Missing Mongo Santa Maria LP

[edit]

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)[reply]

Birth date

[edit]

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. (Eeyore22 15:06, 10 October 2007 (UTC)) " The Smithsonian gives 1922 as his birth year, and (FWIW) that's what is shown on the April 7 page. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 04:08, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This Article is Scant

[edit]

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

Scant Article, You Say?

[edit]

...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[reply]

Cultural reference

[edit]

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)[reply]
