Missing Mongo Santa Maria LP

While researching Monog Santa Maria within Wikipedia, I could not find one LP, "Mongo Magic". It is listed under the biography for Bob Quaranta who was a band member.William R Miller 05:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Birth date

I was wondering if someone can tell me why the year is 1920, when right here I can see that it's 1917. Could someone provide a source claiming the year 1920? I couldn't find any.

This Article is Scant

Regrettably this wikipedia entry is very scant! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.231.213.243 (talk) 06:14, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Scant Article, You Say?

...This "stub" of an article is an insult in that it doesn't begin to tell about Mr. Santamaria's incredible journey. I was at the moment of this writing just reminded on air by veteran and pioneering radio and TV reporter Feliciano that Mongo, while a native of Cubaa-his parents are of Algerian and Congolese emmigration. this alone is fascinating, to say nothing of his cultural influence and effect on both hispanic And African-Americans. Much, much more needs to be added to the article. 69.126.238.184 (talk) 01:54, 23 January 2011 (UTC)Veryverser

Cultural reference

Would it be too fancrufty to mention that he was referenced in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles?

When Mongo rides into Rock Ridge on his Bramah bull, he's first spotted by a Mexican character who exclaims "Mongo! Santa Maria!" {The poster formrrly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.199.169.199 (talk) 03:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
