In the 70s he formed a dance band, variously known as Los Virtuosos and El Tribu, which included his son Ramón Orlando Valoy (who would become well-known in the 80s as bandleader Ramón Orlando) on piano. Valoy's music at this point was big-band son, what was now being called salsa. His hits in this genre include "Juliana" and "Nació Varón." He increasingly included into his repertoire merengue, the Dominican national music that was becoming internationally successful.
In 1997 producer Sergio George recorded a version of Valoy's "Juliana" with DLG, featuring a guest spot for Valoy's distinctive voice. The song was a major Latin hit and paved the way for a mini-renaissance of Valoy's music with a new generation. Now in his 70s, he appears frequently in the New York area, his charm and talent intact

VUELVE
Cuco Valoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En mis ojos lágrimas de amor,
Se marchó la preferida
La que le entregué todo mi amor.
He tratado de olvidarla
He bebido hasta emborracharme
Y al quemarse mi garganta
Vuelve a tu negro, querida
Vuelve que por ti yo estoy llorando
Yo me quitaré la vida
Si tu amor, me dejas esperando.
Vuelve, te necesito amor
Vuelve, que aquí te esperare
Vuelve, mi alma entera te doy
Vuelve, si vuelves otra ves
Vuelve, y así poder besar
Vuelve, tu delicada piel.
Vuelve, hay no consigo estar
Vuelve, un minuto sin ti
Vuelve, la vida sin tu amor
Vuelve, no parece existir
Vuelve, una por que te quiero
Vuelve, no soy nada sin ti.
Vuelve, y juntos recordar
Vuelve, toda aquella pasión
Vuelve, que no aguanto el calmar
Vuelve, disfrutamos los dos.
In Cuco Valoy's classic salsa song "Vuelve," he painfully sings of a lost love that has left him with a deep wound in his chest and tears of love in his eyes. The lyrics express the depth of his love for this woman who was his favorite and to whom he had given all his love. Despite his attempts to forget her through excessive drinking, he finds himself unable to escape the memory of her face in every drink he consumes.
As he sings "Vuelve a tu negro, querida" (Come back to your black lover, darling), he pleads with her to return to him, admitting that he cannot stop crying for her. He even goes as far as to say that he would take his own life if she doesn't come back to him. He professes his need for her love and promises to give her his entire soul if she comes back to him. He ends by calling her delicately to come back to him so that they can together remember the passionate love they once shared and enjoy each other's company once again.
