Yes, when I first heard that tune 'Doctor Beat', I thought, my word - she's not going to get very far is she? Well, I guess I was badly wrong becuase quite a few people out there like her! This album was given to me from an ex-husband, and you know how we don't like to play those type of things. But then again, I want to keep it because I might want to listen to it one day! The only tracks that I like on this album are 'Conga', 'Word's get in the way', 'Don't wanna lose you' and 'Coming out of the Dark'. Apart from those few, I would tend to click through the rest. OOOps - sorry Gloria! However, for the average Gloria Estefan fan, this would be an ideal album to have.
