Today's Vinyl on My Turntable: "Subway" by Joe Bataan
From the liner notes.
'Joe Bataan and the boys from east 98th to East 110th Street. That's right - the group that recorded the Gypsy Woman album with the two hit tunes "Gypsy Woman" and "Ordinary Guy" all live within a few blocks of each other.
All the band members, with the exception of Joe Bataan who iconically is a mixture of Philippine and Soul Brother, are of Latin descent.
In the tunes "Subway Joe", "Magic Rose", and "Special Girl" you will hear a beat comprised of soul and modern Latin which will satisfy a variety of moods and tastes.
Joe and the Latin Swingers,is a young family formed in October of 1966 by Joe himself, to which Lorenzo "Chino" Galan and Tito Ramos have contributed even more strength. Strength which will aid in the distribution of the magic sound of Joe Bataan and the boys from Soul Street.
This album is dedicated to George Pagan, The boy who sang lead latin vocal on their first album. Unfortunately George died soon after that album was recorded.

Lyrics on my mind: Hitched by The Kills
Don't you leave me here
Don't you leave me here
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get hitched
Get back, get by
Get a room, give me 105
Don't lie, don't care
Don't answer if you call me there
Don't you leave me here
Don't you leave me here
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get hitched.
Lay down by the road
Black rocks and a can of holes
Gone four, gone five
Sweating, cussing on the mean side
Don't you leave me here
Don't you leave me here
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Hitched
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Hitched
Sit tight, getting by
Got a room, got my 10-5
Say it son, get gone
Smiling, all like a dead-eyed dog
Don't you leave me here
Don't you leave me here
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Hitched
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Hitched
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
Keep, keep on your mean side
