My nick name is SONNY, Johnny and I went to COMMERCE HIGH SCHOOL together and sang all through school; I even sang in Johnny's singing group (four PR's and one Italian!) I loved it,and so did Johnny. " The night is quiet" was sang throghout Commerce HS, but no one sang it like us! I was there when Johnny made his second album, and could not take my eyes off this GREAT performer! I went to many of Johnny's shows in Manhattan and the Bronx, and even watch him perform on a dance cruise; nothing could stop this great man! I had two bands at my wedding, January 1969, and Johnny and his band honored my wife and myself by performing for one solid hour of the best latin music in the world! I miss, and love him SIEMPRE!

We Like it Like That - The Story of Latin Boogaloo brought me here. I can't believe Iv'e been missing out on this music my whole life and have just been turned on to it by this documentary. Simply fantastic.
He aqui un grande de los ritmos alegres , un virtuoso que junto a su orquesta en los 60 , 70 hicieron un boogaloo revolucionario recordar un echalo pa' ca , mi querida bomba y muchos mas y verlo todavia con energia haciendo lo que mas le gusta Gracias maestro jhonny por seguir deleitandonos con buena musica .
definitivamente esta musica hace feliz a mi vida NUNCA LO HABIA ESCUCHADO creo que es lo menor que he escuchado en mi corta vida 68 añitos desde medellín colommbia con cariño
OMG!!!!!!!!! Never thought I'd see/hear this again. I am so in love w/this treasure. Boogaloo forever!!!! Johnny Colon ROCKS!!!!!!!! "One- two-three, I feel so free" 5:46 grooves me on!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember this song when I was about six or seven, never knew the name of it or understood the words either because of the cheap transistor radios of the 60's, I am watching a documentary called America reframed the history of Latin Boogaloo. They played this song and I liked to have fell out of my chair. I thought I would never hear this song again. I feel blessed to have this rare treat to hear again.
La musica es un oceano como latino descubro que no es el idioma es lo que sentimos que hermoso tanta cultura para llegar hata esta creaciones mezcla de razas y culturas no olvidare un abrazo hermanos.
If I were stuck on an Island and I had only song it would be this one. I wish T%T had never left the band. I listen to the original version almost every day. I have it set up that this is the only song played at my funeral. The only thing I do not like about this version is that he added trumpets and it sounds like he took the song up an octave. One does not mess with the Mona Lisa. Then why mess with the one song that represents my generation. I spoke with Mr. Johnny Colon after one his shows a few years ago. He told me he was going to modernize it. I wanted to cry. I wanted to tell not to mess with perfection This tune is more than song. It represents an era, a culture, the urban sound.
Wow qué maravillosa sorpresa poder encontrar nuevamente a mi gran amigo mi gran mentor mi gran maestro en aquellos momentos de mi edad de 27 años cuando estuve visitando y aprendiendo en la escuela del barrio aquel momento un momento especial junto con mi amigo taíno zhaes.. desde New Jersey viajaba para aprender de Sus consejos de sus enseñanza y claro de la música es tremenda sorpresa en poderte ver de nuevo mi querido amigo y maestro al cual respeto con un gran honor feliz me siento después de tanto tiempo verte de nuevo por RU-vid así que algún día estaremos viendo Dios bendiga a tu familia tu salud y sigo aprendiendo de usted mi querido maestro Johnny Colón desde Jersey City William Santiago su alumno
Maestro si ... pero .... It needs Tito Ramos on that vocal to make it pop (in my humble opinion). The brass section could do with some distance between the roots and major thirds - about an octave apart would do nicely. Hey - respect to the man who I am so glad to be seeing still doin' his thing. I only say this because I not only remember this record / song ... not only have I worked with Tito Ramos myself but I am able to play it in my head chord for chord - beat for beat - break for break exactly as I heard it all them decades ago. It's like I can even hear the room that it was recorded in! Boogaloo Blues, the Meditation, el Watusi, Bang Bang, I like It Like That ... magic moments in 60s Salsa without doubt ;-)
Maestro absoluto el señor JOHNNY COLÓN. Pá que aprendan los mediocres engreídos que se creen estrellas. Así es que se dirige y se canta. Los niños van a la escuela.

I heard him a male voice say 1.2.3...i I am not sure what de la soul story is...but does the living brothers Afro American...well can you or they enlighten moi...si SI... Poppy 💝 love u all. Peace ✌️ and blessings...peace in the middle East. Peace God 🙏😊❤️💜🌄🌞🌻 princess Lea
+Miguel Angel Barrera Rodríguez Compañero al parecer usted no ha escuchado toda la música que ha compuesto Johnny Colón es muchísimo más brava y quiero recordarle que Johnny no se dejó envolver en la porqueria que llaman salsa este señor conserva los ritmos de antaño algo que Willie Colón dejó olvidado.
Amigo el maestro Johnny Colon su musica es de la epoca de oro de la salsa no se puede borra pero tambien en la epoca de Willie Colon con Hector LaVoz su musica sera siempre la brava.
Daniel Fuentes Compañero, yo si he escuchado la música de Johnny Colón, porque realmente lo admiro, pero sus comentarios de que "su música es muchísimo más brava", "no se dejó envolver en la porqueria que llaman salsa" y "conserva los ritmos de antaño algo que Willie Colón dejó olvidado", son absolutamente subejtivos, carentes de todo argumento musical válido. Me molesta mucho la gente que se considera erudita y cree que eso les da derecho a despotricar impunenemte... Los dos Colón son muy buenos y es absurdo tratar de ponerlos en discordia...Bochinchero!
