Tito Rodriguez vocalist, percussionist, composer, bandleader (1923 -1973) in the 1950’s through ‘60’s was a smooth voiced Latin nightclub crooner, who reigned over the radio and record charts geared toward the Puerto Rican community both in New York and on the island, where his music is still very popular. His popularity then grew broader and reached into all of Latin America. His distinct, resonant voice floated crystal-clear above the dense sound of his large orchestra, which was the best in its day. He is still revered as an uptempo sonero and a romantic singer who influenced the wave of salsa singers that followed. In 1963 he issued the Latin jazz “Live At Birdland,” which featured the jazz musicians Zoot Sims, Clark Terry, Bob Brookmeyer Tito Rodriguez’s last appearance was with Machito and his band at Madison Square Garden on 2 February 1973. He finally lost the battle with leukemia and 26 days later, on 28 February 1973, Rodriguez died in his wife’s arms.
