etc. Uvita!!!!!!!!

Hector Lavoe was the Greatest. I was very young and never saw him live. But, I have many of his songs on my IPOD and need his CDs. I appreciate him and everything he's done for the Puerto Rican Community. Que Viva Puerto Rico y Que Viva Hector Lavoe!!!!!!!!!!!

I Just wanted to say even though I didn't know him way back then. I listen to him now and the guy is the best really soulfull. It makes me very proud to be a Puerto Rican!
| (17) Albert Ortiz Jr. Fri, 2 January 2009 16:59:01 +0000 |
What can I say about the greatest voice that ever existed. It was a honor to grow up hearing Lavoe's music and now my son will grow up hearing the same greatness. I'm a musician and have played with some of the greats (Tito Puente, Arturo O'farell, Mario Rivera, etc.) and wish to one day be one of the Greats. Hector's quality is what draws me to this music known as SALSA. Soy BORICUA pa que tu lo sepa, God Bless You ALL.

Quien podra proveer las mejores adulaciones y homenaje a nuestro Hector Lavoe que el gran Ruben Blades cuando compuso y dedico su cancion "El Cantante" exclusivamente para Hector? Me crie escuchando y viendo a Hector en los 70. Hector fue y seguira siendo el mayor interprete de la epoca de oro de nuestra Salsa.

MAY god HAVE YOU RESTING IN PEACE,you are the best and there will never be one like you,am happy to be puerto rican ADR. AMOR DE REY.BLOOD LINE FOR LIFE STAND UP LATINO POWER TO THE LATIN RACE.
I started going to Salsa clubs in the S.F, Bay Area in the Early 80′s. Hectors music was the most requested, and I was blessed to see him play at Caesars Latin Palace in San Francisco. Through his music, I was influenced to learn to play the conga drums, and timbales. I would not be the musician I am today, if it hadn’t been for Hector. God Keep You Always El Cantante
