  • Ismael Quintana (b.June 3, 1937, Ponce, Puerto Rico – d.April 16, 2016, Colorado, USA) was a singer and composer of salsa music. His family moved to the Bronx sector of New York when he was only two weeks old; there he went to school and whilst he was still in high school he formed a band with his neighborhood friends. In 1961, bandleader Eddie Palmieri heard Quintana sing for an audition and invited him to join his newly organized orchestra %22La Perfecta%22. Quintana accepted and became the lead singer of the band between 1961 and 1971. During this time he co-wrote some of Palmieri's major hit songs. With Palmieri, Quintana was awarded the 1966 Trophy for the %22Most Popular Latin Singer of the Year%22, awarded at the famed Palladium Ballroom in New York. Quintana left Palmieri for a solo career and signed with the Vaya Records (subsidiary of Fania Records) . Between 1974 and 1983, he recorded five albums as a solo artist, scoring his first major hit with %22Mi Debilidad%22 (My Weakness).
