Performer: Ricky Martin
Artist: Christina Aguilera; Fat Joe; Amerie; La Mari Distributor: Sony Music Entertainment Notes: Audio Remasterer: Christian Valencia. A 17-track retrospective that features selections from each of the 17 years of Ricky Martin's career, 17 is a peculiarly literal but nonetheless fascinating summary of the Puerto Rican pop star's life and work. 17's evenhanded approach devotes as much attention to selections from Martin's earliest records, RICKY MARTIN and ME AMARAS, as it does to international blockbusters like "Livin' La Vida Loca." As a result. this compilation should serve as an unexpectedly refreshing introduction to some of the highlights of Martin's early Spanish-language-market-oriented career.
Getting his start as part of teenyboppers Menudo in the '80s, and staying in the public's eye as an actor on General Hospital, Ricky Martin launched his own solo career by the late-'90s. Nobody could have predicted Martin's meteoric rise, topping the charts and selling out arenas on the strength of his monster Latin dance hit "Livin' La Vida Loca."
