Pete Rodriguez was born in Bronx, New York in 1932. He was the leader and pianist of a Puerto Rican Boogaloo band from The Bronx in the mid-1960s, sometimes known as Pete Rodríguez y Su Conjunto.[2]

The band's most successful song, "I Like It Like That", made it to the national Billboard charts and has since been covered several times including by the Blackout All-Stars.[3] It was re-recorded by lead singer and composer Tony Pabón for the soundtrack of the 1994 movie I Like It Like That and received renewed exposure as the soundtrack to the main ident at Odeon Cinemas from 1998–2003.[4]
