Eduardo (Eddie) Palmieri has received numerous accolades throughout his career. Among others, he has won a total of nine Grammy Awards.  He became the first Latin musician to ever win a Grammy for his album The Sun of Latin Music in 1974. His next wins were in 1977 with Unfinished Masterpiece, and in the 80s for the three albums that he made in Puerto Rico. He won two more for his collaboration with Tito Puente.

Why “Unfinished” The late-'70s Unfinished Masterpiece caused a huge quarrel because he couldn't or wouldn't get it done to his own satisfaction (Coco and the label owner ex Fania Harvey Averne finally put it out anyway, thus the title). Unfinished or no, it's classic Palmieri from his late Golden Age and long unavailable.
