La Voz is Hector's debut solo album after his split with Willie Colon and features many members from Willie's original band. His versatility as a vocalist and sonero is on display as he goes from boleros to Salsa with ease.
This album was originally released in 1972 and Rivera soon became a major star, but his fame precipitated depression, which "made him temporarily turn away from his musical goal, searching for life's highs through other channels."
