Yes when she came back did that song coming out of the dark. Great song great comeback. However. The accident happened at the peak of her career, she couldn’t dance as well due to a broken back and was out of the game so long the group lost its momentum and never was as hot as they were pre accident.

Her husband and son were also on the bus and had less extreme injuries. There's an English and Spanish version) "This Christmas", (first by Donny Hathaway) "Everlasting Love", "Turn the Beat Around", and more. The last two are remakes of songs from the disco/'70s era.

Gloria Estefan is Cuban, and the band draws heavily on Cuban music; a signature feature is that the piano is driving the tune's propulsive rhythm. It sounds pretty distinct from the music of Selena, Linda Ronstadt (both of whom are of Mexican heritage) and Marc Anthony (Puerto Rican). Next Stops, Gloria Estefan Edition: "Get on Your Feet" "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" "1-2-3"

They had quite a few big hits like "RYTHM IS GONNA GET YOU" and "TURN THE BEAT AROUND", and if you really want to hear how great her voice is try "ANYTHING FOR YOU" and "HERE WE ARE". I suggested her and her band back when you were doing the Latin artists like Salina, because I knew you would like them. I'm glad you finally did. You need to do some Ricky Martin now too.

For me (& most people), it is impossible to sit still when a song by the Miami Sound Machine comes on! They introduced the music mainstream to the Cuban vibe in the 80's. Definitely also check out "The Music's Gonna Get You" , "Turn the Beat Around", "Get On Your Feet" & "Anything for You", which showcases Gloria's beautiful vocals. The band was involved in a serious accident while on tour in 1990. Gloria was severely injured & nearly died. Doctors weren't sure she would even be able to walk again, but not only did she walk, but was even back dancing a year later on her comeback tour. She is an awesome person & does a lot of charitable work for the Latin community, abused children & music education. Her husband, Emilio is also in the band.

Random fact: She's Cuban and had a bad accident in 1990.

Something else that I really appreciate about her is the fact that she has a lot of upbeat songs that became hits but equally she had a lot of ballads and more melancholy songs that were hits. I think that just showed their range. Imo, there are a lot of artists who don't try for that range and others who try but don't succeed.
