...a voice...
..from a diminutive body...
..Luz Esther Benitez Rosado was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico one July..she
was the only daughter to Juan Benitez and Luz Maria Rosado..she also had
three brothers:Enrique, Ramon and Wilfredo..Lucy (as known to her fans,
friends and family) was influenced by her mother's singing at home while
performing chores..The first song she ever sang in public was "La Barca"
and from there her career went uphill..el Club del Clan, Show de las 12
and countless others..Her high point was winning first prize in Mexico in
March of 1969 with her hence incomparable rendition of G.V. Lloveras'
GENESIS..a very brief yet powerful testament way ahead of its time that
evokes the tragedy of man's weak will and God's strong commandment of
eternal love....Lucy went on to perform with Sammy Davis, Jr., a stint at
the Ed Sullivan Show in November 1970 and her place in history of being the
highest paid performer in the Club Caribe at the Caribe Hilton in PR...
