VINYL CLASSICS - EAST LOS PRESENTS THE BLUE SATINS

 

Back in April, 2022 I received an email from Ray Suarez, son of Raul Suarez, lead guiartist of The Blue Satins. Ray informed me that his father had passed away in 2020 and that he was putting together an album of Blue Satins recordings. He offered me a copy of the record which I present her as a token of my gratitude and in memory of Raul Suarez. Thank you Ray!!
