Paying Tribute To Mexican Musical Hero Juan Gabriel (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

So many popular Mexican singers are macho. Juan Gabriel was not. And he was the bestselling Mexican musical artist of all time. A Latin American music icon. A cross somehow between Elvis, Tom Jones and Liberace. Last week he performed for a sold-out crowd in Los Angeles, went home, and died. At 66. He grew up in an orphanage. He sang of simple things. And millions sang his songs. This hour On Point, the story of Mexican superstar, Juan Gabriel. -- Tom Ashbrook
