Ricky Martin, "Livin' La Vida Loca"

Ricky Martin announced on Monday that he's gay.  When I heard that, I was glad to hear that he still existed.  Didn't know if he was still alive or what.  So, good to know.

But it was a reminder of how big this song was back in 1999, during the Latin music invasion in America.  It's not a great song, but still has its place in music history.






Best of Ricky Martin

  1. Ah, I remember 1999. Girls would not talk to me if I didn't first say I liked this song. Guys would not talk to me if I didn't first say I hated this song.

    That was a tough year.

  2. It really was a rough spot. And LFO was around. Not pleasant.

    Having said that, I actually like a lot of the other Latin music to come out during that era.
