Barretto Power

A Fania album of boogaloo and Latin soul, reissued on vinyl for its 50th anniversary.
Ray Barretto, 1970

The release year is disputed between 1970 and 1972. uDiscover describes "Right On" as an understated empowerment anthem with trumpets blaring like a fist in the air, one of the album's politically charged tracks. A search summary of another source puts it at about 2:40 and third on side A, which does not match uDiscover's order; the true running order is unconfirmed.
