One of the finest salseros to ever grace the stage,
Willie Colón has contributed hundreds of compositions to the Latin music songbook, 16 of which are included on the Fania-issued
Greatest Hits. Though it's certainly not an all-inclusive compilation,
Greatest Hits gives a very good overview of
Colón's body of work, from his hard-driving salsa ("La Murga," "Che Che Cole") to his lighter, poppier pieces ("El Gran Varon," "Oh Que Sera"), which makes the album better for those indeed looking for a glimpse at the whole man, not just one of his sides.
