A performer who plumbed the depths of human emotion, Juan Gabriel's meticulous songwriting and passionate voice made him an icon. Gabriel's spine-tingling wail could be accompanied by mariachis or symphony orchestras, but its power was undeniable. During marathon live sets, he sported sequins, toyed with gender norms, and still made caballeros break down in tears. Equally inspired by love's dizzying highs and devastating lows, his music will be healing heartbreak for generations to come.
