Notes: 1) Above image and following credits were taken from a Mexico release with 3 bonus tracks (tracks 13, 14, 15). According to web sources, this CD album was originally released in the US with only the first 12 tracks. Two different subsequent non-US releases added the Spanglish radio edit of “Maria” as a bonus track, sometimes at the beginning of the song selection, sometimes at the end. 2) According to web sources, in some of the above editions - US release included - CD album comes with alternate cover art and photography. The alternate picture is a David La Chapelle image which is anyhow included in this edition’s inner booklet. 3) In the following credits, those music/tech terms which were originally written in Spanish have been translated into English. 4) Album does not come with track-by-track musician credits. 5) Please check back for inclusion of more data and possibly the numerous alternate versions of this CD album’s singles.

Track 3:
“Jussi Wenger (Guitarras en “María”).

“K.C., Benny, Rob, who capture my feelings, recorded them and made them sound incredible for their wit and wisdom, but also for those times of happiness and laughter in moments of desperation. // Ricardo y Angelo, por escucharme, entenderme y buscar solución a mi laberinto. // Wendy Riche, for understanding, believing and supporting me in important decisions in my life. // A Jose Angel Buesa y su poesía apasionante. // Ednita Nazario, por la motivación que nos transmite a los jóvenes cantantes puertoriqueños. // Alejandro Sanz, gracias por tu apoyo. // Luis Gomez Escolar, gracias por escucharme. // Franco de Vita, que musa tienes!! // Mami, por tu fuerza y valor. Por tus enseñanzas que hoy día me hacen ser quien soy. TE AMO. // Papi, por estar conmigo, por entender mi vida y amarme. TE ADORO. // Jose Luis, alma guerrera que me enseñó el significado de la palabra paciencia, hermano mío, te necesito aquí. D.T.B. // Nicky Parra, por siempre cuidarme en esta batalla. Gracias. // Marta, con respeto te añoré. // Keith Yensen & B.W. Thank you for trying to feel my soul. I’M ALIVE. // A la bella America de Buenos Aires a Santiago de Lima a México de L.A. a N.Y. Gracias por haberme hecho reir, llorar, amar y vibrar. // A Dios por darme la serenidad de aceptar las cosas que no puedo cambiar y el coraje para cambiar las que sí puedo… // Lilly Melgar y su buena fe. // Zonia estoy acostumbrado a ti. Te quiero cerca.”.
