In 1974, he recorded his second LP entitled "Terrífica" and in 1975 "The days of my life". In 1976 also records the album "Sabor a Pueblo" With these discs it releases three singers who soon would become important exponents of the sauce. One of them, Pichie Perez, who at 16 and being a student of Joe Rodriguez himself sings several important numbers and the other Yolanda Rivera, who stands out in the number "Guaguancó # 3". Also debut in the sauce Mannix Martinez who masterfully interprets the boleros and the sauces.
During the decade of the 70, Joe Rodriguez managed to create a distinctive sound with his orchestra, that reached great popularity. To the degree that it was the orchestra chosen by Fania to accompany Pete 'Conde' Rodriguez and Ismael Miranda. He also came to accompany Meñique and Justo Betancourt among others. However, it was in 1980 when La Terrífica recorded its greatest success: Poor House, Big House. This number was positioned in the first places of the salsa quickly in Puerto Rico as well as in South America, Mexico and the United States and took to Joe Rodriguez to the international scope.
This was followed by successes such as "Hinca la mare", "Everywhere" and "Flavor Ritmo y Coro". Arranged by Isidro Infante, José Febles and accompanied by other trumpeters such as Juancito Torres and Elias Lopez. Joe Rodriguez also recruited other sonos that soon would reach the fame such as Héctor Tricoche, Luisito Carrión and Wito Columbus.
At the end of the 90's Joe Rodriguez becomes Jehovah's Witness and leaves the music to dedicate himself to his work as a teacher and to evangelize from house to house.
In 2014, he returns to lead the Orchestra Abran Paso on National Salsa Day to remember La Terrífica, where the event is unexpectedly dedicated.
No doubt, he was a master of salsa and his legacy still persists

Déjame saciar tu sed con mi ternura
Yo quiero llegar donde nadie ha llegado
Yo quiero cruzar tu frontera
Y luego escalar los simientos
De tu alma entera
Déjame hacerte olvidar todas tus penas
Déjame hacerte sentir como una reina
Y trotar el universo
Y nos sorprenda la noche sin rumbo ni tiempo
Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío
Y trotar el universo
Y nos sorprenda la noche y nos sorprenda
La noche y nos sorprenda la noche
Sin rumbo ni tiempo
(Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío y trotar el universo)
(Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío y trotar el universo)
Yo quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío
Y hacerte el amor oye cariño
(Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío y trotar
El universo)
Y en mis brazos tu cuerpo tendido
Navergarlo sin rumbo fijo
(Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío y trotar el universo)
Porque amor contigo es que soy feliz
Tu lo eres todo en mi vida
(Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío y trotar el universo)
Oye nena, es que tu estas ¡terrifica!
(Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío y trotar el universo)
Quiero llegar donde nadie ha llegado
Quiero ser tu enamorado
(Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío y trotar el universo)
Déjame hacerte sentir, vibrar, amar,
Hacerte feliz
(Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío y trotar el universo)
Y nos sorprenda la noche corazón
Amándonos sin rumbo fijo
(Quiero juntar tu cuerpo y el mío y trotar el universo)

The lyrics portray the singer's eagerness to connect with the object of their affection, expressing a desire to touch their lips, quench their thirst with tenderness and to forget about their worries. They want to go further than anyone has gone before, to cross the borders of the other person's heart and soul, and to explore the depths of their being. The singer wants to make the other person feel like a queen, to join their bodies and transcend time and space.
The desire is for an intense and all-encompassing love, where they can travel together through the universe with reckless abandon.
