Gypsy Woman

Released

The debut LP by East Harlem’s “Afrofilipino” singer and bandleader, Gypsy Woman announced the arrival of Latin boogaloo’s premier R&B vocalist. While songs like the title track and “Fuego” were exemplary of the mid-‘60s Latin soul music craze, it was the ballad “Ordinary Guy” that would become Bataan’s most enduring hit and one of the greatest slow jams of the boogaloo era.
