Untold Story of Hector Lavoe "THE SINGER"

From Ponce, Puerto Rico to New York and the world there is still much that can be told about the life story of Hector Lavoe. Anytime I hear a song of his played on the radio, the volume goes up and I begin to sing (I won't give up my day job) and it allows me to break away from everything else.
The first biographical film, "El Cantante", didn't do much to tell the story of this legendary singer. Can the film "The Singer" do better or will it be just another attempt at capturing his story? The trailers seem promising thus far but as trailers go one must really see the film in order to see if it captures the true essence of his life. Nonetheless, his music is his life and no movie can ever replace that.

  1. I agree with you that El Cantante focused too much on the drugs. But sadly, the drugs did play a major role in Hector's life. They led to his death. Any movie that is made must not water down the drugs because they were his destruction.
