a little about him.
José José (born José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz on February 17, 1948 in Mexico City, Mexico), also known in the entertainment world as "El Príncipe de la Canción" ("The Prince of the Song") is a popular Mexican singer best known for his romantic ballads and renowned for his gifted vocals. Regarded as one of the most talented singers of Latin American popular music, recognizable by his pure vocal tone and his ability to sustain high and low notes
José José has sold over 50 million albums worldwide, his best-selling album Secretos has sold over 10 million units to date. Due to his vocals, his career in Latin music and the high popularity he achieved, he is considered by the media, the press and the people as one of the most important Latin singers from the 1970s to the early 1990s
José was born into a family of musicians: his father, José Sosa Esquivel, was an operatic tenor and his mother, Margarita Ortiz, was a classical pianist. They never achieved relative large success, and when José began to show interest in singing, they tried to discourage him, claiming that it was too difficult to achieve success in show business. His father was an alcoholic who didn't accept anything in his house but opera and classical music. In 1963, when he was fifteen years old, his father left the house, forcing him to work and help his mother and younger brother. He learned advanced singing techniques and started playing guitar, bass and piano.
José continued his attempts to become a singer, by his teens, he had launched his own career with serenades. Then he started singing and playing the bass and double bass with a bossa nova jazz band called "Los Peg". His main influences among others were The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and Johnny Mathis. They played most of the time in night clubs and jazz festivals. He signed a small contract of two singles, releasing the songs "El mundo" (Jimmy Fontana's "Il Mondo") and "Ma Vie" without success. He returned to serenades and to play with his band in night clubs.
In the 1990s, began a deterioration on his voice, it worsened over time and became evident specially in his live performances. His excessive drinking and the incessant activity during his career, caused his voice to falter and could no longer sing as he could before. During those days, José suffered the worst stage of alcoholism in his career; he was living in a car and declared that he wanted to die drinking, but again, with the help of his friends, family, the journalist and personal friend Ricardo Rocha and other artists, he decided to rehabilitate.
José José is considered one of the most talented Latin American singers of the past forty years and also a huge influence to pop artists like: Cristian Castro,Vicente Fernández,Alejandro Fernández,Nelson Ned, Pepe Aguilar, Manuel Mijares.
