La Lupe

Track:
Born Lupe Victoria Yoli Raymond in December 1936 was one of the fieriest performers in the history of "Latin" music. Not onlywas she a dangerously sexy perfoprmer, during her heyday she remained an adherent of the Santeria cult, which involved the worship of a pantheon of gods - not something likely to engender much sympathy in much of the USA. she died in 1992, having converted to Christianity late in life.
This is her version of "Fever"

I paused Mary Chapin Carpenter's "This Shirt" on my iTunes player to find out how fiery La Lupe is. After hosing down Ye Olde Pismo and airing out the screaming smoke detector, I see that this is a three-alarm fire well worth hearing/colecting. Just the kind of person who could recite "Lincoln Portrait" and start a popular revolution!
Comparatively, Charo is a nun.
Wahiawa786's reaction matches La Lupe's extravagance (sorry ivylander). I hope her other recordings were this creative and rivetting.
