MALABE

I'd like to tell you about a special friend of mine
He was a great congero - a legend in his time
He played with salsa fire - the` music was so hot
He was the kind of man who gave more than he got

MALABE - He was a great salsero, Frankie Malabe
MALABE - He was a seeker of the truth
MALABE - He was a gentle giant, Frankie Malabe
MALABE - You know he left us much too..soon

When he would play with Harlow everyone would dance
And when he took a solo he put you in a trance
There were so many times when he drove the dancers wild
Playing with rhythm, power, and the freedom of a child

So many loved you through the laughter and the tears
You put a smile on every face
You touched so many in the time that you were here
You can be proud you made this world a better place
