La Primerisima Orchestra de Puerto Rico
In 1960, Olivencia organized his first orchestra, which he named "Tommy Olivencia y La Primerisima Orchestra de Puerto Rico". His band combined swing and melodic styles together. This combination plus a strong brass contingent in the band was his trademark. Olivencia signed a contract with Inca Records and remained with that label until 1978. In 1972, he had his first major "hit" with Secuestro (Kidnapped) and followed that hit with Juntos de Nuevo (Together Again) in 1974 and Plante Bandera in 1975.
Olivencia's band was also known as the "Tommy Olivencia School", because the band produced some of the best and most talented singers and musicians of salsa in the island. Among those to have belonged to the band at one time or another were: Chamaco Ramirez, Sammy "El Rolo" González, Simon Perez, Paquito Guzman, Ubaldo "Lalo" Rodriguez, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Marvin Santiago, Frankie Ruiz, Hector Tricoche, Carlos Alexis, Hector "Pichie" Perez, Paquito "Junior" Acosta and Mel Martínez.

Lobo Domesticado
Tommy Olivencia Lyrics
Te han dicho de mi
Que soy como el río
Que llega y que besa
Que besa y se va
...
Te han dicho que soy
Frivolo y vacío
Que soy como el lobo
Que pasa y se va
...
Un lobo domesticado
...
Un loco enamorado
siempre quiero ser
Un lobo domesticado
...
Un loco enamorado
Tu mascota fiel
...
Te han dicho de mi
...
Una y tantas cosaa
Que tengas cuidado
Para no caer
Que es trampa mi amor
...
Y Al suelo MIS ROSAS
PERO ES TAN SENCILLO
LO QUE QUIERO HACER
UN LOBO DOMESTICADO
...
UN LOCO ENAMORADO
siempre quiero ser
...
UN LOBO DOMESTICADO
...
UN LOCO ENAMORADO
TU MASCOTA FIEL(UN LOBO DOMESTICADO UN LOCO ENAMORADO TU MASCOTA FIEL)
...
TE HAN DICHO DE MI
QUE SOY COMO EL RIO
TE HAN DICHO QUE SOY
FRIVOLO Y VACIO(UN LOBO DOMESTICADO UN LOCO ENAMORADO TU MASCOTA FIEL)
...
Y TU LOCO ENAMORADO
DE TI ES LO QUE QUIERO SER
ESTAR SIEMPRE YO A TU LADO
Y SER TU MASCOTA FIEL(UN LOBO DOMESTICADO UN LOCO ENAMORADO TU MASCOTA FIEL)
...
y no deje que rumores
y los cuento de la gente
Entren en tu corazón
Que es envidia lo que tienes
Creerme(UN LOBO DOMESTICADO UN LOCO ENAMORADO TU MASCOTA FIEL)
...
y que se muera de envidia
Pues lo que quieres la gente
mami es vernos separado
Pero este amor
Crece crece
...

me mata esta canción, tengo un recuerdo de hace 24 años vi llegar a mi papá de un chivo osea tocada trabajo el es músico trombonista, al llegar fuera de la casa había un grupito de borrachitos amanecidos, sonaba esa canción y le pidieron a mi papá q la toque... el les acolito sacó el trombón y la tocó y le salió increíble como siempre. lo q impacto fue q el siendo fuerte rompió en llanto xq estaba separado de mi mamá y lo quebró esa canción.. morí viendo llorar a mi papá y nunca pude olvidar ese momento... ellos están juntos se aman, pero lo cumbre es que él no recuerda lo q pasó ese día.
