It seems to me that around the late 80's record companies didn't have the concept of including interviews or other material of the artist in video collections. This collection of videos by Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine is nothing more than a collection of videos (pardon the repetition). The title certainly applies, because it goes in chronological order, from very early ("dr. beat") to almost the 90's ("oye mi canto"). Look especially for the great videos "don't want to lose you," "oye mi canto," and "anything for you."

Gloria arrived on the music video scene in the mid eighties. You will see some videos from that era. What was played on MTV or VH1 was that `cat video,' "Bad Boys". Even way back then, the cat costumes and makeup are very well-done. "Dr. Beat" is a goofy, conglomeration of people in a hospital setting. There are some concert stage videos "Betcha Say That" and "Words Get In the Way." Early music videos required color and dance to attract the attention of viewers and "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" fits that category as well as "Conga" and "Get On Your Feet", and "1-2-3." A superb balladeer with a sultry voice, you will see videos "Can't Stay Away from You."

Although I am not a "Gloria fan", this collection is good because it is strictly music, no interview, no extra non-music footage. I like a collection with JUST MUSIC! For the people who love Gloria, you will see the English and Spanish versions "Oye Mi Canto" "Don't Wanna Lose You", and "Anything for You" and "Here We Are."

If you are new to Gloria or love Gloria's music, this a great collection. It will introduce you to her evolution in music....Mzrizz

Very good collection of her early hits with Miami Sound Machine. It covers her songs from 1984(Dr. Beat) to 1989(Here We Are). My favorite Estefan song is on this video,(Can't Stay Away From You).
