Bronx-born salsa legend Willie Colon was laid to rest today. The cover image for his 1972 album Crime Pays was shot in Maspeth outside the N&N Service Station on Fresh Pond Road with a car borrowed from a friend of the station's owner. You can see the FPR sign on the left side of the photo. RIP, Willie.
