Rico Suave
Highest Billboard Position:
#7 in 1991


Some programs are so sleazy that you feel guilty for watching it.  It’s like a car crash; you know you shouldn’t look, but you do anyway and feel a little guilty because of it.  Latin rapper, Gerardo had that same affect on people.  His song and corresponding video for his 1991 one hit wonder was so slimy that you needed to take a shower after hearing it…or seeing him.  Chances are you remember the song, but can’t remember if it was sung in English, Spanish, Spanglish, Jibberish or a defunct Native dialect.  Did it really matter?  What people do recall is the song’s which feature Gerardo crooning “Rico Suave” which we guess was his alter ego; or a venereal disease he contracted.  Either way, Gerardo’s ooze seemed to have disappeared as the man who once referred to himself as “Latin Elvis” is nowhere to be found.
