THAT MAKES TWO OF US!!! MY CHRISTMAS IN AMERICA HAS BEEN MOST LONELY!!!! WHEN I SEE PEOPLE ON CHRISTMAS DAY WITH FAMILY, IT HAS BEEN HEART WRENCHING FOR ME, BECAUSE I HAD NO WHERE TO GO!!! SO I USE TO BE IN THE TRAIN JUST LOOKING AT PEOPLE HUSTLING TO GO TO THEIR LOVED ONES, HOPING I COULD ALSO FEEL THE SPIRIT!!! ONE DAY SOON I PRAY THAT THE REASON FOR THE SEASON, JESUS CHRIST, COMES QUICKLY AND TAKE ME TO ANOTHER LAND, I E HEAVEN WHERE I WOULD BE WITH JESUS, FATHER, HOLY SPIRIT, AND WHERE MY LOVED ONES ARE WAITING FOR ME!!! I AM SURE IT WILL BE OUT OF THIS WORLD IN TERMS OF JOY, LOVE, HEAVENLY MUSIC, BECAUSE CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT JESUS, AND THAT'S THE REASON WE ARE SO HAPPY DURING THE CHRISTMAS SEASON!!! THIS IS MY EARNEST, EFFECTUAL, FERVENT PRAYER, TO MY LOVE, JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE FETCH ME QUICKLY, I CAN' T LIVE IN THIS WORLD WITH SO MUCH ANIMOSITY. TOWARDS ME!!! THANK YOU JESUS, SWEET JESUS, FOR ANSWERING ME QUICKLY IN JESUS BLESSED NAME I PRAY THIS, AMEN AND AMEN, HALLELUJAH, GLORY!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

37:28 to 38:25 - The singer is my brother Curtis Leslie. He played the guitar and did some arrangement back then, and that is the only time I know of that he sang. Then he lost the use of his legs and eventually his place with the band as a result.

Thanks to those of you who have commented over the years, I am glad you all love their music as much as I do. When I posted this, six years ago, I wasn't finding other San Jose content on youtube but Just tonight I discovered more of their music has been uploaded since. You can take a look at my San Jose playlist which includes the 1971 album I played the most growing up. And there are other tracks too with great sound quality. I also added some other documentary content. Here is a bit of trivia I learned from reviewing one of the tracks--one person wrote that Gloria Alcazar composed the song Me Negrito for her second husband, Trevor O'Daniel. That has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written anywhere. Enjoy! kzitem.info/door/PL1OhDv6etZCdKJmMdkMo7cufavTw1s0hL

“Mi Negrito” was always one of my favorites. The music is so beautiful and Gloria Alcazar’s voice so sweet, both are matched only by the tenderness in her voice and the plaintive lyrics. I would listen to these albums over and over as a child. This is definitely a classic ❤❤❤
