Updates Needed

This article is in need of servere updating. There is much more to his histroy and his impact on Salsa. Willie is one of the pioneers of the genre. More should also be emphacised on his involvement with the Fania All Stars. Also, a picture is also something that the article is lacking as well.Kcuello (talk) 16:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

There appears to be a bio cut-and-pasted into this article, leading me to suspect a copyvio. I haven't checked launch or anything, and I was going to flag it, but this article needs some attention anyways, so hopefully whoever finds the time can check on this issue.--Rockero 21:38, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yep - almost the whole article is a complete cut and paste copyvio from [1]. I removed the copyvio-ed info - AKeen 07:12, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article states that Willie Colon was born "to Puerto Rican parents". By way of clarification, both of Willie Colon's parents were born in New York City. However, all four of his grandparents were born in Puerto Rico. Netady 01:32, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sales

What is meant by Colón holds the record for all time sales, creating 40 productions that have sold over 30 million records worldwide? Because Johnny Cash has sold over 90 million already as well, or do they mean sales per album/work/song/...? 84.197.141.55 (talk) 19:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
