Ralfi Pagán (1947–1978) was a Bronx, New York-based Latin soul and salsa singer of Puerto Rican parentage who was active from the mid-1960s until his untimely death in 1978. He specialized in soul ballads sung both in Spanish and English and released five albums during the 1970s. He is well known for the duet with Sylvia Robinson entitled Soul Je T'aime and for his solo reworking of Make It With You previously recorded by David Gates and Bread. In 1978, he was mysteriously murdered while on a promotional tour in Colombia, South America, a tragedy which remains unsolved to this day.
