Miami Sound Machine and Estefan were at their commercial peak when a semi-truck slammed into the back of their stopped tour bus on March 20, 1990. Estefan's back was so severely broken that her surgery required 400 stitches, and two titanium rods were placed along both sides of her spine. The setback inspired a new direction for Estefan and Miami Sound Machine. After a year-long hiatus, the group returned to the stage with a renewed enthusiasm for traditional Latin music. Their comeback album, Mi Tierra, featuring original tunes based on Cuban music of the '30s, '40s, and '50s, received a Grammy award as "best tropical Latin album of 1993." Its success was followed by the Grammy-winning album, Abriendo Puertas, two years later. The personnel of Miami Sound Machine shifted considerably during their time together; Murciano left in 1982 and original guitarist Wesley B. Wright and bassist Juan Marcos Avila left three years later. Estefan Jr. retired from active performing and serves as the group's manager, producer, and songwriter.

Falling In Love
Miami Sound Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel like another crook that's been captured by your stare
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, and I don't want to no, no, no
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling, falling
Jealous feelings, reappearing, such a wicked dare
I'm just so damned confused and I wonder, do you care?
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, and I don't want to no, no, no
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling, falling
Like walking in the park
Or dancing in the dark
Just want to hold you through out the night
Prince of fire, sweet desire, with devil may you care
Release me from your spell
I don't want this, love ain't fair
I'm falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Falling in love
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling, falling
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again Uh-oh, uh-oh, and I don't want to no, no, no
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling, falling

As a 55 yr old guy, this song takes me back to a time and place, only folks around my own age would understand - 80s, I miss those days...
@vannjunkin8041
Right With you Fran!! Golden passage of time the 80s were..
@issues9828
The culture was so much more creative back then. People took risks, and BOLD risks, whether that was career risks, shooting to get into a great college, going after that hot girl who seemed unattainable. And the risks paid off --- so often people succeeded with these bold risks.
I've also noticed that in music the artists collaborated so much more. You saw individual artists partnering more --- Bowie and Queen, Mick Jagger producing for Peter Wolf, Stevie Nicks doing duets, Rod Stewart and Ronald Isley. Live Aid, Do They Know It's Christmastime. Mick Jagger and David Bowie.
It was so dynamic.

I was just a kid but I remember those days like it was yesterday.. Punk rockers, Mohawks, cassette tapes, malls were the hangout spot , the cars 🚗, Madonna was my Mom’s favorite person, Shows like Fraggel Rock and we always ate at blimpies
@UPBEATFOREVER
I like duets back then. George Michael and Aretha Franklin- I Knew You Were Waiting /a couple duets of Michael Jackson and Sir Paul McCartney- Say,Say,Say! and The Dog Gone Girl is mine. / Ooooh....last but not least Eddie Money ft. Ronnie Spector-Take Me Home Tonight
