Got Myself a Good Man

Recorded by bandleader and timbales player Henry 'Pucho' Brown and his Latin Soul Brothers during the group's productive Prestige Records period. The session blended Latin percussion, soul-jazz instrumentation and vocal elements characteristic of the band's crossover sound. Released in 1971 on the album Tough!, the track exemplified the fusion of Latin rhythms, soul and jazz that Pucho helped popularize in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It became a standout selection among dancers and collectors drawn to groove-oriented Latin soul recordings. The recording gained lasting recognition through the rare-groove movement and later sampling by hip-hop producers. It remains one of the most sought-after tracks in Pucho's catalogue and a respected example of Latin soul's influence on subsequent groove-based music.
