Frank Sinatra was a fan of his. May they both Rest In Peace.

Fun fact before that performance no one knew who he was that performance made him famous in one night to this day he’s an icon in Mexico

The guy was almost unknown that day. Some of the best performers of that time were watching his performance in the audience. Everyone ended up clapping on their feet. The legend began in that festival.

Sin duda alguna José José es y será x siempre una leyenda de la música mexicana x eso víva México saludos desde Barranquilla Colombia

The composer of this song wrote this song on his way to his mom's funeral it can be taken as break up song or the lost a dear one

He's an icon in Mexico. He has so many hits. Some that I recommend are Amar y Querer, Almohada, and Vamos a Darnos Tiempo. You should also look up the lyrics translated to English so that you can have a better understanding of the song.

He was 19 in that festival in which he got 3rd place,and the song writer gave him the song to perform it, he was the second choice, the first choice was a woman. The author says he made the right choice. He performed this song and sang it there for the first time ever. And after that event they recorded it. The lyrics make so much sense as of how he sings it, it's not just about the techniques he used but they all align perfectly with what he us saying. The song makes you believe it's about a break up with someone you really loved but the reality is that the author wrote it in honor of his mother that has just recently passed away, so you could feel it in any of those two sad events you may have experienced in your life. His parents were into music, classic piano and opera, and orchestra director. He lost his voice for unknown reasons and passed away in 2019. RIP

Please react to Juan Gabriel " Hasta que te conocí" he is the best songwriter in México.

José José has one of the best voices i have ever heard, fantástic!!!

Wow, i can't believe you guys reacted to a spanish song. Thanks!

BREATHE TWO SECONDS AND SING FOREVER JOSÉ JOSÉ REST IN PEACE

José José's Dad was an Opera singer, so he knew the techniques since a baby.

Unfortunately He pass away on September 2019...El Triste is one of his iconic songs of many on his career...excellent reaction...!!! El Pastor with Mariachi Vargas...you will enjoy for sure...greetings!!!✌️

That priceless and magical moment when the crowd is in standing ovation cheering and the band just keeps going.

Me gusto su reacción Gracias por reaccionar a José José Saludos desde Culiacan Sinaloa Mexico 🇲🇽

We still singing this song! No matter your age you know it and hits you

That song is a hymn for the sadest person and yes that song kicks hard when you drinking lol

That particular version of the song (and of Jose Jose in general) is the ONLY version I ever listen to/watch. Nothing else Jose Jose ever did compares to this live performance.

Jose Jose songs will never die

Thank you so much!! im happy to be part of this amazing family

Powerful and soft voice sing like he have an extra set of longs Several of his songs he sing them like this one Amazing The best male voice in history

Bravo El Triste ❤✌🎤👍🌺🌺🌺🙏

That song is just as popular today as it was in 1969 . Just a clásico de clasicos

El Principe rLa Canción José José, el único e inigualable!! Desde México

I saw this singer twice 11 years ago in my hometown Tijuana Mexico where Frank Sinatra saw him performe. 😁 that's just across the border. and even though he lost his voice from drinking to much alcohol he did a good performance and was so talented that he was Frank sinatra"s favorite singer, he named him el principe de la cancion (the prince of song) And passed away last year I think. Great reaction you guys. ❤❤

Gotta be one of the most amazing, greatest vocal performances en todo el mundo - for real....QEPD José José

Donde dicen Jose Jose se paran las aguas

One of the best voices in México, that was a competition and he took the 2nd place.

I wasn’t born when this event took place but I still listen to his music and my daughters too.

I put them in context, after seeing that they reacted to the video. That performance was wonderful and unique, he never did one like that again. And it happened because before his performance (and without anyone else knowing), he finds a magazine and reads it while his time comes to go on stage; in it (magazine) they talked about that contest of singers and "the name of the winner was already printed" (which was not him, it was a woman); That motivated him to give his best interpretation and show that the decision to choose another person before the end of the contest had been a big mistake by the judges and the interests of the record companies. He never mentioned it, and it was known after many years. Now they know that even if they find another video of the same song, it will never be with the same intensity of voice and feeling. And regarding what you mention that there is a soundtrack for each state of mind, I share a phrase that exists in Mexico: "Music is a state of mind." What you hear depends on him. Greetings Los pongo en contexto, después de ver que reaccionaron al vídeo. Esa interpretación fue maravillosa y única, nunca volvió a repetir una así. Y ocurrió porque antes de su actuación (y sin que nadie más supiera), encuentra una revista y la lee mientras llega el momento de salir a escenario; en ella (revista) hablaban de ese concurso de cantantes y "ya estaba impreso el nombre de la ganador" (que no fue él, fue una mujer); eso le motivo a dar su mejor interpretación y mostrar que la decisión de elegir a otra persona antes de terminar al concurso había sido gran un error de los jueces y los intereses de las compañías disqueras.. Nunca lo mencionó, y se supo después de muchos años. Ahora saben que aunque encuentren otro video de la misma canción, nunca será con la misma intensidad de voz y sentimiento. Y respecto a lo que menciona de que hay una banda sonora para cada estado de ánimo, comparto una frase que existe en México: "La música es un estado de ánimo". De él depende lo que escuchas. Saludos.

Excelente interpretación del maestro José José...un dato que probablemente ya escribieron es que entre la audiencia estaban cantantes de la época ya consolidados y hay una imágen del señoron Marco Antonio Muñiz con la boca abierta!! La magia del maestro. Por siempre José José

the singer, the song and the magnific orchestra. one of the best latin american singers.

I heard his parents were opera singers. Probably he start taking vocal classes since he was little and also he was very gifted with that voice.

I love this video! I'm very happy that you reacted to José José 🤗👏 Please react to Juan Gabriel singing "Hasta que te conocí" Bellas Artes concert

José José was 19 in that performance, he is considered the all time best Mexican singer. He completely lost his voice many years before his passing to the point where he couldn’t even speak. Because he became so so famous at a very young age and also because of the alcoholism in his family he lost him self in alcoholism and drug addiction, so when he got sick instead of taking care of himself he went even deeper. He’ll always be the beloved boy that lost everything but above all his voice is eternal. I really hope you can get your hands on latter performances of him they are great. By the way you’re right the most outstanding quality as a singer was his breathing technique that made everybody ask “when does he breath? Thanks for bringing this reaction.

Not just in Mexico. The Prince of Songs is a legend all over Latin America.

So amazing, congrats to your son and daughter-in-law!!!! Mexico is beautiful and great KZfaq followers that take you on a virtual journey....José José just passed away 😢during the pandemic... those lyrics are great! If you guys get a chance to look them up. My dad's era and I tried to give it a chance and how he holds his breathe, oh my goodness.... this was a competition and lost, but he was well recognized after this and became HUGE

I can only say "melancholica".

Welcome to the Mexican family and culture!

One of my favorite songs from Jose Jose notice the standing ovation from the band behind him. This is the best version of the song.

Esa orquesta maravillosa!!!!!!

Jose jose was born at the time of the extraordinary singers he was one of them now we only have ordinary singers

Thank you so much for this wonderful reaction to our beloved Principe de la cancion (Prince of the song) this was an epic performance for sure and even do I had seen this performance thousand of times, I get goosebumps everytime. In my personal opinion he was one of the top Latin singers along with Luis Miguel & Javier Solis. Please react to: Luis Miguel La Incondicional, Pensar en TI both from el concierto live 1994. Javier Solis Sombras, Si Dios me quita la vida. Just a few suggestions. Thank you

Goose bumps... all the time 🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊

This is just one of so many Legendary singers from Mexico

José José es un grande de la música romántica, su voz es hermosa y poderosa y el como interpreta las canciones es la de un maestro.

Master piece

It's Amazing!

I wouldn't really think of this as a song to remember you about your ex as much as the song to listen to when you think about your mother's passing. The lyrics are heartbreaking so here they are: How sad it was to say goodbye, When we adored each other so much, Even the swallow migrated Foreshadowing the end. How sad everything is without you, The beach has no sea, The colors turn gray, Everything is loneliness now. I don't know If I'll see you once again, I don't know what will become of my life without the light of your being, that doesn't shed light on me anymore. Today I want to savor my pain, I don't ask for compassion nor pity This love story was written to be eternal "What a sad one", everyone says of me, That I'm always speaking of you But they don't know that by thinking of your love, of your love, I am able to help myself go on, to help myself live. Today I want to savor my pain, I don't ask for compassion nor pity This love story was written to be eternal "What a sad one", everyone says of me, That I'm always speaking of you But they don't know that by thinking of your love, of your love, I am able to help myself go on, to help myself live.

In 1970 Jose Jose was only 22 years old!!!!

José José ❤️…Thanks for reacting to this beautiful song!

Thank you for appreciating this fabulous singer, grettings from Mexico!

timeless voice never goes out of style

Jose Jose's catalogs are avaialble to listen on Spotify and Apple Music. For the recordings of El Triste (the song you just reviewed), you notice his breath control so much more clearly than on this video. It's amazing. Thanks for choosing this to review, and I love how you have welcomed and included your daughter in law by choosing this one to review.

My favorite singer ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

thanx for the great reaction. unfortunately he passed last year. may he rest in peace.

El gran y único,José José,no abra otro igual canta Sin Respirar,

Linda canción. Thank you guys . You’re awesome

I'm Mexican and Peruvian and listen to sala because of my dad but was born in Mexico and my Bolivian friend got me into Mexican cumbia and classic Mexican artist. I grew up with batchta but I'm glad I'm listening to my Mexican roots and yes it's the best music when u r drunk and heart broken. All thanks to my Bolivian friend. Drinking all night crying for our ex's lol. So 90's country and 80's Mexican classics are the way too good if ur drunk and r emotional 👍

Love your reaction to our beloved jose jose...the great prince Jose Jose

De México ❤️ para el Mundo

React to Luis Miguel. La Incondicional en concierto...primera vez que los veo y me encantaron....

Cuanta Pasión!

Juan Gabriel, José José,José María Napoleón y Camilo Sesto !!!!

Master Conducter: Jose Sabre Marroquin Roberto Cantoral: Song writer and most song singed by Jose Jose Interpreter: Jose Jose ( the Prince of the Romantic song), 22 years old at that time. Person with open wide mouth: Marco Antonio Muñiz Top Singer and master with some any titles. About de 99% of the audicience was highly professionals singer and actors so everybody stand up and applauded the new youngster singer than later on became the master.

Please react to Rocío Durcal's Amor Eterno, she was Spanish, but had a very Mexican Soul. The song was dedicated to the author's (Juan Gabriel, who also passed away too) mothers' passing away. It's become a mourning song. Beautiful and musically rich.

José José LEYENDA

I love to see reaction videos of this song, i will like to recommend you to check the song with subtitles. Great video!

Chingon ❣ Me gusto

el principe de la cancion jose jose
