José José, born José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz on February 17, 1948, was a Mexican music icon whose influence and vocal prowess earned him the endearing nickname "El Príncipe de la Canción" (The Prince of the Song). With a career spanning over four decades, José José rose to fame in the late 1960s and became one of the most beloved figures in Latin American music, renowned for his heartfelt ballads and soaring romantic anthems.

As a testament to his enduring legacy, José José's recent releases, including albums such as "Las Favoritas del Príncipe," "José por Siempre José," and "Sinfónico," celebrate the breadth and depth of his artistry. "José José Duetos" Volumes 1 and 2 showcase his ability to seamlessly blend voices with other renowned artists, while his "Sólo para Mujeres" collection highlights the songs that endeared him particularly to female fans. His versatility as a performer is further exhibited in albums like "José José Big Band" and "Jose Jose Ranchero," where he explores different stylistic arrangements and genres. Throughout his prolific career, José José battled personal struggles, including those with addiction and health issues, which he candidly shared with the public, further deepening the bond with his loyal fanbase. His voice and emotive delivery made each song uniquely his own, leaving an indelible mark on the world of Latin music until his passing on September 28, 2019.
