Frankie Morales is an artist who has perfected his craft with every stop along the way of his career. This talented vocalist has sharpened and shaped his sound for most of his life, starting on the streets of "El Barrio", New York City's Spanish Quarter and climaxing now-on the stages of the world. His mom sent him to Boys Harbor Conservatory in East Harlem to study voice and percussion after she realized the raw power and talent that her son displayed singing his "Salsa Concerts", those first performances for the family at home that give birth to, and nurture the entertainers of the future.

At the age of fourteen, he sang backup for Latin legend, Joe Bataan. By fifteen he was singing with Hector Lavoe, and this opened many doors. Over the next few years, he would sing backup and coros for artists such as Ismael Rivera, Ismael Miranda, Celia Cruz, Pellin Rodriguez, and Cheo Feliciano. "I learned a lot during this time... inspirations, how to always sound your best, even when your voice may not be at its' best".

Meeting Jos? Pintor, who also played with Joe Bataan, gave Frankie the opportunity to record his first album, Sabor del Barrio". Soon after, he started recording hits with the group Bad Street Boys. This was an association that would continue for almost ten years.

There was still room to grow for Mr. Morales. Growth comes to a Salsero through "work, work and more work". So when the Lebron Brothers needed someone to record in place of a sick vocalist, it was Frankie who did the recording. Caiman Records then produced two albums featuring him as a solo artist, entitled Frankie Morales: En su Punto, and Standing Out. These two albums exposed Frank to great audiences, and enhanced both his experience and reputation. This would lead to him being an invited independent vocalist with The Fania All-Stars.

Frank spent a year singing back-up for Tito Nieves. The notoriety he gained singing for Tito Nieves also bought opportunity as well. With a recommendation from Ralph Mercado, Frankie was offered the job of lead singer for the orchestra of "El Rey del Timbal", Ernest "Tito" Puente. This "gig" would not only be the ultimate training but also the ultimate feature for Frankie Morales, as he traveled around the world with Maestro Puente, singing for people of all cultures. Even now after "El Rey" passing, Frankie holds the position of lead vocalist with the Tito Puente Orchestra.

1998 was a real "indicator" as to how much Frankie Morales had grown as an artist. That same year, he was featured vocalist on Caiman Records ACE Award winning recording Son Boricua. Led by musical director Maestro Jos? Mangual Jr. and producer Humberto Corredor, this production gave Frankie a platform to show his versatility. As he tore into the world of Latin Jazz, Frankie was a featured lead vocalist on the "Caiman All-Stars".

Frank next recorded Dance mania '99 Live at Birldland with Puente's Orchestra. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award.

Some of Frankie's "finest hours" had to be the recordings of Tito Puente Mambo Birdland" and Masterpiece, Puente's final album and collaboration with "The Great Eddie Palmieri, which both won Grammy Awards.
