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 Pabón.

The group released one single, "I Like It" (co-written by Tony Pabón and recorded originally by Pete Rodriguez with Pabón on lead vocals), originally recorded and included in the soundtrack for the 1994 film I Like It Like That.
