José José was born into a family of singers: his father was a gospel singer and his mother an opera singer. They did not achieve large success, however, and, when José began to show interest in singing, his parents tried to discourage him, by claiming that it was too difficult to make it in the show business. José José continued trying to become a singer, and, by his teens, he had launched his own career. José was a struggling singer at first. But then, during the late 1960s, his fame began to increase, especially in Mexico, where he was featured on television various times.
During the 1970s, José José became one of the most known balladists in Latin America, despite competing with such other Hispanic singing legends as Nino Bravo (who died in 1973), Alberto Cortés, Julio Iglesias, Danny Rivera, José Luis RodrÃguez and Camilo Sesto. José José made various international number one hits, and he toured Latin America various times.His songs included "Lo Dudo" ("I Doubt It"), a romantic song about a relationship that had stopped. During the 1980s, he and José Feliciano joined to produce what became a major hit for both singers: "Por Ella" ("For Her") told the tale of two friends who fell in love with the same girl, being then left heartbroken by the girl, which made them turn into alcoholics.
By the time the song's video was released, José had already begun a real life battle against alcohol.
In 1992, he produced another major hit, "Cuarenta y Veinte" ("Forty and Twenty"), which spoke about men who fall in love with women that are much younger than them and the way society sees these situations.
He would suffer dire consequences from his problem with alcoholism, as his health faltered dearly during the 1990s. His excessive drinking caused his voice to deteriorate and could no longer perform voice properly as he could before. Alcoholism was also one of the major factors for his divorce from his first wife. He went to Alcoholics Anonymous, however, and claims to be cured. He re-married, and, in 1996, he was awarded a special concession by the Mexican government. The Mexican government deemed him deserving of this award based on the cultural impact they think José José had on the country.
In 1998, his third daughter was born. She has shown interest in becoming a singer in the future. José José has five children.
His influence is strongly felt in Mexican pop culture and music. For his contribution to the recording industry, José José has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7036 Hollywood Blvd.
