Teddy Torres

During the time that Chicago was experiencing the Slasa Explosion, a young singer came on scene form Hartford, Connecticut I believe. That singer, Teddy Torres, got his feet wet in the Chicago Latin night club scene and was immediately accepted. As I remember it, Teddy was a pretty boy of sorts charming the ladies as he sang to them. He was charismatic and a true showman. I don’t know whatever became of him and was wondering if anyone out there can give us an update. I recall that he recorded an album with renowned trumpet player, Jose Merino, who wrote most of the material on the album entitled, “Jose Merino” (Borincano Records – 1974). I managed to attach a short clip of one of the cuts on the album. See if you remember him.
