Puerto Rican-born upstart Victor Manuelle owes a debt of gratitude to Gilberto Santa Rosa, who took Manuelle under his wing after the talented upstart famously jumped on stage to sing with Santa Rosa at a concert. Santa Rosa was impressed, and Manuelle got a spot in the band. He went on to sing with a clutch of notable bands, including Puerto Rican Power, Domingo Quinones and Eddie Santiago. But Manuelle eventually proved that he could stand on his own two feet when he released a string of top-selling solo albums that have established him as a salsero for the young people.
