Pucho & The Latin Soul Brothers • Saffron And Soul

Review by Richie Unterberger

As he did on his other '66 session (Tough!), Pucho mixed pop and soul hits with the stronger stuff. That means the best and funkiest pieces--"Aye Ma Ma," "Soul Yamie," and a typically irreverent cover of "Caravan"--are mixed with the likes of "Reach Out I'll Be There" and "Alfie."

Reseña de Richie Unterberger

Como en su otra sesión del 66 (Tough!), Pucho mezcló éxitos de pop y soul con el material más fuerte. Eso significa que las mejores y más funkis, "Aye Ma Ma", "Soul Yamie", y una típica e irreverente versión de "Caravan", se mezclan con "Reach Out I'll Be There" y "Alfie".
