 The Best October 30, 2008

Babalu was everything I expected and more. Mr. arnaz never received all the attention he should have for his music. If you enjoy the 40's latin sound then you should buy this.
 Could Have Been Much Better December 31, 2005

It's too bad these songs from the late 1940s are in such sad shape. While the liner notes list Bill Lacey for 'Audio Restoration', the sound quality is still pretty poor.
The songs seem to be culled from singles and various film selections.
Jane Harvey and Amanda Lane pick up the vocals on a few of the songs, with Desi carrying the weight on others. 11 pages of liner notes and biography are included in this current packaging.
If you are looking for the Desi Arnaz excitement from his performances on the 'I Love Lucy' show of the later 1950s, this collection will leave you disappointed. While the seeds of his genius are here, Desi Arnaz, like Xavier Cugat in the same time period, only got better after these earlier recordings.
He certainly deserves better than this collection gives.
Maybe my favorite CD January 16, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
A friend first gave me this CD 5 years ago. At first I thought it was a joke, and that it would remind me of various I Love Lucy episodes. But I began listening to it at work and really came to appreciate Desi Arnaz's talent and the humor in the songs.Many of them are catchy tunes you'll find yourself singing and rhumba-ing to across your living room. I highly recommend it as an entertaining pleasant CD for a party or for your own ambient listening. Forget the Cuban Pete you saw on I Love Lucy. The songs you'll hear are simply great Cuban-inspired music.

...You will indeed love the sounds of a more innocent time in the late 1940's. Desi Arnaz, in my opinion has been over-looked and under-rated. He is Sensational on this CD! A very scarce and hard to find CD! Go for it! D. Thomas
