Alberto Aguilera Valadez (Spanish pronunciation: [alˈβeɾto aɣiˈleɾa βalaˈðes]; 7 January 1950 – 28 August 2016),[1] known professionally as Juan Gabriel (pronounced [ˈxwaŋ ɡaˈβɾjel] ), was a Mexican singer, songwriter and actor.[1][2] Colloquially nicknamed Juanga[3] (pronounced [ˈxwaŋɡa]) and El Divo de Juárez, Juan Gabriel was known for his flamboyant style, which broke norms and standards within the Latin music industry.[4][5] Widely regarded as one of the best and most prolific Mexican composers and singers of all time, he is regarded as a pop icon.[6]

Having sold an estimated of 40 million records worldwide, Juan Gabriel is among Latin America's best selling music artists.[7] His nineteenth studio album, Recuerdos, Vol. II, is reportedly the best-selling album of all time in Mexico, with over eight million copies sold.[8] During his career, Juan Gabriel wrote around 1,800 songs.[5]

Amongst his most popular and signature songs are: "Amor eterno", "Querida", "Yo no nací para amar", "Hasta que te conocí", "El Noa Noa", "No tengo dinero", "Abrázame muy fuerte", "Así Fue", "Te lo pido por favor", "En esta primavera", "Pero qué necesidad", "La Farsante", "Te sigo amando", "Con Todo y Mi Tristeza", "Siempre en mi mente", "De mí enamórate" and "Lo pasado, pasado", as well as perhaps his most acclaimed song, "Se me olvidó otra vez", among others; all of them, performed by him and other artists.[9]
