Jurado began performing flamenco at a very young age, debuting on the big screen in 1962 with Los guerrilleros, acting alongside Manolo Escobar. She also played a main role in 1966's Proceso a una estrella and 1971's Una chica casi decente. While temporarily living in Argentina, the Spanish diva participated in a successful musical called La zapatera prodigiosa, based on Federico García Lorca's work. After teaming with composer Manuel Alejandro, Rocío Jurado became a major and beloved figure on the Latin music scene, acclaimed throughout America and Spain after releasing Muera el amor and Señora, among other hits.

In 2004, Jurado was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer for which she was treated in Houston, Texas in 2006. In April 2006, she was also treated for acute liver failure in a hospital in Madrid, Spain. On May 26, 2006, Spain's Culture Minister Carmen Calvo announced that Jurado had suffered a stroke, an assertion denied by Jurado's personal physician Dr. Domingo and by her brother and manager Amador Mohedano. She died at 5:15 in the morning on June 1st, 2006, at her home in La Moraleja, Madrid, aged 61. She is buried in her hometown, Chipiona, Cadiz, in the San José Cemetery.

The song "Mi Amante Amigo" by Rocio Jurado tells the story of a woman who is in love with her friend and lover, whom she refers to as her "amante amigo." She opens the song by calling him her savior, stating that every day he helps her to get out of bed and makes her life bearable. However, she knows that he will suffer when she tells him about her past and how she has fallen in love with someone else. She asks for his forgiveness and says that she can no longer share anything with him, as she has fallen deeply in love with someone else.

Amico mio amorevole,
tu che mi aiuti ogni giorno ad alzarti,
tu che mi rendi questa vita sopportabile,
il mio uomo, il mio arlecchino, il mio fedele giocattolo,
di tutti i miei amori confidenti,
So che sto per soffrire
Amico mio amorevole,
Mi sono innamorata come non ti ho mai detto
e non posso più condividere nulla con te,
perdonami, perdonami
Amico mio amorevole,

così bello, così diverso, così bello,
perdonami, perdonami, mio folle amore
Il mio amante amico

Cuando en España había buena música y cantantes como esta mujer. Donde las letras de las canciones te entraban en el alma. Grande Rocio Jurado.
ELIAS ABAD
Excelsa interpretación. Nadie como la Jurado. Apasionada, furiosa, tierna, un volcán en erupción cuando interpretaba, sobre todo, esta melodia.
