Few non-Hispanics or Mexicans have ever heard of this guy. Yet, he had a massive fan base and He holds the record for most albums peaking at number one on the Top Latin Albums chart in a short period time. He sold over 100 million copies and was also a musician and composer. Born of poor farmers, he was put in a boarding school and ended up working in bars in Juarez. Openly gay, he had a son by in vitro and adopted 3 more. He performed 12 charity events per year and founded an orphanage for kids 6 to 12.
