About The Record:
Goin' Latin, is a studio jazz album with Latin percussion and style by Ramsey Lewis which was released by Cadet Records in 1967. The album reached No. 2 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart and No. 16 on the Billboard Soul Albums chart. Thom Jurek of Allmusic noted Richard Evans' "arrangements and bottom-heavy soulful sound mix well with Lewis' indulgence in bossa nova, discotheque boogaloo, and Latin soul-lite on this set." The single spawned by this album, One, Two, Three, charted on the U.A. Billboard Hot 100.
