This was during a period when I was producing Brazil '66 records and got infected by Brazilian music.

Instrumental music can spread the international language.

I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.

I don't think radio is selling records like they used to. They'd hawk the song and hawk the artist and you'd get so excited, you'd stop your car and go into the nearest record store.

We finally got our big break when Ed Sullivan put us on his show.

You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.
