The singer was born José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz on February 14, 1948, in Mexico City, Mexico. He is one of Spanish music's most recognized singers, thanks to his one-of-a-kind style and incomparable voice. Without a doubt, his version of El Triste at the OTI music festival in 1970, will forever be a career defining and historic musical moment. May ‘El Príncipe de la Canción’, José José, rest in peace.
