Siblings include Saned, Edwin, Ito, and José, who all have careers in salsa (one of his brothers was with Puerto Rican Power). In an interview with Maria Conchita Alonso (for "Al día con Maria Conchita"), Jerry talks about how sure his father was that he would succeed.
His parents, also musicians, inspired him to become a musician and as a child he would often accompany his mother Dominga, a singer, and father Edwin, a guitarist and director of Los Barones Trio, during their shows.
His favorite singers are Eddie Santiago, Lalo Rodriguez and, in particular, Frankie Ruiz. In 1986, when he was 13 years old, he accompanied his father who was performing at a hotel in Isla Verde, San Juan. Ruiz, who was a guest at the hotel, appeared and sang a couple of songs with them and had his picture taken alongside Rivera. In 2003 this picture was used by Rivera to make the album cover for his tribute Canto a mi Idolo... Frankie Ruiz ('I sing to my Idol... Frankie Ruiz'), who had died in 1998.
In 1988, Tommy Olivencia heard Rivera sing alongside his father and recommended that he sing solo. When Jerry was 14, his father made a demo and presented it to the CBS music department. They signed Rivera.
With his first album, Empezando A Vivir, Jerry Rivera earned the title "El Bebé de la Salsa" (the salsa baby). This project generated the hit, De La Cabeza A Los Pies (loosely translates to "From Head To Toes").
His second album, Abriendo Puertas ('Opening Doors'), produced the hit songs Esa Niña ('That Girl'), Dime ('Tell Me') and Como un Milagro ('Like a Miracle') became number one hits first in Puerto Rico, then among the Hispanic populations in the United States and finally across Latin America.
His third album, Cuenta Conmigo ('Count on Me'), won three Platinum Record awards in the United States, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Colombia. It became the most-sold salsa album in history, a record previously held by Willie Colon,[1] and held the number-one spot in the Latin American Billboards for three consecutive months. Its hit songs included the Cuenta Conmigo, Me Estoy Enamorado ('I am in Love') and Casi Un Hechizo. The number one hit for the album was Amores Como El Nuestro (Loves Like Ours) which is considered to be the best song by Rivera. Rivera was awarded two Premio Lo Nuestro Awards for "Singer of the Year" and "Album of the Year" and Sony Records presented him with three Crystal Awards.
The introduction of Amores Como El Nuestro was sampled by Haitian-rapper Wyclef Jean in his 2004 song "Dance Like This" from the soundtrack of Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights which would later become the worldwide number-one 2006 hit "Hips Don't Lie" by Colombian-singer Shakira and Wyclef, too.
In 1993, he released Cara de Niño ('Baby Face') with Que Hay De Malo ('That There of Bad') and Cara de Niño as hits.
In 1994, as his popularity was rising, he released his first compilation album, Lo Nuevo y lo Mejor (The New and the Best), and contained the single hit Me Estoy Enloqueciendo Por Ti.
In 1996, Rivera released "Fresco" and Una y Mil Veces (One Thousand and One Tries) became another hit for Rivera.
In 1999, Rivera recorded De Otra Manera ('Another Way'), which featured the bolero Ese. Jerry sang the song with his father at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan.
In 2000, Rivera recorded Para Siempre ('Forever'), and the hits were Amor de Novela, Navegándote, and Puerta Abierta. This was his album on Sony Latin records.
He has performed in Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras, Panama, the United States, Spain and Japan.
In 2001, he released his self-titled album Jerry Rivera, which would include ballad songs for the first time in his salsa career, and Quiero (I Want) would be the only hit. The year after, he recorded Vuela Muy Alto (She Flies High) which brought him a new fanbase all over Latin-America and the U.S., with the title track hit the top spot and the top 10 in many charts. The following year he released Cantando A Mi Idolo... Frankie Ruiz ('Singing To My Idol... Frankie Ruiz'), a tribute album to one of his idol Frankie Ruiz. The album ganer him a Latin Grammy nominatation and his hit was Ruiz's Mi Libertad featuring Voltio.
Rivera played a small role in the movie I Like It Like That and will appear as himself in a Latin American soap opera titled Mi destino eres tu ('You are my destiny') slated to air on Univision in the US during on November 2005. Rivera has also appeared in various Banco Popular de Puerto Rico productions, including Al Compas de un Sentimiento (dedicated to the late Puerto Rican composer Pedro Flores) and Con la musica por Dentro. Amores Como El Nuestro and Magia is another of his hit songs.

Llorare
Jerry Rivera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He vuelto a sonreir
He vuelto a respirar
No me preguntes por que no lo s
Acaso sobrevivi a tanto dolor
No, no volvera a ocurrir
No volvera a pasarme nada
Hasta que quiera yo
Y me perfumen sus palabras
Como un dia hiciste tu
Llorare, Morir, y volver a nacer de nuevo
Aunque alguien mas sera tu cielo
Reir, vivir, recordando cada beso
Que se quedo en mis labios preso
Llorare.
Ya estas en libertad pues tu querrias volar
Siempre lo hiciste
Aunque regresaras
No era yo quien te obligaba
Eras tu y nadie mas
Llorare, Morir, y volver a nacer de nuevo
Aunque alguien mas sera tu cielo
Reir, vivir, recordando cada beso
Reencarnando en tus caricias mi deseo
Llorare, Llorare.
(Llorare morir y vuelvo a renacer, llorare)
(Llorare, morire) Morir
(y vuelvo a renacer, llorare)
Acepto que me duele
Pero de amor nadie muere (llorare, morir)
Morir
(y vuelvo a renacer, llorare)
Pues tu querrias volar
Y ahora quieres regresar, que va
(Llorare) Llorare
(Morir) Morir
(y vuelvo a renacer, llorare)
Llorare pero sin ti vivir
I cry for you baby
(Llorare, llorare, llorare)
(Llorar por ti, por ti llorar)
No volvera a ocurrir, no
No volvera a pasar
(Llorare) Llorare
(Por ti) Por ti (Por ti llorare)
Espero que un dia me enamoren
Como un dia hiciste tu
Coro....
In Jerry Rivera's song "Llorare," the singer expresses the pain he feels after a breakup. He has started to smile and breathe normally again, but he is still hurting. He survived the pain, but he does not want to experience it again. He says that he will not let anyone hurt him until he is ready to let them in. He hopes that another woman will come and perfume him with her words, just like his ex once did. The singer knows that he will cry, die, and be reborn again. He will find somebody else to love, but his ex will always remain in his memories through the kisses they shared. He tells his ex that she is free to go and fly away, and though he would welcome her back, he won't force it. He accepts the pain he feels and acknowledges that nobody dies from love. He hopes that someday, he will find someone who will love him just as his ex once did
