I never got to see him live. But I am thankful to him for putting together so many great records, and even more for his role in the diffusion of Latin music. Without him, there's a good chance that I would have never come across a lot of the music that I love today. Gracias Pacheco!

Lol, I Remember seeing him perform towards his later years with Hector Casanova. Stiff as a board due to age, but still Rumbeando at the top of his game. He’s an Icon of our music for sure.
