Javier Solís was born Gabriel Siria Levario.[2] Being of humble origins, Siria had to drop out of school during his teens to support his family. In his spare time, he trained as an amateur boxer, with aspirations of going professional, but after suffering a few defeats, he was prevailed upon to work at something 'more decent'.
Siria began singing in competitions, in which the winner would be awarded a new pair of shoes; he was eventually banned from participating because he dominated the competition. At that time he was working as a butcher, and sang while he worked. His boss heard him and was so impressed with his talent that he urged Siria to dedicate himself to his music and recommended him to a voice coach. To his family's relief, he hung up his boxing gloves and began a singing career.
[edit] Singing break
At age 16, Siria went to Puebla to sing with the Mariachi Metepec, but he didn't get his first professional break until two years later, when Julito Rodriguez and Alfredo Gil of the famous singing trio, 'Los Panchos', discovered him, and took him to audition at CBS Records. There, in 1950, he signed a contract and recorded his first album. His first hit, Lloraras, came two years later, and it was his then-producer Felipe Valdes Leal that gave Siria his stage name, Javier Solís.
Solís began to receive international acclaim in 1957, when he began appearing in the U.S., Central and South America. He was among the first to sing in the new style now known as 'Bolero-Ranchera'. He sang boleros typically associated with trio music, but now were accompanied by mariachis. Solís was a versatile interpreter; he sang not just boleros, but rancheras, the danzón, waltzes and even tangos such as En Esta Tarde Gris(In This Grey Afternoon).
[edit] Acting career
Solís began his acting career in 1959, and appeared in more than 20 films, working with such artists as Pedro Armendáriz, María Victoria, Antonio Aguilar and Lola Beltrán. His last picture, Juan Pistolas, was finished in 1965. During his lifetime, he was considered a better singer than actor by his public, who rated him alongside such accomplished artists as Jorge Negrete, Aguilar and Pedro Infante.
[edit] Final Years
Great things were expected from him after the death of Pedro Infante in an air accident in the late 1950's. Alas, he died young. Solís passed at age 33, a victim of complications from gall bladder surgery. At that time, his doctors had refused him water, and his last words concerned his family and his terrible thirst, "They will have to shower my grave with lots of water. I know that I'm going to die; there is no cure"
Javier Solís was a prolific artist and left an extensive discography. Most of his albums are still in print, allowing the listener to enjoy a voice like no other.

Javier Solis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
como quiero yo
Poco a poco
me voy acercando a ti
poco a poco
la distancia se va haciendo menos
yo no sé si tú vives pensando en mí
Qué bonito es querer
como quiero yo
qué bonito
entregarse todito completo
yo no sé ni pregunto cómo es tu amor
porque a ti como a mí no nos cabe en el cuerpo
No me digas que no sufriste
que no extrañaste todos mis besos
no me digas que no lloraste
algunas noches que estuve lejos
Poco a poco
me voy acercando a ti
poco a poco
se me llenan los ojos de llanto
qué bonito es llorar cuando lloro así
por tu amor, junto a ti y adorándote tanto.
The lyrics of Javier Solis's song "Poco A Poco" talk about the beauty of love, the desire to be with the person you love, and how love can overcome distance and time.

These sentiments are reinforced by the chorus, which emphasizes that even though they might not have always been physically close, little by little they have been able to approach each other.
The lyrics are also filled with emotion, as the singer talks about missing each other when they are apart, the pain of separation, and how crying for the one you love can be beautiful. Through these lyrics, the singer captures the intensity of emotions that come with being in love, and the power of these emotions to bring two people closer together.
Overall, "Poco A Poco" is a song about the beauty of love, the intense emotions that come with it, and the way that love can bring people closer together even when they are far apart.
