It appears that there has been a mix-up with the song listings provided. "Something Just Like This" and "Stay with Me" are not songs by Cuco Sánchez, but are contemporary hits from different artists (The Chainsmokers & Coldplay, and Sam Smith, respectively).

However, I will proceed with the requested biography with the correct context in mind for Cuco Sánchez.

José del Refugio Sánchez Saldaña, known professionally as Cuco Sánchez, was a revered figure in the realm of traditional Mexican music, whose influential career spanned multiple decades from the 1940s until his death in 2000. Born on May 3, 1921, in Altamira, Tamaulipas, Mexico, Sánchez was a prolific songwriter, singer, and actor who helped to popularize the ranchera genre both nationally and internationally. His poetic lyrics and soulful voice resonated with themes of love, patriotism, and heartbreak, making him an icon of Mexican cultural identity.

Cuco Sánchez is perhaps best remembered for penning and performing beloved Mexican classics such as "Cien Años," "Fallaste Corazón," and "La Cama de Piedra." His music not only entertained but provided a voice to the sentiments and spirit of the Mexican people. Throughout his career, he appeared in over 60 films and recorded an extensive catalog of albums. His contribution to Mexican music was not just prolific but deeply influential, inspiring subsequent generations of musicians and songwriters. His albums, such as "Inolvidables," "Antologia," and "Lo Mejor de Cuco Sánchez," continue to be celebrated for their authenticity and emotional depth, keeping his legacy alive well into the 21st century.
