Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987
“Betcha Say That” is a song from 1987 performed by Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine from their 1987 album, Let It Loose. It was written by Larry Dermer, Joe Galdo, and Rafael Vigil.
Released as the second single from Let It Loose, “Betcha Say That” was not among Estefan’s bigger hits of the 1980s, peaking at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in October 1987. It was more successful on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, where the song reached #19. In the UK, the single was released in September 1987 and like the previous release of Rhythm Is Gonna Get You, it failed to chart.
The song was not selected for inclusion on the singer’s 1992 greatest hits album.

Many thanks again for this excellent twelve!!! I kept on hearing shades of Diana Ross’ “Chain Reaction” of which is an old time favorite of mine. Plus, the brass and chimes! And percussion. This really should have been HUGE!!! Thank you, Paul!!!
Jeff
Thanks for this forgotten gem that I otherwise would never have heard.
You are doing a very good job on bijou of that era, thanks
Another one completely new to me! I love how you take the road less traveled and showcase these lesser hits. Still so deserving to be heard again! Thank you Paul!!
Great song!! I have never heard the mix of this, so I really loved this post!!
My college radio station was Adult Contemporary during the day, so I’m sure I know the song. I love Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine and have really loved collecting their 12-inch catalog. Thanks Paul for filling in the gaps. I tend to really like the songs that never really made it. Guess I’m different than everyone else. That’s why I love you site so much. You constantly pull out the surprises and the under-appreciated and the obscure. LOVE YOU SO MUCH, DjPaulT. You’re a great disc jockey and musical archivist!!
Jeff
Thank you, Jeff. This is a pretty good one from their catalog. Hope you enjoy it 🙂

You’re welcome 🙂
thanks a lot Paul! Have a great day. =)
You’re welcome, Marc. Have a great day 🙂
Cool!!! Muchas gracias por este Maxi Paul, I was waiting for it for a long time.
De Nada, SERGIO 🙂
