Pete Rodríguez y Su Conjunto publican el álbum que definitivamente lo llevaría al éxito musical en la ciudad de Nueva York, el cual se llamó: “I Like It Like That (A Mí Me Gusta Así)”, grabación realizada para Alegre Records.
• Los temas de este álbum fueron, casi en su totalidad verdaderos éxitos como: “Soy el Rey”, “I Like It Like That”, “Si quieres bailar”, “Hueso”, el número “3 and 1” que era una discoteca de propiedad del dominicano Raphy Mercado, promotor musical, y “Micaela”, con su famosa introducción en inglés vocalizada por Tony Pabón, temas muy recordados por los fanáticos del Boogaloo en todo el mundo.
