Donât remember Taco? We can understand if youâve forgotten his name. But weâre certain you remember his hit âPuttinâ on the Ritzâ from 1983. Itâs his nod to the Irving Berlin-penned hit Fred Astaire first made famous in the 1930 musical also named Puttinâ on the Ritz. Even though the song was released in the 1980s â an era where screeching guitar solos were as common as big hair and spandex clothing â Taco went with an understated tap-dance solo.
