Talented. Charismatic. Self-destructive. We’re talking about award-winning salsa legend Frankie Ruiz, who remains in our hearts nearly 25 years after his death at only 40 years old. His songs were sexy and daring (as in “Desnúdate Mujer”), honest and raw (as in “Mi Libertad”). He was born and died in New Jersey, and was Boricua through and through (check out his megahit “Puerto Rico”).
Take this ride as we discuss his early rise to fame, his demons, his comebacks, and his legacy.
