提起Santa Esmeralda,相信大部份在七十年代喜愛的士高歌曲的本地樂迷,都對他們於當年灌唱的暢銷歌曲"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"、"You're My Everything”、 "The House Of The Rising Sun"、"Another Cha-Cha"等已很耳熟能詳,但卻可能忽略了樂隊主要成員Leroy Gomez在1978年自行監製的個人大碟《Leroy Gomez - Gypsy Woman》。
這張《Leroy Gomez - Gypsy Woman》大碟內的歌曲風格及編排,基本上和Santa Esmeralda首張推出的大碟《Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood》很類似。那就是把一些舊歌重新編成重重的Disco節拍,及配上了一首柔和的慢板曲於唱片內,例子如"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"可匹配"Gypsy Woman"、"Gloria"可匹配"Spanish Harlem"、"You're My Everything"可匹配"Let Me Change Your Mind"等。而在記憶中,"Gypsy Woman"及"Spanish Harlem"當年在本地的士高之受歡迎程度,與"Don't Let Me Misunderstood"是不徨多讓的。《Leroy Gomez - Gypsy Woman》唱片曲目如下:
Leroy Gomez - Gypsy Woman (Casablanca NBLP 7110)
Side One- Medley : Gypsy Woman + Gypsy Love
- Let Me Change Your Mind
Side Two
- Spanish Harlem
- Mama Told Me
- Foolin' You
在Santa Esmeralda Starring Leroy Gomez的官方網頁上,《Leroy Gomez - Gypsy Woman》是有被放列於CD欄位的內頁: http://www.santaesmeralda.net/cd6b.htm ,並附有全部歌曲的試聽版,但在本地市面的各大CD連鎖店或全球網上的專賣店,卻從末看過有這CD出售。
