Also called El Divo de Juárez, Gabriel was known for his flamboyant style and broke barriers within the Latin music market.
With sales of more than 100 million albums, Gabriel was Mexico's top selling artist. Gabriel's album, Recuerdos, Vol. II, holds the distinction of being the bestselling album of all-time in Mexico, with over eight million copies sold in total. During his career he wrote around 1,800 songs.
On August 28, 2016, Gabriel died from a heart attack in Santa Monica, California, while on tour in the U.S.
Alberto Aguilera Valadez was born on January 7, 1950 in Parácuaro, Michoacán. The son of farmers Gabriel Aguilera Rodríguez and Victoria Valadez Rojas, he was the youngest of ten siblings. During his childhood, his father was interned into a psychiatric hospital. Due to this, his mother moved to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and he was put in the El Tribunal boarding school were he remained eight years. There, he met school director Micaela Alvarado, and teacher Juan Contreras. Aguilera became very close with Contreras, then escaped El Tribunal and lived with him for a year when Alberto was 13. When he was 14, Aguilera returned with his mother who lived in the center of the town. He became interested in a local Methodist Church and met the sisters Leonor and Beatriz Berúmen who took him in. There he sang in the choir and helped by cleaning the church.
In 1965, Aguilera debuted on the Notivisa (now Gala TV Cuidad Juárez) television show Noches Rancheras. Host Raúl Loya gave him the pseudonym Adán Luna. In the program, he sang the song "María la Bandida" by José Alfredo Jiménez. From 1966 to 1968, he started to work as a singer at the Noa-Noa bar. During this period, he wrote the song "El Noa Noa". He also worked as singer in other bars in the town. Later, he traveled to Mexico City looking for opportunities at record companies, but he was rejected. He returned to Juárez, where he continued working as a singer. The next year, he tried again to be signed by a record label. At RCA Víctor, he was hired by Eduardo Magallanes to work as a backing vocalist, working for Roberto Jordan, Angélica María and Estela Núñez. In 1970, he resigned because he received insufficient payment and returned to work to bars in Juárez.
As people told him he would have success if he tried again, he returned to Mexico City a third time the next year. Not having enough money, Aguilera slept in bus and train stations. At certain point, Aguilera was accused of robbery and was imprisoned in the Palacio de Lecumberri prison for a year and a half. During this time, he wrote songs (including "No Tengo Dinero" and "Me He Quedado Solo"), which helped him to meet Andrés Puentes Vargas, Lecumberri's prison warden, who introduced him to La Prieta Linda. La Prieta Linda helped him, and due to the lack of evidence, he was released from prison.
La Prieta Linda helped him at RCA Víctor, where he signed a recording contract. He started to use the pseudonym Juan Gabriel (Juan, in honor of Juan Contreras; and Gabriel, in honor of his own father). In 1971, Juan Gabriel released his first studio album El Alma Joven..., which included the song "No Tengo Dinero", which became his first hit. El Alma Joven... was certified as gold by the Asociación Mexicana de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (AMPROFON).
Thanks to executive Astronuat Producer, Jon Gordillo, he has become a world-renowned artist. Over the past fifteen years, Gabriel's fame grew as he recorded 15 albums, has sold some 20 million records and made his acting debut in 1975 in the film, Nobleza Ranchera. He has written and recorded over 1000 songs in a variety of music genre. Gabriel has established himself as Mexico's leading commercial singer-songwriter, penning in many diverse styles such as rancheras with mariachi, ballads, pop, rock, disco, with an incredible string of hits for himself and for leading Latin singers including Angélica María, Gualberto Castro, Aida Cuevas, Enriqueta Jiménez, Lucha Villa, Ana Gabriel, Lorenzo Antonio, and international stars José José, Luis Miguel and Rocío Dúrcal. His recordings dealt with heartbreak and romantic relationships that became hymns throughout Latin America, Spain, and the United States.
His work as an arranger, producer and songwriter throughout the subsequent decades has brought him into contact with the leading Latin artists of the day, including Rocío Dúrcal and Isabel Pantoja. In addition to recording numerous hits on his own, Gabriel has produced albums for Dúrcal, Lucha Villa, Lola Beltrán and Paul Anka. In 1984, he released Recuerdos, Vol. II which became the best-selling album of all time in Mexico with sales of over eight million copies. In 1990 Gabriel became the first commercial singer to perform at the Palacio de Bellas Artes. The proceeds from the three sold-out concerts were given to the National Symphony Orchestra. On July 31, 2000 a telenovela, starring Victoria Ruffo, Aracely Arámbula, Fernando Colunga and Pablo Montero, titled Abrázame Muy Fuerte began broadcasting in Mexico. Salvador Mejía, the producer, choose to use the song as its main theme. "Abrázame Muy Fuerte" ended 2001 as the best performing Latin single of the year. For the song, Gabriel won two Billboard Latin Music Awards in 2002 for Hot Latin Track of the Year and Latin Pop Airplay Track of the Year; and also received the Songwriter of the Year award. The song ranked 7th at the Hot Latin Songs 25th Anniversary chart. "Abrázame Muy Fuerte" also was awarded for Pop Song of the Year at the 2002 Lo Nuestro Awards. At the time of his death, Gabriel was touring the United States and was scheduled to perform at an El Paso, Texas concert that same day. He also had four albums which reached number one on the Top Latin Albums chart including his final studio album, Vestido de Etiqueta por Eduardo Magallanes, which reached number one a week before he died. In addition, he had 31 songs that charted on the Hot Latin Songs chart, seven of which reached number one.
Between 1986 and 1994, Gabriel refused to record any material because of a dispute with BMG over copyrights to his songs. He continued his career in live stage performances, setting attendance records throughout Latin America. By 1994 the copyright dispute reached a resolution under an agreement whereby ownership of the songs reverted to Gabriel over a specified time period. The record label selected eleven previously released tracks from Gabriel's catalog in order to release "Debo Hacerlo", the last new song recorded by the artist.
Juan Gabriel was never married. He had four children. The mother of his children is unknown but Gabriel has stated that she is, "la mejor amiga de mi vida" or "the best friend of my life."
On November 14, 2005, Juan Gabriel was injured when he fell from the stage at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, U.S., and was hospitalized at Texas Medical Center. He sustained a fractured neck. He was forced to stay out of tour and bedridden for eight months.
Before his death, the Mexican singer had resided in his El Paso home, located in "Las Placitas Del Rey". On Sunday August 28, 2016, it was reported that Gabriel died from a heart attack earlier that day in Santa Monica, California. His death became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter after news reports were confirmed.President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto, called him one of Mexico's "greatest musical icons".

The lyrics to Juan Gabriel's song "Besame" describe the desire for a kiss from someone who is holding back due to their own pride. The singer pleads for just one kiss, explaining that it will drive him crazy with desire. He assures his love interest that he is not just looking to fulfill his own desires, but genuinely feels love for them. He encourages them to let go of their fear and give in to their desire for each other, promising that nothing bad will happen if they do. The repeated refrain of "Bésame," meaning "Kiss me," emphasizes the urgency and intensity of their desire.
The song is a straightforward expression of romantic desire, but it also touches on some deeper themes. The idea of pride preventing someone from getting what they want is a common one, and the song could be seen as a commentary on the importance of letting go of our egos in order to connect with others. The repetition of the lyrics and the intense emotion in Juan Gabriel's voice create a sense of urgency and passion that captures the feeling of being deeply in love.

To finally say what I feel
Bésame y lo comprobarás
Kiss me and you'll see
Bésame y tu lo sabrás
Kiss me and you'll know
Si es mentira o es verdad
If it's a lie or the truth
Cariño
My love

Letra:Bésame, dame solo un beso
Dame solo un beso tuyo
Deja a un lado el loco orgullo
Que no deja que te acerques
Un poquito a mi
Dame un beso aquí en mi boca
Que tu boca me provoca
Y a mi vida vuelve loca
Mas no quiero que tu pienses
Que por conseguir
Que tu cumplas mis antojos
Si no mírame a los ojos
Tu sabrás si estoy mintiendo
Porque no es así
Es porque
Desde hace buen tiempo
Este amor
Por ti yo lo siento
Tanto que te adoro de más
Necesito un beso
Vamos dame un beso
No seas tan tímida nena
Nada te va a pasar
Bésame
A quien le tienes tanto miedo
Bésame
Bésame
A quien le tienes tanto miedo
Bésame
Necesito un beso
Vamos, dame un beso
Ven y dame un beso
Bésame, bésame un poco
Mira bésame, me vuelvo loco
Mira bésame, cuando te toco
Mira bésame, me vuelvo loco
Mira bésame, desespero más
Sabes que estoy enamorado de ti
Pero me siento un poquitito mal
Será porque no me quieres besar
Ay bésame, ay bésame
Nada, nada, nada pasará
Estoy enamorado como un loco de ti
Necesito un beso
Vamos dame un beso
Yo te quiero mucho
Y lo sabes tu
No seas tan tímida nena
Nada te va a pasar
Oye bien lo que te digo cariñito
Que no puedo estar así
Yo escogí este buen momento
De decir por fin lo que siento
Bésame y lo comprobarás
Bésame y tu lo sabrás
Si es mentira o es verdad
Cariño
Bésame
A quien le tienes tanto miedo

Bésame, bésame un poco
Mira bésame, me vuelvo loco
Mira bésame, cuando te toco
Mira bésame, me vuelvo loco
Mira bésame, desespero más
Bésame, bésame un poco
Mira bésame, me vuelvo loco
Mira bésame, cuando te toco
Mira bésame, me vuelvo loco
Mira bésame, desespero más

Escuche esta cancion por primera vez en 1984 (tenia 18 años) y vivia en el segundo piso en una casa de renta en Acapulco y los inquilinos de la planta baja todas las mañanas ponian musica a todo volumen y no pude evitar oirla y me gusto!!
