He joined the army at the age of 16. When he left the army, he met a young man named Abila, who was the only one throughout the region played the guitar. Abila taught Vargas to play the guitar that his mother had bought him.
Like many musicians in his area, Vargas played merengue, the calabash, drum and accordion. These are the instruments used in the bachata, but Vargas introduced other elements, like playing the bongo with chopsticks instead of hands, and playing merengue rhythms. Vargas started recording bachata in 1982, but was not successful until the end of the decade, when he introduced his new style "guitar merengue."
A year later he recorded his first single, a 45 RPM that was what was used at that time. He sold his singles himself, going from record store to store.
Luis Vargas consolidated his career as a professional artist in the world of bachata, having to his credit more than 20 productions with other labels and, in mid-2001, launched the album " In Person ", the first with his new record label.
Luis Vargas's close friend, Anthony Santos has been very helpful in his career. However, after Vargas's career developed, so did the rivalry between them, to the point that Vargas challenged Santos to a music duel.
Vargas has been characterized by a disorganized personal life: the father of 7 children with different women who came to know in one of his concerts and never seen again.
In 2009 he said he would leave the Dominican Republic with his family to live in Miami, due to the crime in the DR. He also declared his sympathy with the PRD.

Luis Vargas
el rey supremo mami
no te confunda chichi
el mundo va escuchar una bachata de novela ahora
Tu tienes un encanto que a cualquiera transforma
hasta de madrugada camino por tu barrio
ya piensa el vecindario que yo soy un ladron
tu que sabes lo que hago dile que no soy malo
lo que pasa es que te amo y perdi la razon
tu que sabes lo que hago dile que no soy malo
lo que pasa es que te amo y perdi la razon
Ahora todos se acuestan temprano
porque temen que se lo ven raro
algo se puede robar
algo se puede robar
la patruya me esta vigilando
esta pendiente de todo lo que hago
para poderme arrestar
para poderme arrestar
Pero se van a quedar con los crespos hecho
porque la semana entrante me disfrasare
voy a llegar diciendo que soy jardinero
y todas las mañanitas
cuando tu salgas en batica
Yo te vere
yo te vere
yo te vere
yo te vere corazon
y te hablare
y te hablare
y te hablare de mi amor
yo te vere
yo te vere
yo te vere corazon
y te hablare
y te hablare
y te hablare de mi amor
un hombre enamorado es caspas de todo
de todo mi mami
Yo tengo muchos planes para amarte mi vida
y si alguno me falla practico los demas
al frente de tu casa pondre una tiendesita
solo con el pretexto de poderte mirar
las cosas que tu compra te la doy con caricias
yo se que tu me pagas con amor y algo mas
las cosas que tu compra te la doy con caricias
yo se que tu me paga con amor y algo mas
Por las tardes me vuelvo cartero
y en una bicicleta te llevo
todas mi cartas de amor
todas mi cartas de amor
para no marcharme tan lijero
tu me dice delante tu viejo
tomese un tinto señor
tomese un tinto señor
Me voy hacer el enfermo del corazon
para que el medico diga que si es verdad
que tengo un mal que solo se puede curar
con una linda muchachita
que vive alla en una casita
y en la receta me ponga tu direccion
Y asi podre
y asi podre
curarme d'este dolor
y dejare
y dejare
de ser un loco de amor
y asi podre
y asi podre
curarme d'este dolor
y dejare
y dejare
de ser un loco de amor
bueno
la voy a seguir
hasta el fin del mundo
no me importa las barreras
que tenga que crusar
no me importa los peligros
no me importa nada
porque la amo
la amo con todas las fuerzas de mi corazon
y que digan por ahi que estoy loco no importa
loco, soy un loco
JA JA JA JA JA

The first verse of the song "Loco De Amor" by Luis Vargas sets the tone for the rest of the song. Luis introduces himself as the "Rey Supremo" and urges his love interest to not be fooled by others. He then goes on to sing about his insane love for this person, expressing that her charm has utterly transformed him. He finds himself walking around her neighborhood late at night, causing the neighbors to assume he's a thief. Despite his actions, he insists to his love interest that he's not a bad person but rather, that he's lost his mind and become consumed by his love for her.
In the second verse, Luis sings about how his love for this person has caused him to do crazy things. He mentions how everyone around him is going to bed early, afraid of what he may do next. The police are also keeping an eye on him, ready to arrest him if he steps out of line. Despite all of this, Luis has plans to continue his pursuit of this person. He talks about disguising himself as a gardener and setting up shop near her house, just so he can catch a glimpse of her. He also plays the role of a postal worker, delivering letters of love to her house every afternoon, even though her father is watching. Luis concludes the song by declaring his unwavering love, stating that he will follow this person to the ends of the earth, regardless of any danger or obstacles.

Como.olvidar la década de los 90s con Luis vargas que linda bachata de muchos de ellos incluyendo a raulin Rodriguez.,arriba santo domingo y mi México lindo y querido
@ricardoantoniojorgecastro2414
Considerada como la mejor bachata en español compuesta de todos los tiempos.. una verdadera obra de arte.
@wilsonbarrios7001
El mejor vallenato
@PlaylistsdelaCulturaDominicana
Hay bachatas mejores y con composición completamente Dominicana tales como:
-Luis segura, si será como un castigo
-Ramón Cordero, si el sol un día se apagara
-Luis segura, amorcito de mi alma
-Juan Bautista, por mala fé
Todas cuentan con las letras y la composición de alta calidad para ser consideradas las mejores del ritmo de la bachata clásica y en definitiva mejor que esta y 100% Dominicana
@user-ls4dz8cu2r
