The immortal one

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is one more collection of some of Raphael's best-known songs over the last 40 years. Yes, that's how long this artist has been around. Raphael is the only artist in the world (perhaps) to have merited an uranium album (forget platinum!) for achieving record sales of his materials. No question, Raphael is the archetypal pop star in Spanish. His songs belong to the collective memory of at least two generations and no one has a voice to match his (Tom Jones would be a good analogy outside the Hispanic world). This particular collection is less predictable than many but it does include some of the Raphael's standard superhits: "Yo soy aquel," "Ave Maria," "Cierro mis ojos.""
