The Blackout All-Stars was a one-off 1994 Latin supergroup consisting of Ray Barretto, Sheila E., Tito Puente, Tito Nieves, Paquito D'Rivera, Dave Valentin, and Grover Washington, Jr.
The group released one single, "I Like It", originally recorded and included in the soundtrack for the 1994 film I Like It Like That. The song's popularity was later renewed due to its inclusion in a Burger King commercial in 1996 and peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 the following year.
It has since been used widely in popular culture. One noted place that it was used was in a Dutch Boy paint commercial in the early to mid 2000's.
