Mexican pop singer Juan Gabriel (born Alberto Aguilera Valadez) rose to stardom in the 1970s and early `80s. Although renowned for his sensitive vocal performances, Gabriel is equally revered as a songwriter, having penned singles for many other Latino artists, including Thalia, Paulina Rubio, and Jose Jose. Famously guarded about his personal life, Gabriel has maintained a lower profile in the early 21st century, but continues to record and tour on occasion.
