Abrázame muy fuerte amor mantenne así a tu ladooooooooooooo
Yo quiero agradecerte amor todo lo que me has dado,
quiero corresponderte de una u otra forma a diario
amor yo nunca del dolor he sido partidiario
A true legend is gone. 2016 has been rough. May he rest in peace.

For anyone who may be wondering about how big he truly was, Juan Gabriel was one of the greatest and most successful singers and songwriters in ANY language. The biggest selling artist in Mexico, he has sold more than 100 million albums world-wide (including the top seller in the history of Mexican music: Recuerdos, Vol. II, which to this date has sold sixteen million copies) and wrote many iconic anthems for other divas such as Rocio Durcal, Daniela Romo, Angela Carrasco, Pandora, and Isabel Pantoja.
One of his most popular songs was the early anthem "Yo No Naci Para Amar" (I Wasn't Born to [Know/Find] Love). Its sad lyrics have been interpreted as a young gay man's realization that he may never find love in a world full of judgment.
I really do not care about him, but tbh it´s true that he was the only homosexual in the 80´s in Mexico in mainstream music , and at the top of that he won the gp with his talent, and the people seem to accept his sexuality, that´s a big milestone in a homophobic country like Mexico
