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, Grover Washington, Jr., and Tony Pabon.
The group released one single, "I Like It" (sung originally by Pete Rodriguez), 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 No. 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-2000s.
