@@luisvelito9230 actually in this performance he had healthy lungs still. 2 years after this in 1972 is when he contracted a severe pneumonia which diminished his lung capacity to 50 percent. He didn’t lose one lung rather he lost lung capacity. If you look up later performances of el triste you can hear the diminishing capacity. Though in the 1980s he recorded a new version which was an octave lower to make it more comfortable with his ability in his later years. It turned out quite nice actually. The 1970s version was really pushing his vocal range as he got up to a G4 in the belting portion.
"El triste" (The sad one) is the title of the song. "En vivo" means that it was recorded in a live performance. It's a melancholic but beautiful song. This man was amazing. My mother used to listen to him a lot. There are many gems within the very varied Latin American music.
Gracias hermano por hablar tan bien de este gran Méxicano….cuando vacacionáramos en Mexicano con mis abuelos estas canciones close escuchaban de casa en casa

El Triste - "The sad one" (Lyrics translated) 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.
If you were impressed with this phenomenal Mexican singer, wait till you get to know more of other Mexican greats. Perfect Mexican performers: Luis Miguel (La Bikina song) Juan Gabriel (Amor eterno). Perfect voice: Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete. Mexico has thee most powerful, passionate singers in history. Be blessed, sister in spirit.
See the translation, I’m from El Salvador, and I love black metal, but my respect to a lot of Mexican musicians, with their feelings and love to theirs classics songs!! 🥰
I've never heard of him before today but he has an amazing voice. I always enjoy discovering music from different parts of the world. Great reaction Biss!! Looking forward to discovering more great talent. ❤🇲🇽🔥
You will not regret it if you dive through all his repertoire. This performance was a young Jode Jose so you just discovered the tip of the iceberg my friend. Greetings from Mexico!
Jose Jose One of the best singers that Mexico and the world has produced. This was a Latin song festival in 1970 and Jose Jose was practically born there the prince of the song. He had many successes and today his songs are still heard, especially by the romantics at heart. Greetings from Cdmx.
I just mentioned some technical details, year 1970, the presentation was made on a TV set in Mexico, analog lines, open microphones, orchestra without differentiated channels, what to say about calibration or audio editing, a place with terrible acoustics, and yet With all these factors against, an interpretation I would say is unique and unmatched... curious facts, in this festival José José was 3rd, and they called José José the 3rd lungs... you can see why, greetings from Chile
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
Like Mexican, i have to give you thanks so much for this reaction. He was one of must important singers of Mexico (top 3) and all Latin America. Actually still hears his songs in the home partys when this are finnalized and the young people and mature people sings together while drink.
That singer is a phenomenon / freak….does he breathes???......that artist has dynamics / voices / tuning / power / timbre...all exceptional among other things.....very interesting artist / performance!!….
oh man! he was one of the most successful singers in Latin America. He was known as "The Prince of Song" (el principe de la cancion) and this song is just one of the many hits of his 30+ year career.
The greatness of this live song is that it was a competition in which, still very young, he represented Mexico. He sang in front of established figures and he nailed it.
I'm from El Salvador and I like and listen to Heavy Metal, but this performance is amazing. The best performance from an artist in history, definitely. My whole respect to José José, and rest in peace. This performance is beautiful, incredible and legendary.
El príncipe de la canción, sus canciones sonarán por siempre. Y ahora lloran si no les ponen el autotune. La mayoría de "cantantes" son una pena ahora.
José José is one of the greatest singers that Mexico has given, there will hardly be one like that, he was known as the prince of song, this video you saw has his story
Jose Jose un gran artista y tan humilde persona, lastimosamente a artistas resultan ser los más explotados, es una pena que su vida fue trágica aún consiguiendo la a fama, grande Jose Jose!❤
Es así…, él siendo un gran cantante, terminó su vida de una manera muy triste. A partir de que se fue a Miami su carrera y su vida se fueron apagando, su hija menor y su última esposa no lo supieron apreciar, creo que ni estaban concientes de quién era él, y lo que significaba para México y el resto de América Latina. Siempre será uno de los mejores cantantes que hemos tenido en México, el GRAN JOSÉ JOSÉ! Saludos!🙂
This performance was for an international competition and he was representing Mexico. In the audience you see a lot of known performers of that time and you can see how amazed they were.
The song translate to "The sad one". The brief of the song is, "everything feels sad since you left, this pain and sadness helps me remembering you and help me continue living" José José is arguably the best Mexican singer form the 20th century (maybe from all times). His career is not as long as it should have been because of his battle with addictions, but the combination of his great voice with three of the greatest song writers of the time, gave us Mexicans long strings of songs that were authentic jewels. Most people of my generation or older can say they fell in love listening to his songs. This video is from a singing competition in 1970, very early in his career. At this point he only had his first hit song, "La nave del olvido" playing in the radio, but that song was enough to make the crowd go crazy when his name was mentioned as you can see in the video. This was the first time "El triste" was performed and it became an immediate hit. As a Mexican, a standing ovation to this jewel of Mexican music is much appreciated.
Jose Jose was called "The Prince of the song", and he earning that alias, since the very first beggining of his career. "El triste" means: "The sad one", "En vivo" means that this video was recorded "Live". He was the GOAT singer. Literally he was known everywere in latin America and some parts of the US.
This was recorded in a live talent show in Mexico. Think of The Voice, America's got Talent, etc. that's kinda like what this was at the time. He didn't win, but everyone loved him. That's why the people afterwards threw their roses/flowers and went on stage. He's beloved in Mexico. This is where he became huge in Mexico for decades.
This video is from 1970 (it says it on the screen at some point). It was from a "Music festival" that was held were up and coming singers from different countries would perform. For most people in the audience, this was the first time they had seen or heard this man.
The video is from a latin song contest from 1970 and believe it or not, this performance got third place. It also launched Jose Jose's career as a top performance artist for decades.
It must have been bribery because when they panned around at the other singers their jaws were on the floor like an average guitarist seeing Jimi Hendrix for the first time
@@sargonsblackgrandfather2072 He definitely deserved 1st place. The reason he wasn't awarded 1st place was because the song he chose to sing did not match the contest's theme in which they were told to do. It's like someone showing up with the best car costume ever to a super hero costume contest. Still, it was worth it. It exponentially made Jose Jose known.
The funeral of great José-José was carried on at the Palace of Fine Arts lobby, and thousands were able to bid him a much deserved farewell. On the wall was a picture of him and the first verse of THIS very song: «qué triste fue decirnos adiós» (“how sad it was to say each other good bye”). His parents were both accomplished classical trained musicians (singer and pianist), and he was a double bass player himself in jazz and bolero combos early on in his career. That explains a lot :) His life was kinda tragical, and as a musician myself I have the fortune of have met and performed with several of his regular musicians. The stories they tell are nothing short of amazing.

The name of the song is "El Triste" (The sad one), "En vivo" means it was recorded during a live session (a contest). The video quality is because of the year: 1970. José José, "El príncipe de la canción" (The prince of song) is one of the iconic music figures (performer and actor) of México, very well known in all Latin America.
One of the best performers, singers of not only his era but of ANY era. From this performance in 1970 and for almost next 30 years he was the excellence in ballads and song.
The Sad refers to a man with a lot of sadness. José José was one of the most recogniced Mexican singers worldwide in the 70s, 80s, 90s, y 2000s, he was now as the prince of song...
@@diegom7760no, actually he struggled with alcoholism his whole life. Alcohol is terrible for the vocal cords-extremely drying. Dry vocal cords lead to injury. He had exceptional vocal technique, he had a very healthy way of singing. What annihilated his voice was the alcoholism and the fact that he had greedy managers who worked him to oblivion. No rest for 10-15 years takes a toll on anyone. Had he had a better life he would’ve had his voice for decades.
The history Roberto Cantoral, who had already made classics like "El reloj", was inspired by a sad and tragic event to make this masterpiece of music in Spanish today. The story of "El triste", a song that became famous in the voice of José José, has to do with the death of the composer's mother. “Yes, it was made for a woman: her mother when she passed away. That's why he says 'how sad it was to say goodbye when we loved each other the most'. No one separates when they love each other the most. And he says 'today I want to savor my pain'. It is the death of his mother," said his son Roberto Cantoral Zucchi in De Primera Mano
Yeap.... It doesn't matter if you understand him or what language you speak!! His voice, emotions, and passion is universally understood by everyone with a soul!
José José simplemente uno de los mejores intérpretes contemporáneos de México para el mundo. Viva el Príncipe de la Canción (que en paz descanse). Una voz privilegiada que no tiene comparación.
Hello Everyone, I am from México. I am proud of You all people, Because you're so Sensitive. I can see It and read these , so. Our Loved Artist, when was Alive, was Son of an Orchestran Musician, that's why he had a great musical Education. His Profesional Succes, was the opposite of His personal reality, because of the enormus envy I understand , that born around him, ever I can see , during His Life. Recordar es Vivir . Latinoamérica Amado con México también, Un mismo Sentimiento... Un Abrazo Gigante . Thank You Lady, for sharing to Us Your Reaction. Blessings to all of You . Your Friend, José Manuel...
Este video es del año de 1970 que fue en su momento el concurso de la OTI fue transmitido en televisión y aunque el no ganó pues quedó en tercer lugar fue el ganador absoluto para el público , como decimos en México el REY SIN CORONA 🤴 , el es uno de los máximos intérpretes de MÉXICO.
Mean chica the song is El triste de José José singing live on tv in a show the was great on the time where many singers come out ❤️🌹 tanks for the reaction and take time to bring good memories my mom play him a lot 😭🫣😍❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
In 1970, José José participated in the Latin Song Festival which was held in Mexico City at the Ferrocarrilero Theater, in that place José José took the ovation of those present after his extraordinary interpretation of "El triste" he didn’t win 🥺
If I remember correctly March 15, 1970, without technology, son of an opera singer father, he was a prodigy, if life of successes and excesses in alcohol and drugs, then he had affections to speak and sing until he died a few years ago
Every latino rock head love this artist, is an anthem for us latinos even if you just listening rock, heavy and black metal. Its not our fault we have so much talent and so so many anthems like this one
He was named the prince of the song, he is our greatest singer from the 60's to 90's sadly a life of excesses on alcohol and drugs lead him to even speak with difficulty. But he left a legacy with his voice. En vivo means live and the performance is during a contest where unexpectedly he didn't win because the contest was about lyrics not the voice. It was the beginning of his successful career.
I have seen a lot of coaches react to this song, but you are the first one ever seen soing a standing ovation to a video, thats the efectt José José does to must of the people seeing this vdeo. the perfomance was for a contest that took place im 1970. Unfotunalety he did not win, but thankfully for us, the song has won the heart of millions around the world, like you just did. EN VIVO means it was a live event, those contest were broadcast to the latin countries. I like to thank you for your reaction. From those days there are more mexican singers with the same quality as José José. You can try Emmanuel, Lupita D alessio, Manuela Torres, Lola Beltrán, Enrique Guzman, and so on. Looking foward to see more of your reactions. Grettings from México.
This video is from 1970, in the OTI Festival. José José is the "Prince of the song" in all Latin America. Congratulations for your channel, you are so cute and nice, God bless you ever!
GRANDIOSA LA REACCION ANTE ESTA CANCION... GRACIAS POR UN CANTANTE CONACIONAL SEA RECONOCIDO. ESTA CACION POR PARTE DEL DIJO QUE NNCA PUDO VOLVER A TENER ESTA INTERPRETACION, PERO CON ESTA ES GENIAL.
Wow😮 i'm mexican and your follower, and It's great your reaction to "el triste" (sad) from José José (RIP) he was called " el príncipe de la canción" (The Prince of song) for his amazing way of sing. I'm so happy and proud that you lied the song Bisscute❤❤❤
This song was sung in a composer/singer competition for the OTI iberoamerican tele-media organizations back in the 70's in Mexico the song was written by the composer while traveling on a plane back home after being informed his brother had passed or so I've heard!
The song is called "El Triste" is a live version of a Latin American song festival from the year 1970.The lyrics are by Roberto Cantoral, which he wrote when he was on his way to his mother's funeral.
"El Triste" was composed by Humberto Cantoral in honor of the pain of losing his mother while traveling by plane to her funeral, at least that's what some say.
José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz (17 February 1948 - 28 September 2019), known professionally as José José, was a Mexican singer. Also known as El Príncipe de la Canción (The Prince of Song), his performance and vocal style have influenced many Latin pop artists in a career that spanned more than four decades.[1][2][3] Due to his vocals and popularity, José José was considered by Latin audience and media as an icon of Latin pop music and one of the most emblematic Latin singers of his time.[

That singer had 4 lungs…precious dinámica…. perfect intonation…deeply impressive
Amazing
Shockingly at that moment he had just ONE lung, so…
@@luisvelito9230I did not know!!!😮
@@luisvelito9230 actually in this performance he had healthy lungs still. 2 years after this in 1972 is when he contracted a severe pneumonia which diminished his lung capacity to 50 percent. He didn’t lose one lung rather he lost lung capacity. If you look up later performances of el triste you can hear the diminishing capacity. Though in the 1980s he recorded a new version which was an octave lower to make it more comfortable with his ability in his later years. It turned out quite nice actually. The 1970s version was really pushing his vocal range as he got up to a G4 in the belting portion.
One of the jewels of Mexican balada! They’ve also named him “The prince of the Mexican singers”! Without a doubt, one of the best Mexican performers!

El Triste - "The sad one"
(Lyrics translated)
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.

How sad it was to say goodbye
When we adored each other more
Even the swallow emigrated
Heralding the end
How sad everything looks without you
The seas of the beaches are leaving
The colors are dyed gray
Today everything is loneliness
I don't know if I'll see you again later
I don't know what my life will be
Without the blue star of your being
That does not shine on me anymore
Today I want to taste my pain
Nooo, I ask for compassion and mercy
The story of this love was written
For eternity
How sad, everyone says that I am
That I'm always talking about you
They don't know that thinking of your love, of your love
I have been able to help myself to live
I have been able to help myself to live
Today I want to taste my pain
I don't ask for compassion and pity
The story of this love was written
For eternity
How sad everyone says that I am
That I'm always talking about you
They do not know that thinking of your love in your love
I have been able to help myself to live
I have been able to help myself to live
I have been able to help myself to live

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Jose Jose was a master of vocal technique. O seară frumoasă!
One of the best singer of latin america, the true singer with talent, love ur reaction and greetings from perú.
The name of the song is "El Triste" (The sad one), "En vivo" means it was recorded during a live session (a contest). The video quality is because of the year: 1970. José José, "El príncipe de la canción" (The prince of song) is one of the iconic music figures (performer and actor) of México, very well known in all Latin America.
Hello, I loved your reaction to El Triste from the one and only José José. Cheers from Tijuana, México.
One of the best performers, singers of not only his era but of ANY era. From this performance in 1970 and for almost next 30 years he was the excellence in ballads and song.
ES EL MERO MERO..ES JOSÉ JOSÉ QUE VIVA MÉXICO..¡!
The Sad refers to a man with a lot of sadness. José José was one of the most recogniced Mexican singers worldwide in the 70s, 80s, 90s, y 2000s, he was now as the prince of song...
53 years ago… in my opinion he was the greatest singer of Mexico, it’s a shame he lost his voice to the point where he could barely speak
He was a heavy cigarette smoker!
@@diegom7760no, actually he struggled with alcoholism his whole life. Alcohol is terrible for the vocal cords-extremely drying. Dry vocal cords lead to injury. He had exceptional vocal technique, he had a very healthy way of singing. What annihilated his voice was the alcoholism and the fact that he had greedy managers who worked him to oblivion. No rest for 10-15 years takes a toll on anyone. Had he had a better life he would’ve had his voice for decades.
Hes vocal cords got fucked up after a bit he couldn't sing and he talked wierd..
@@diegom7760 No he wasn’t
The history
Roberto Cantoral, who had already made classics like "El reloj", was inspired by a sad and tragic event to make this masterpiece of music in Spanish today. The story of "El triste", a song that became famous in the voice of José José, has to do with the death of the composer's mother. “Yes, it was made for a woman: her mother when she passed away. That's why he says 'how sad it was to say goodbye when we loved each other the most'. No one separates when they love each other the most. And he says 'today I want to savor my pain'. It is the death of his mother," said his son Roberto Cantoral Zucchi in De Primera Mano
My friend, you know your history! Cantoral was the MAN!!!! Cheers mate
El Principe, gracias por todo José José
Yeap.... It doesn't matter if you understand him or what language you speak!! His voice, emotions, and passion is universally understood by everyone with a soul!
This was one of the best reaction that ever seen thank you hope you love mexico
He was they Best 🎉
He’s amazing
José José simplemente uno de los mejores intérpretes contemporáneos de México para el mundo. Viva el Príncipe de la Canción (que en paz descanse). Una voz privilegiada que no tiene comparación.
Que emocionante saber que te haya gustado esta canción !
The video was 1970, and the song is "Sad".. and interpreted in live
Hello Everyone, I am from México. I am proud of You all people, Because you're so Sensitive. I can see It and read these , so. Our Loved Artist, when was Alive, was Son of an Orchestran Musician, that's why he had a great musical Education. His Profesional Succes, was the opposite of His personal reality, because of the enormus envy I understand , that born around him, ever I can see , during His Life. Recordar es Vivir . Latinoamérica Amado con México también, Un mismo Sentimiento... Un Abrazo Gigante . Thank You Lady, for sharing to Us Your Reaction. Blessings to all of You . Your Friend, José Manuel...
Este video es del año de 1970 que fue en su momento el concurso de la OTI fue transmitido en televisión y aunque el no ganó pues quedó en tercer lugar fue el ganador absoluto para el público , como decimos en México el REY SIN CORONA 🤴 , el es uno de los máximos intérpretes de MÉXICO.
Quien es José José dice José José es el príncipe de la música era un maestro de música 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gracias, nuestro príncipe de la canción mexicano 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Mean chica the song is El triste de José José singing live on tv in a show the was great on the time where many singers come out ❤️🌹 tanks for the reaction and take time to bring good memories my mom play him a lot 😭🫣😍❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
In 1970, José José participated in the Latin Song Festival which was held in Mexico City at the Ferrocarrilero Theater, in that place José José took the ovation of those present after his extraordinary interpretation of "El triste" he didn’t win 🥺
No ganó por increíble que parezca
They were evaluating the song not the performance, anyway incredible that he didn’t won
Un monstruo al micrófono. Grande el maestro José José.
Saludos!!! desde México. Gracias por tu linda reaccion.
If I remember correctly March 15, 1970, without technology, son of an opera singer father, he was a prodigy, if life of successes and excesses in alcohol and drugs, then he had affections to speak and sing until he died a few years ago
The one and only José José.. thank you for react the one of the greatest singers of all time ..
He was one of the best singers in Mexico .
Every latino rock head love this artist, is an anthem for us latinos even if you just listening rock, heavy and black metal. Its not our fault we have so much talent and so so many anthems like this one
"El triste" (The sad one) March 25, 1970, when he represented Mexico in an international song festival, the "II Festival de la Canción Latina"
He was named the prince of the song, he is our greatest singer from the 60's to 90's sadly a life of excesses on alcohol and drugs lead him to even speak with difficulty. But he left a legacy with his voice. En vivo means live and the performance is during a contest where unexpectedly he didn't win because the contest was about lyrics not the voice. It was the beginning of his successful career.
One of the best singers ever ❤️🇲🇽
He was the most greatest singer (in the beggining) he's got a great voice and feeling
He was the One !
I have seen a lot of coaches react to this song, but you are the first one ever seen soing a standing ovation to a video, thats the efectt José José does to must of the people seeing this vdeo. the perfomance was for a contest that took place im 1970. Unfotunalety he did not win, but thankfully for us, the song has won the heart of millions around the world, like you just did. EN VIVO means it was a live event, those contest were broadcast to the latin countries. I like to thank you for your reaction. From those days there are more mexican singers with the same quality as José José. You can try Emmanuel, Lupita D alessio, Manuela Torres, Lola Beltrán, Enrique Guzman, and so on. Looking foward to see more of your reactions. Grettings from México.
This video is from 1970, in the OTI Festival. José José is the "Prince of the song" in all Latin America. Congratulations for your channel, you are so cute and nice, God bless you ever!
One of the greatest
GRANDIOSA LA REACCION ANTE ESTA CANCION... GRACIAS POR UN CANTANTE CONACIONAL SEA RECONOCIDO. ESTA CACION POR PARTE DEL DIJO QUE NNCA PUDO VOLVER A TENER ESTA INTERPRETACION, PERO CON ESTA ES GENIAL.

This song was sung in a composer/singer competition for the OTI iberoamerican tele-media organizations back in the 70's in Mexico the song was written by the composer while traveling on a plane back home after being informed his brother had passed or so I've heard!
The song is called "El Triste" is a live version of a Latin American song festival from the year 1970.The lyrics are by Roberto Cantoral, which he wrote when he was on his way to his mother's funeral.
Que paso biquite , que bueno que escuchaste a jose Jose... Mexicano hasta la eternidad
"El Triste" was composed by Humberto Cantoral in honor of the pain of losing his mother while traveling by plane to her funeral, at least that's what some say.
José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz (17 February 1948 - 28 September 2019), known professionally as José José, was a Mexican singer. Also known as El Príncipe de la Canción (The Prince of Song), his performance and vocal style have influenced many Latin pop artists in a career that spanned more than four decades.[1][2][3] Due to his vocals and popularity, José José was considered by Latin audience and media as an icon of Latin pop music and one of the most emblematic Latin singers of his time.[
