Javier Solís (September 1, 1931, Mexico City, Mexico[1] April 19, 1966, Mexico City, Mexico) was a popular Mexican singer of boleros and rancheras, and film actor of the middle 20th century.

Born Gabriel Siria Levario, Javier Solis became known as one of the most recognized Mariachi solo artists in Mexico. Coming from humble beginnings, at a young age Solis had to drop out of school to help support his family. He trained as an amateur boxer for six years with aspirations of turning professional, but quit after his father urged him to choose a more "decent" career. The young man used to sing in local competitions for small prizes (such as a pair of new shoes), but was eventually banned from participating because he so dominated the competition.

At age 16, Solis went to Puebla, Mexico to sing with Mariachi Metepec, but it wasn't until years later when Julito Rodriguez and Alfredo Gil of the trio Los Panchos heard him singing at a local bar that he got his first break as a recording artist. They took him to audition with CBS records where he signed a recording contract and cut his first album in 1950. His first hit, "Lloraras," came two years later and prompted his producer Felipe Valdes Leal to give him the name Javier Solis. The vocalist came to international acclaim in 1957, making appearances in the United States, Central, and South America. Solis was the first to sing songs in a style now known as "Boleros-Rancheras." He sang boleros typically associated with trio music but now accompanied by mariachis, also adding waltzes and tangos to his repertoire as a prolific interpreter of many styles of music.

Not content with simply performing as a recording artist, Solis began his acting career in 1959; filming more than 20 movies with stars such as Maria Victoria, Lola Beltran, and Luis Aguilar. Javier Solis died in 1966 at age 33 from complications resulting from gall bladder surgery, leaving behind a brief but memorable musical legacy. ~ Zac Johnson, All Music Guide

  • @51gateway ok aprecia la musica y no discutas quien fue mejor,los 2 tenian grandes voces y eso es lo q cuenta

  • @jaac48 mmmmmm pues hai muy buenas voces ahora busca a arturo vargas y veras o a izmael hernandez muy buenas boces la verdad telos recomiendo saludos

  • @SingerMexican tienes toda la razon apoyo tu conosimiento pedro era el mejor en todos aspectos

  • @MrFelizola Tienes razon, dicen que Pedro no tenia gran voz y puede ser cierto pero la realidad es que Pedro supero a todos en talento, Javier era excelente en Bolero Ranchero, Jorge en Ranchero Bravio pero Pedro era extraordinariamente bueno en todos los estilos que interpreto, Pedro fue un interprete mas completo que Javier y que cualquier otro, hubo otros con mejor voz pero no siempre es mejor cantante el que tiene mejor voz y Pedro como interprete fue mejor que ninguno

  • @jaac48 De acuerdo contigo, aunque no siempre quien tiene mejor voz es mejor cantante y ese es el caso de Pedro que nunca tuvo una gran voz, sin embargo logro ser el mejor cantante

  • @eljavierista Pedro como cantante fue extraordinario ¡EN TODO!, Javier Solis tambien fue extraordinario pero solo en el Bolero Ranchero y he ahi la gran diferencia del porque Pedro Infante como interprete fue mejor que Javier Solis
