'The number Soogie I wrote as a teaser, and funny thing is that I went to
introduce the album in Chicago, I remember Ismael Maisonave then owner of
Mary Lou, Sophia the singer known as Sophie, and Raul Marerro, we all went
together to introduce new releases that we had and everybody wanted me to
start with the song Soogie. I did not want to because of the word 'Pee', I
said no because of the word. But sure enough we played the number, the owner
of the station an older lady came running into the studio and said no you
cannot play that! And that was it...' Willie Rodriguez
