...today. Hearing his pure, radiant voice is like drawing the curtains back from a picture window and letting in the summer light. Until now, Anthony has been known to his many fans mainly as a salsa singer, and almost all his songs have been recorded in Spanish.

When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind...
