In honor of the Mexican singers passing, we have made a list of Juan Gabriel’s best songs. In a sea of extraordinary songs, it’s hard to decide on one (yet alone five) of his best hits.
JuanGa passed away on August 28 at the age of 66 of a heart attack. He leaves behind a family, a loyal fan base, and a 45 year music career that we can look back on.
A true rags to riches story for Gabriel and one of the best singers in music history. Took a look at these essential songs from “el divos” career!
5. Hasta Que Te Conocí
“Haste Que Te Conocí” is a perfect example of Gabriel’s range and emotion. A tale of discovering sadness for the first time, it’s hard not to hold back your emotions but JuanGa makes it easy for us to go through it all.
4. Pero Que Necesidad
“El divos” songs are a mix of sadness and happiness, “Pero Que Necesidad” is about over coming that sadness. Why all the trouble, if it’s better to simply love?
3. No Tengo Dinero
At a young age, Gabriel would sell tortillas on the streets of Mexico. While selling he would hum and sing song lyrics that would come to his head. “No Tengo Dinero” is a good companion piece to his beginning when he was poor trying to make the most of his life.
2. Querida
“Querida” came from Gabriel’s 1984 release Recuerdos Vol. II. The album remains Mexico’s bestselling album in history with 8 million copies. This ballad is an essential song in his career, but it doesn’t beat this next song…
1. Abrazame Muy Fuerte
“Abrazame Muy Fuerte” is the most popular song in the singers catalog, and rightfully so. It’s a emotionally powerful song that put JuanGa in the Bilboard charts at No. 1 in the Hot Latin Song Chart for nine weeks!
