Welcome Back Little Willie G.......2006-07-05
Willie Garcia, AKA "Little Wille G", was the lead singer for the group known to mostly L.A. fans as "Thee Midniters" in the 60's. For those of you who have not seen this group in concert or heard their music, let me just say, Thee Midniters had the charisma, showmanship and most importantly the sound of great harmony. A distinguish blend of soul, R&B and a touch of British rock. Having been there during their heyday, their music was remarkable that made most feel like dancing or making out. Each track on this CD is a combination of love ballads and leisurely dance. That being said, this music is not for everyone, but if you appreciate a unique sound of the 60's from the hottest Chicano group, this CD is one to own. You can find it here on Amazon. The CD is titled "Thee Midniters". Initially, I was slightly disappointed that some tracks were recorded from vinyl, but then I realized, it was like finding gold in the banks of a river. Why it took so long for this CD to come out I'll never know.
As far as this album here, "Make up for lost time", Willie, after a long struggle of hardship, made this album after teaming up with David Hidalgo, (Los Lobos) and developed a great sound... Although Willie has matured as we all do, (we are the same age) he still has that great sound and I found his album can still inspire even the young and the old. Even at my age, I still want to make out when I play his album.
Buy it!
Powerful Entertainment.......2002-09-27
In the tradition of the great soul singers of the early 60's, Little Willie G. bares his heart and seems to have a good time while doing so. Why it's taken him so long, since his days with Thee Midniters and Malo, to record again would be interesting to know but nevertheless what a marvalous collection of songs and what a delight to hear this icon of East Los Angeles still in great form and voice. I recommend this CD to all who have ears to hear! Great lyrics, wonderful arrangements played by skilled musicians and produced by another East L.A. ledgend, David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, what a combination of talent.
East Los Angeles Legend.......2002-01-06
Very nice return from the great Willie G. (little Willie G.) of the legendary band from East L.A. Thee Midnighters. Wille also a former lead vocalist for the latin rock band "Malo">(Ascencion) album. known for his soulful voice and great vibrato control, Willie was a pro in his teens with all the showmanship and attitude of a seasoned veteran. For those of you interested in this great vocalist check out the old Lp's of Thee Midnighters with a great horn section and fellow band mate Romeo Prado, who by the way does his horn arrangements on this solo project. You will find some old Midnighters tunes redone here in "Come Back Baby", "It'll Never Be Over For Me" and the classic "To Be With You". He also has some very inspirational tunes here as the older fans know that Willie is a very devoted spiritual singer and has been the one of the people that was inspirational in starting the Victory Outreach Church and programs. Also try the Malo album "Ascencion" which is one of the bands finest. Very nice indeed from a man that has come a long way through a tough life of music.
Excellent CD & singer.......2001-06-09
I had never heard music like this before. Or at least nothing matchful. Carlos Santana is the best guitarist, and Little Willie G. for sure is the best to come out of East L.A. and not only that but really does surpasses all most of these new singers.
