A Touch of Tabasco is a 1959 studio album released by RCA Victor featuring the American jazz singer Rosemary Clooney and the Cuban band leader Pérez Prado.. This was the only album that Clooney and Prado recorded together; the album was promoted with free bottles of Tabasco sauce.
The band's name was taken from the title of a 1956 album by Pérez Prado. Havana 3am's music incorporated elements of rockabilly, Latin and reggae influences. The band eventually signed a worldwide record deal with I.R.S. Records, then travelled to Japan to record with audio engineer Masahiko Yamazaki at a studio in Tokyo.
