To many, Juan Torres (Mexico) the most popular latino organist (he played in the Hammond X66), with a unique style inspire people like me and many others, ( today active keyboardist), from the late 60, 70s, 80s and most of 90s, and here in the USA great organist like Frank Pellico (Chicago)knew him as I did too.....he was a great musician and play with his hearth, recorded over 79 LPS/CDs.......he'll be missed.

Thanks for the information. May he rest in peace.

I followed his as a specialist, since I live where he played before taking off into fame. We consider him from 'here' (Cd. Juarez, Mexico). He started with a Hammond B3 and a piano. He had them at right angles one to the other.

Dorantes, do you know where I can buy or get his original recordings with the B3? I have most of him after that.

His work lead to many Hammond organ sales in Latin America.

Thank you.
