A dozen have heard "Papi Chulo" by now on these boards. It went on to be a long-lasting PeopleBase Top 5 hit, but it did not beat Point of Grace's "Begin With Me" peak. :)
Atlantic Records loved "Papi Chulo" so much they are still talking about it, but it was TOO original, they didn't think it would sell with the general public. (Unlike Alicia Keys's "Song In A Minor" which was "almost TOO original" but still marketable).
Angela Via went out on a brim and wrote what critics might exclaim as "ground-breaking," "refreshing," and "a new sound." It's what Atlantic Records asked for but then they were scared they would lose money on it, so they wimped out. ANGELA VIA DID HER PART; Atlantic Records didn't.
To bury their embarassment of being wimps, Atlantic Records ordered 20th Century Fox to change the name of their movie "Papi Chulo" to "Chasing Papi." Atlantic Records was scared the same title might have people questioning what happened to the amazing tracked played on the "Six Flags" campaign. (Too bad for Atlantic, I am pulling this conspiracy theory out of their closet)
As Rebecca Lynn Howard once sung, "what a shame." :(
