    Jon Secada was one of the best Latin voices to emerge in the 1990's. From his backup work with Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine to his later solo hits, he was very popular with the ladies.
    Marc Snthony would break through later in the decade with two brilliant singles, I NEED TO KNOW, and YOU SANG TO ME.
    Ricky Martin would have his biggest success with SHE BANGS and LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA.
    Of course, the Latin explosion wouldn't be complete without mentioning Selena and the major return of Carlos Santana.
    There was also Juan Gabriel, Lucero, Alejandra Guzman, Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, and many others.
    Speaking of Santana, the next song should be MARIA, MARIA. Everyone knows about SMOOTH. But I think the rhythm and pace of Maria will really hook you. Enjoy

Jon started as Gloria Estefan's back up singer and she was very supportive of his career. You will see Gloria briefly in the video singing back up for Jon. His English and Spanish songs were also very popular in Latin America. He had that rhythmic Latin sound. 💖

    We hear Jon Secada sing "I" the first time at 2:15 and you can see Amber smile for the first time in this song and you see Jay's eyebrows go up. They are pleasantly surprised and genuinely impressed. Twenty seconds later we hear the second "I" and both Jay and Amber close their eyes and are fully in love with Jon Secada's vocals. See how Jay and Amber react to the third time Jon Secada sings "I" at 5:20 and the fourth time at 6:05.

    Jon was such a staple of VH1 and 90’s late night love song stations. My favorite by him is “If you go.” It’s so powerful and has the stereotypical desert video that was so pervasive at the time! 😂 Like everyone says, his catalog is huge and his songs in Spanish are so amazing.

      My mother is Mexican, so every time I hear this song, it plays in my head in Spanish alongside the English.
      I got curious and checked him out on Spotify. Just Another Day has 82.5 million plays in English. It has close to 100 million in Spanish. Love it!

    So here in Florida, high school seniors would go on their class trip called "Grad Nite" to Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Disney would close the park to only HS seniors until the early morning hours. We were in a STUPID long line for Space Mountain, so we left and wandered to the live music area. JON SECADA WAS PERFORMING THIS SONG!!! So good! PM Dawn also performed. Never so grateful for long Space Mountain lines 😂

She had the biggest crush on him, recorded anything he made an appearance on, even went and saw him live on the Jay Leno show. Listening to this song with you guys was like an exercise in muscle memory LOL. I still know every lyric, every breath, every time he gives that heartfelt wince when he hits the high notes.

He tends to have a green card to those "Bring Back The 90s" concerts. Other songs by him thats worth checking out too: If You Go, Do You Believe In Us, Too Late Too Soon and even Jon Secada ANGEL (Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino ) Its on Jons own YT channel,and it shows him truly carrying a song live. Jon Secada is a vocal beast!

  • @owenbb505
    @owenbb505 7 місяців тому +5

    What struck me when I heard this song was how the piano in the verse parts just stood out. The synth beat in the background is light, yet has a driving feel to it and the vocals, including Jon's, have an airy vibe to them. It gives that song a lot of empty space, like you're truly in a room by yourself. It builds very subtly until Jon opens that last chorus section in a grand way. Takes me back to summer of '92. Great choice again, guys!

Ahh, that feeling when you get your first taste of freedom, before you grow bored with adulthood and wonder where your youth went. That's what this song sounds like to me.
