"Sunday Kind Of Love"Bobby Rodriguez & Company at Poe Park Bronx N.Y. Video by Jose Rivera 9/11/94

In 1974, Bobby organized his brass and flute-led band, called La Compañia (the Company). They consistently worked the New York club circuit before debuting on Lead Me To That Beautiful Band in 1975. From the beginning, La Compañia's style, although firmly rooted in the Latin tradition, was heavily influenced by jazz, soul and funk, and their repertoire included English lyric songs. Second generation 'Nuyorican' (New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent), Eddie Iglesias Hernández, sang the English vocals and doubled on trombone. The Spanish lyric songs were performed by Puerto Rico-born Junior Cordova and José Acosta. Cordova had worked previously with Nelson Feliciano and Rafael Cortijo. A track from their first album, the Rubén Blades composition 'Numero 6' about delays on the subway, was a massive hit. Blades also wrote the hit 'What Happened' from Bobby's 'live' 1976 follow-up Salsa At Woodstock.
In 1977, Rodríguez, Hernández, Acosta and La Compañia's timbales player, Charlie Salinas, participated in the 17th anniversary album by the Alegre All-Stars led by Charlie Palmieri and produced by Al Santiago. Bobby's namesake played bass on the session. In 1978, Rodríguez and La Compañia had a hit single with the title track of Latin From Manhattan. This cover version of the 30s song, originally recorded by Al Jolson, was given a salsa/dixieland jazz treatment with Rodríguez's clarinet playing very much to the fore. In 1984, Eddie Iglesias Hernández left La Compañia and took Acosta and Salinas with him to form the nine-piece, two-trombone band Los Amigos And The Bad Street Boys. Spanish lead vocals on their tremendously successful debut Cheek To Cheek, were handled by Frankie Morales, who went on to work with the Lebron Brothers, before turning solo. Meanwhile, after a gap of three years, Rodríguez renamed his band La Nueva Compañia (The New Company) and came back with the appropriately titled Mi Regreso (My Return) in 1984. The lead singer on the album was Orlando Castillo 'Watusi' (b. 23 March, San Felipe, Yaracuy State, Venezuela). Watusi worked with Los Satélites, Porfi Jiménez and Federico Y Su Combo Latino before becoming a solo artist; he made his first UK appearance in 1990 with Tito Puente. Mi Regreso contained an outstanding remake of 'Olvidame' and a fine version of the classic 'Maria Cristina', composed by Ñico Saquito. In 1987, Cordova, Iglesias and Salinas reunited with Bobby and La Nueva Compañia for Juntos Otra Vez (Back Together Again). Video by Jose Rivera 9/11/94

Wow!! I remember this song back in the day on a radio station in New York City they used to play it every Sunday I love it so much it makes me happy!! ;)

[@hectoruriarte-atanacio68]

Brenda B nice

[@normantrombon]

Brenda B ...WRVR. Sunday salsa show with Roger Dawson, or Felipe Luciano, or... That’s where I heard Manny Oquendo and Libre for the first time, in 1974, nine years later I was playing with them, and last monday we lost our friend and colleague Jerry Gonzalez from that band. (Little known fact: Jerry and his family were offered the job as caretakers of Poe’s cottage, right here in the same park! They turned it down.) Damn, I learned a lot from these people. I owe my existence to their excellence. Bless you all!

[@ricardosalazar3029]

Siempre me ha gustado la sonoridad de este grupo de Nueva York. Son únicos en su estilo. Ojala sigan tocando y que se reúna este grupo nuevamente. Han estado fuera del escenario musical por un tiempo. Saludos Bobby y su grupo.

[@CesarVega]

Gracias Don Jose Rivera por subir este concierto❤️ Estuve buscandolo y no lo encontraba, gracias por esta reliquia. ¡Mi banda favorita! Bobby Rodriguez y La Compañia con Ricardo del Rosario en la voz👏🏽 #Sabrosura!

[@louisbadillo2734]

I remember 1973 Bobby Rodriguez y La compania al Dorsey on piano also Eddie Hernandez on trombone and singing back then joe Acosta y junior Cordova . Que viva la salsa Dura

[@MrSymbiosis1]

Through 1973, I played Bass with Ray Rodriguez Orch., under the direction of Bobby (because Ray was "doing his duty" in the Army). When it was known Ray would be coming back, Bobby told me about forming THIS band. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be a part of it (went to Johnny Colon to record "Caliente De Vicio"). When Bobby came out, HE WAS HOT! On bass he had Toti, who did a beautiful job. Whenever I saw the band, it was always a pleasure to see Bobby again. "He left us too soon". Ronny VanCooten

[@haroldcuenca2218]

do you speak Spanish ? I'm looking for Bobby Rodriguez information . Bye

[@cycleof7s438]

Is that Toti (on bass) in this video?

[@TheMIKEARANGO]
