FrankValchiria can you please react to Lucha Reyes name of the song is Carta a mi madre (letter to my mother) from Perú, but you have to translate the song to feel more connection with the lyrics. Take care! And blessings
I love your videos, you are handsome as hell buuuuut... Excuse me... i just looked for that song , and it doesnt sound like "El Triste" at all, it was like if you said that if you hear "La Incondicional" it sounds like "My Way" from Frank Sinatra...just a big no. Anyway...greetins from Mexico
I don't think this song it's an adaptation of the one you mentioned but of course some parts are similar. As you said: it was very common practice to take one song and adapt it to another language. Here in Mexico and Latinoamérica there are tons of songs that were covers from Italian music and we didn't know it. Nowadays on TH-cam we find the original ones and feel that somehow we were scammed haha.
Se parecen tres acordes de la canción que mencionas de Domenico Modugno (por cierto gran compositor e intérprete), pero la canción "el triste" es totalmente original, tan es así que concursó en el segundo festival internacional de la canción latinoamericana, si fueran muy parecidas la hubieran descalificado los jueces. El triste fue escrita por el célebre compositor mexicano Roberto Cantoral y el arreglo musical por otro genio mexicano Jesús "chucho" Ferrer.
Me tomé el tiempo de oir a Domenico Modugno cantando "tu si na cosa grande" para poder verificar lo que dices. Y estoy totalmente de acuerdo con tu comentario.
aqui esta el link de 'tu si na cosa grande' pa quien quiera comparar...aunque para mi no es comparacion pft :V th-cam.com/video/blny7pAFjns/w-d-xo.html
Yo tambien la quise escuchar para comparar ambas canciones y al inicio de "tu si na cosa grande" tiene una tonadita parecida al triste, pero nada mas. Me gusta como canta Domenico Modugno, pero no se compara a José José.
*Fun fact:the jacket Jose Jose was wearing during the presentation was lent to him by a friend, because Jose Jose didn't had any formal clothes to wear for the presentation. Since the jacket looked a lot like the one worn by the Little Prince, from the story of the Little Prince, he ended up been called "El Principe De La Cancion," or The Prince of The Song."* *Another sad thing about Jose Jose is that due to alcohol/drug abuse he lost his beautiful voice.*

He was 22 when he competed in this festival and he shockingly won 3rd place (Brazil won 1st, Venezuela won 2nd). A lot of people were angry but the judges said that the competition was judged on the lyrics of the song rather than the performance. This performance put Jose Jose on the map to become one of Mexico’s biggest stars of the ballads. He was pretty much unknown before this performance. The competition was in Mexico - that’s why he had so much support from the audience. Frank Sinatra himself wanted to sing a duet with him but he was unable to due to a manipulative contract he has signed at the time (he was young and new to music contracts), so the duet never happened. It’s interesting the judges thought the lyrics were worthy of third place because they are amazing as well as the performance itself. The song was written by Roberto Cantoral, (one of Mexico’s best composers and dad of “la maldita lisiada villain, Itati Cantoral 😂). Roberto Cantoral wrote this song on a plane about the grief of losing someone after the death of his mother. The song could also be interpreted as losing a significant other in a relationship and talks about the need that someone feels to grieve a loss in order to keep living. Jose Jose always suffered from alcoholism and he admits that he was an alcoholic when this festival occurred. He also said that he began to drink at the age of 8 years old. He eventually lost his voice due to his addiction and years later suffered from Pancreatic Cancer. He died on September 28, 2019. Also, he was known as El Principe de la Canción “The Prince of the Song” The lady in the audience is Angélica María known as La Novia de Mexico “Mexico’s Girlfriend”- a well known actress and singer at that point already The shocked man shortly after was an already stablished singer named Marco Antonio Muniz which makes it even more significant that such successful singers were clearly shocked by a yet to be known young Jose Jose. Jose Jose came from a family of Musicians, his mom supported him in his trial for success in music and she played the Piano. His dad was a talented opera singer, which explains his extremely well breath control and style.
“El triste” primera ocasión en que fue interpretada después de ser escrita y antes de ser grabada en un disco, hasta el día de hoy nadie a podido interpretarla con la misma intensidad y afinación como lo hizo el maestro Jose José
Jose Jose. el mejor interprete mexicano de nuestra historia. Un icono ya de nuestra cultura. Nuestro "Principe de la Cancion" por siempre el mejor. Por encima de lo que fue su vida, sus decisiones su voz, interpretacion y sentimiento lo han llevado a perpetuarse para siempre en nuestra musica.
@@aaronaguirre3914 Yo siempre he sabido que Roberto Cantoral la escribió cuando iba en un vuelo hacia el funeral de su madre y la escribió por ella. Nunca había oído que la escribió por su hermano.
Las personas que viste en el público son cantantes muy famosos de la época de los 60s y ellos no conocían a José José y estaban extasiados con su actuación.
In Mexico it was considered high class to adhere to European culture, specially in that era. So I don't doubt that you are right. Either way Jose Jose is like a singing god for many of us so I'm not surprised you're getting a little backlash.
Questa canzone non parla di una storia d'amore ...ma della storia di lui e sua madre...e le persone che si vedono nel pubblico che lo guardano fisso...sono dei cantanti messicani famosissimi....l'uomo con la bocca aperta nel pubblico è un grandissimo cantante messicano...chiamato IL LUSSO DEL MESSICO!!!.....QUESTO JOSÉ JOSÉ...MORTO IL 28/09/2019 , VENIVA E VIENE CHIAMATO...IL PRINCIPE DELLA CANZONE ....E IN QUESTO FESTIVAL DEL VIDEO ....NON HA VINTO IL PRIMO, MA IL SECONDO POSTO😉....QUALCHE ANNO FA I RAGAZZI DI IL VOLO L'HANNO CANTATA QUESTA CANZONE IN UN OMAGGIO CHE HANNO FATTO AL PRINCIPE A MIAMI😉
Esta presentación fue épica, quizás te faltaron algunos datos para que apreciaras lo complejo de lograr una interpretación así, pero me encanto tu reacción...gracias por recordar a nuestro Príncipe de la Canción. Descanse en Paz. Saludos desde México.
ALMA CECILIA SALGADO VALENZUELA no puede llegar a sentir al gran José José por falta de dominio del idioma, cada ves que veo videos de gente reaccionando al príncipe, terminó llorando yo 😆
I remember watching this performance on TV back in 1970. I was 9 years old. I also remember how it made me feel . It was an amazing performance. I am very happy to have been one of his first fans, I recognized his talent immediately. I was so mesmerized when I heard this song for the first time. It made me cry. He sung it with so much feeling of sorrow and deep love because he knew the song's writer wrote it in memory of his mother. He will always be remembered as "The Prince of Song" There will never be another Jose Jose. His legacy has been imprinted forever in his songs. May he RIP.
Frank Sinatra became a fan after listening to this which was Jose Jose coming out party to the world in a international festival Frank Sinatra wanted to record this song RIP Jose Jose 👑
""El Triste" is a song written by Mexican composer Roberto Cantoral. It was performed for the first time on March 15, 1970, at the "Latin Song Festival II" (a competition) by the Mexican singer José José. " This song came in 3rd. 😉 The Italian version was the cover & im sure it was just as beautiful.
There is no “Italian version”; this song is very similar to the Italian song “Tu si’na cosa grande” by Domenico Modugno, published in 1964, so “El Triste” would be the “cover”.
This was a singing competition, believe it or not he got third place. And the singers that got first and second place were never heard from again. Jose Jose became famous and beloved in Latin America and the USA. His father was an opera singer and this is where Jose Jose gets allot of the technic for the long notes and amazing breathing. Now let’s talk about the song and the genius song writer Roberto Cantoral (whom by the way wrote an son called “al final” Sang by Emanuel a year after Jose Jose in the same competition and won first place). Roberto Cantoral wrote this song “el triste” many years before Jose Jose sang it. So your theory of it being originally from an Italian composer may be wrong as Cantoral wrote a number of songs that were made popular years after being written. All in all Jose Jose was an amazing singer, amazing human and we all morn for his loss to this world and the impact he made to music lovers everywhere. Dios te tenga en su gloria Jose Jose.
Sinatra was in love with Jose Jose’s voice... He invited him to make a duet but it wasnt possible because Jose Jose’s record label didnt allow him. About this presentation, it was a latinamerican music contest, and surprisingly he didnt win. It was the first time ever that he showed this song to the world, even before the recorded version.
Amigo entiendes español? Inf general este artista "José José" como buen bohemio y santo patrono mínimo van 3 generaciones los que crecemos con sus canciones nací en 1975 y en mi juventud me emborrache con sus canciones ahora ya mis sobrinos de 14 y 22 años les gusta sus canciones sin mencionar mi hermano y sobrino de 22 y 28 años o sea en realidad son 4 generaciones. Otro dato esa canción fue la primera Vez que la canto en vivo totalmente todo mágico orquesta público e interpretación jose jose en ese tiempo tiene 22 años. PD para cualquier mexicano roro del corazón ha curado sus heridas y llorado con estas canciones.
¡¡Viva por siempre el Príncipe¡¡ se hace inmortal. en sus magistrales interpretaciones. Que sigan sus canciones de generación en generación. Saludos desde España
@@osiruchos707 que dices??? América un país??? Jajaja jajaja jajaja, no amig@, ese país que tú dices solo se ha dedicado a robar y por ende ni siquiera tiene un nombre, es por eso que hasta quieren robar el nombre de toooooodo un continente. USA, es eso un nombre??? Estados unidos de norte América mmmmm, que te parece esto: Estados Unidos Mexicanos, México también está en norte América. Ese país se llama gringolandia, así de fácil.
José José was a Mexican singer (he recently passed away). Both his parents were opera singers, which explains his singing technique. Although ONLY the beginning of the song resembles “Tu Sina Cosa Grande”, it actually was an original song by Roberto Cantoral, a Mexican composer, and the song was representing México in a Latín American Festival in March of 1970. I hope this helps clarify some of the questions you had. I enjoyed your review. Thank you 😊
Dude, with all respect, I've heard Tu si na cosa grande and theres just like the second verse of that song that sounds a little bit similar. I think you just went with the idea of El triste being a cover/adaptation from that song and that totally ruined your "first time listening", cause this song was an original composition made for this show, it was called "The OTI" and lots of countries participate in it. Unfortunately, even if Jose Jose's performance was so outstanding, it placed 3rd, not even won the 1st price. :'(
@@FrankValchiria To be Frank, you were acting as if everything revolved around your culture. I get what you were trying to say, but it really didn't come off right. I see that you still respect those you have offended in the comments. I still want to sub to you. Let's just take this as a learning experience. I'm sure a year from now, if you are still doing TH-cam, you will be able to present yourself a whole lot better. And you will look back at this video and think, "Well damn, how naive of me". I'll check back on you after I see you do a video on Juan Gabriel's live performance. We all know that will happen eventually.
His father was a Soprano. Frank Sinatra heard him and invited him to sing with him.. But his firm didnt allow him... Frank Sinatra called him "im the king, you are the prince" .. Now about the melody its very interesting you connected to another famous song.. Ill do my search. It is important becuase in this Festival in fact is for the innovative song, composition and Singer. He didnt wim the first place but definitely he won, and everyone gave him (public) the victory
"Everyone says I am so sad.....that I am only thinking about your love....they do not know, that thinking about your love, I could help myself to keep alive"
Jose Jose was a Jazz Bassist and his father was a Big Band leader. Jose was a true musician and used his voice as an instrument. Truly a once in a lifetime singer. I'm American but when I first saw this video I became an instant fan. His early albums are some of the best because he plays bass and guitar on them as well. A true Legend!
extraordinary Mexican singer who just passed away, about the video you just saw, this was a singing competition and he got 3rd place but if you google who the winner was all you can find is him, the pretty lady in the vid is singer Angelica Maria, named Mexico's sweetheart, the guy with the "wow" face another well known singer Marco Antonio Muñoz, the guy with the cigarret in his hand is Alberto Vazquez also well establish singer and actor, the guy at the end with the red blazer is Andres Garcia, another celebrity at the time, the people on the table giving him a standing ovation are the judges of the competition, back in the day a standing ovation was BIG!! so yes, im happy you got to experience this amazing performance, thanks for your reaction!!!
This is an original song. You can't even begin to understand the depth of feeling Jose Jose was able to convey through his music. He is known as the "Prince of Song" in all of Latin America.
Jose Jose 😭😭❤❤RIP, but his voice will live for ever!

I am glad that you are "discovering" this Mexican national treasure and cultural and artistic proud, a prodigious voice as their colleagues said at that moment. A little late, but... I have to say to you that José José, our "Prince of Song" in México, was the son of a tenor and vocal coach of many important Mexican singers in those years, and his mom was a piano concert player. This precise theme was sung by him at the most important Hispano-American contest for more than 20 years, OTI Festival, pull him not only to fame but to universality. Was his first performance in a more professional way, but also the beginning of his doom. In the video, it is possible to watch the astonishing and wonder of famous and very important colleagues at that moment, like our "Diamond" Marco Antonio Muñiz or our "Bride of Mexico" Angélica María. Their faces say everything. I still remember that performance as yesterday. This other one was his last performance, hear the voice. Even the drugs and alcohol destroyed him, his proud and dignity singing was a living example to many people around the world. th-cam.com/video/TNWp05sKFTQ/w-d-xo.html. From Mexico to the world and forever. Long live to the Prince of Song. By the way, the surname Prince of Song started that day also, because his clothes and presence, and was created by the great Cuban singer (present among the audience then) Olga Guillot. She was also his Fairy Godmother. I also watched your reaction to "Amar y Querer" and I have to say that, even in that period José José was completely submerged in drugs, he was so disciplined to keep that amazing voice and quality that could be the envy to many deaf singers and musicians today too concentrated in the rhythm and loud. On the other hand, it is so sad that new artists are so... I do not how to say to not sound offensive... without memory that can't see what is going on outside the modern tendencies and where they come. And, about your comment related to Domenico Modugno, "Tu si na cosa grande pe me" (th-cam.com/video/tkBdvDdE_lU/w-d-xo.html), I had 7 years old then and José José had 22 years old, so belive me those are two very different songs and compositions, but... I remember that, just in those 70s and until the 80s there was a strong discussion, because the similarity of compositions, French, Italian and Latin American, was common, until the norm was determined internationally, if two songs present more than 15 measures equal, similar or identical, it is enough to declare plagiarism to the second. Perhaps "El Triste" was saved by a hair of demand. I remember also, that was one of the alleged reasons because the song didn't win the international contest, but winning the third prize. To help you to understand the history of this song I share with you this video, among other similar: th-cam.com/video/-bvIqwGni7w/w-d-xo.html
When you were talking about the melodrama of the lyrics "Without each other we are bound to disappear!" I was laughing so hard I nearly spilled my coffee. So, so true! But you have to admit Jose Jose emotes this very beautifully :) It's sad because today this kind of emotion in music is sorely lacking. Long live the 70s! RIP Jose Jose. In Mexico he was known as "El Príncipe." Thank you for the enlightening commentary, Frank!
He is a famous Mexican singer who passed away about 3 weeks ago. He was huge in Latin America. His father was a tenor and his mother was a soprano (I think) both of his parents played different instrument, so was jose Jose. His music is incredible. His Goodson is a famous Singer too Christian Castro and he did a tribute to his music. He also have an amazing voice.
Even Gene Simmons listens to José José, he declared this in an interview in México. It is an original song by the great Mexican composer Roberto Cantoral.
the thing you should know is that he was barely known before that day, the people cheering for him arent his fans. most of them are singers in the audience. And this is the first time anyone had heard this song, it was a brand new fresh first time performed not yet recorded song. the audience was cheering for him simply because he was representing mexico in this song competition and the event was in mexico.
"El Triste" ("The Sad One") is a song written by Mexican composer Roberto Cantoral. It was performed for the first time on March 15, 1970, at the "Latin Song Festival II" (predecessor of the OTI Festival) by the Mexican singer José José. (El Triste on TH-cam) El Triste was included on his third studio album.
This song was originally written from Mr.Cantoral and in this festival on 1970 was the very first time ever Jose Jose sang it..and YES he has a very opera voice because his dad was a very good famous opera singer back then.
Men, if you got to know José José and Luis Miguel on the same day... Damn you must have been blown away that day. I've grown my whole life loving and listening to them and can't even imagine how it must feel to live a life without them.
The guy at 07:28 is not just any man in the audience. He was the best singer of that genre in Mexico at that time: Marco Antonio Muñiz, aka "the luxury of Mexico" or simply "the voice". The silly face that makes the "best romantic voice of Mexico" of that time is very relevant, it's like the king is listening to God Himself. It's like "I am the best voice, but now already know I am nothing". It's tremendous.
José José known in Mexico as The Prince of the song, that´s why in this video he was using an outfit like the "Principito" (Le Petit Prince book written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) his lirycs are so popular in México that a lot of our parents relationships were related to some of his songs, he sadly passed away on September 2019, he and Juan Gabriel are the most popular singers in México and their songs will be remained in our lives for ever. Saludos from Mexico.
It’s interesting what you say about the Domenico Modugno’s song. It sounds really similar, but El Triste is credited to Roberto Cantoral. I don’t know if there was any legal action because of it.
The song is original from Mexico composed by Roberto Cantoral and performed for the first time by Jose Jose and the song is "El triste" that talks about the loss of his mother and that he is always sad and thinking about her
I love your comments about our Mexican music ... thanks for your comment from a professional person and I congratulate you for it ... a hug my friend from a Mexican
One good day in 1973, American singer Frank Sinatra got engaged in his Reprise Records offices in Los Angeles, California, when he heard José José in ambient music. He immediately asked to find the Mexican singer. Sinatra wanted to record an album with "Prince of the Song" on Reprise Records. José José, accepted immediately, but the duet did not materialize. The reason: José José had a contract as an exclusive artist of RCA Víctor and the company prevented him from recording that album on Reprise Records. According to the autobiographical book of the singer "This is my life", the situation led him to depression and drinking alcohol for weeks, while listening to Sinatra's records. But Sinatra did not cease to be professionally interested in the Mexican singer. Four years later, he traveled to the border city of Tijuana, in Baja California, to see José José at the Flamingos nightclub
El era, es, y será el príncipe de la canción. José José tenía 22 años y si el canto con franck Sinatra. Pero no se puede comparar con él ya que José tiene mejor voz. Que descanse en paz.💞
This is the first time I saw your channel and I found it simply fascinating. As a Mexican I can tell you it was a great loss that José José passed away. I recommend you to hear New York, New York (a spanish version of the famous Sinatra's song). I just though about it as you mentioned Sinatra in this video. José José is and always will be one of the greatest singers from México and Latin America.
The original writer is by a Mexican song writer by the name of Roberto Cantoral who wrote it in honor of his mother who he had lost,the song was so popular that it was translated into many many languages.

This is the first original song composed by Mexican Roberto Cantoral he was raiding this when his mother died and offers to this singer Jose Jose to participate a that time for this festival OTI 1970 song El Triste he was on 3 place.
Efectivamente al escuchar ambas canciones te das cuenta de que son muy similares. Yo creo que muy pocas personas de éste lado del mundo habrán escuchado la versión del italiano Domenico Modugno. Y con la muy reciente muerte de José José algunos comentarios serán de molestia, pero así somos los mexicanos, apasionados! Cabe mencionar que la canción El Triste original de Roberto Cantoral fue escrita después de la muerte de su madre, no es una canción de desamor como muchos piensan y fue presentada en el II festival mundial de la canción latina, dónde, se dice, los jueces no supieron cómo calificar la interpretación de José José dándole el tercer lugar. Sin embargo, todos creyeron que era el ganador sin corona, ya que el primer y el segundo lugar de ese festival, nadie los recuerda. Fue un gusto ver por primera vez tu video, te seguiré viendo de hoy en adelante, saludos Frank!
*If you care to know, the show name was Festival OTI and it was for every Latin American country to send a representative. He got third or 2nd place. If you search OTI you will find a lot of great singers from all Latin American countries* It was the World Cup of Music...lol
Hi Frank Saludos de Monterrey Mexico Roberto Cantoral composed the song "the sad" after the death of his mother, in which he recounts the pain of losing his greatest love, that love that makes him feel complete, after the absence, distance and separation, How sad was to say goodbye When we worshiped more Until the swallow emigro Heralding the end. How sad everything looks without you The seas of the beaches go away The colors of gray are dyed Today everything is loneliness. I don't know, if I see you again later, I don't know what my life will be Without the blue star of your being, That doesn't light me anymore, Today I want to taste my pain ... No, I ask for compassion and mercy The story of this love was written for eternity. How sad, everyone says that I am I'm always talking about you They don't know that, thinking of your love, 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, no, I ask for compassion and mercy The story of this love was written for eternity, How sad everyone says that I am I'm always talking about you They don't 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.
The king of breath control. His composer's would sometimes ask him to not hold notes so long , but he was like nope..... this is my gift. He was 22 or 24yrs old. Very well developed vocals for his age in this era. And very good instrumentalist .
SI,, DOMENICO MODUGNO,, WE KNEW HIM IN MEXICO,, WE LISTENED THE ITALIAN VERSION "TU SI NA COSA GRANDE: TOO BUT ITS NOT THE SAME,,, AND SOME OTHER ITALIANO/AS SINGERS.
in the video i mention that the songs el triste reminds me melodically of an older napoletan song called : tu si na cosa grande by domenico modugno . my thoughts on weather el trise was an interpretation, came from the fact that in those days it was a very common practice to license the melody of a song to some other artist or lyricist . in no way i intended to diminish one song or elevate the other was purely an observation. i loved jose jose voice and performance and have indulged in more videos. and thanks to this video i've discovered luis miguel and juan gabriel :)

“El triste” primera ocasión en que fue interpretada después de ser escrita y antes de ser grabada en un disco, hasta el día de hoy nadie a podido interpretarla con la misma intensidad y afinación como lo hizo el maestro Jose José
Nadie como José José, pero Manuel José no lo hace mal. 😉
Acording with the map México is in North América
And Besides...America is all the continent....USA is not America.
Raul Esquivel thank you! I was about to type that. I don’t know why some people
Think that the only North America applies to the USA. 😑
hay mapas que colocan a Mexico en Centro América por cuestiones geográficas, económicas, comerciales, históricas y culturales .
Sí, pero es un error muy grande.
Geográficamente es parte de Norteamérica.
I think the Globe shows the same. 🧐
OTI was international compention in Latinamerica...rules included no pros singer, original liriks, etc.
Jose Jose. el mejor interprete mexicano de nuestra historia. Un icono ya de nuestra cultura. Nuestro "Principe de la Cancion" por siempre el mejor. Por encima de lo que fue su vida, sus decisiones su voz, interpretacion y sentimiento lo han llevado a perpetuarse para siempre en nuestra musica.

Sinatra wanted to sing with Jose Jose but his music record company said no for some reason.
This is not a cover and José José was proposed to sing with Frank Sinatra, but because of differences betwen this record companies ir was not posible.
It's not a romantic love song. The author wrote for his mother when she died.
Yes but you know how we can make any song our own and make it a romantic song. We've done that with Juan Gabriel' sons as well
The song it was for his brother not his mom
lapambo hi 🌹
@@aaronaguirre3914 Yo siempre he sabido que Roberto Cantoral la escribió cuando iba en un vuelo hacia el funeral de su madre y la escribió por ella. Nunca había oído que la escribió por su hermano.
Acireh64 M. Exactamente así fue.
Jajajaja in your face !!! José José el mejor!!! Saludos!!!
Las personas que viste en el público son cantantes muy famosos de la época de los 60s y ellos no conocían a José José y estaban extasiados con su actuación.
In Mexico it was considered high class to adhere to European culture, specially in that era. So I don't doubt that you are right. Either way Jose Jose is like a singing god for many of us so I'm not surprised you're getting a little backlash.
Questa canzone non parla di una storia d'amore ...ma della storia di lui e sua madre...e le persone che si vedono nel pubblico che lo guardano fisso...sono dei cantanti messicani famosissimi....l'uomo con la bocca aperta nel pubblico è un grandissimo cantante messicano...chiamato IL LUSSO DEL MESSICO!!!.....QUESTO JOSÉ JOSÉ...MORTO IL 28/09/2019 , VENIVA E VIENE CHIAMATO...IL PRINCIPE DELLA CANZONE ....E IN QUESTO FESTIVAL DEL VIDEO ....NON HA VINTO IL PRIMO, MA IL SECONDO POSTO😉....QUALCHE ANNO FA I RAGAZZI DI IL VOLO L'HANNO CANTATA QUESTA CANZONE IN UN OMAGGIO CHE HANNO FATTO AL PRINCIPE A MIAMI😉
Esta presentación fue épica, quizás te faltaron algunos datos para que apreciaras lo complejo de lograr una interpretación así, pero me encanto tu reacción...gracias por recordar a nuestro Príncipe de la Canción. Descanse en Paz. Saludos desde México.
ALMA CECILIA SALGADO VALENZUELA no puede llegar a sentir al gran José José por falta de dominio del idioma, cada ves que veo videos de gente reaccionando al príncipe, terminó llorando yo 😆

Not south american singer, mexican singer, México is in north América bro
Yo soy sur americano y siempre creen que soy mexicano y eso me enorgullece a ti no que te digan suramericano?
Es geografia basica.
Neee los mexicanos somos norteamericanos por concepto de geografía y latinoamericanos por las regiones derivadas del latín MUY DIFERENTE!

THIS SONG IT'S 100% ORIGINAL, A MEXICAN SONG BY ROBERTO CANTORAL.
I remember watching this performance on TV back in 1970. I was 9 years old. I also remember how it made me feel . It was an amazing performance. I am very happy to have been one of his first fans, I recognized his talent immediately. I was so mesmerized when I heard this song for the first time. It made me cry. He sung it with so much feeling of sorrow and deep love because he knew the song's writer wrote it in memory of his mother. He will always be remembered as "The Prince of Song"
There will never be another Jose Jose. His legacy has been imprinted forever in his songs. May he RIP.
Frank Sinatra became a fan after listening to this which was Jose Jose coming out party to the world in a international festival Frank Sinatra wanted to record this song RIP Jose Jose 👑
José Jose solo tenía 22 años que nivel Dios mío...maestro con solo 22 años....
♥️🇨🇱🇲🇽
Can you imagine being in that audience in 1970 and being the first people to ever hear this song. I could have died happy
""El Triste" is a song written by Mexican composer Roberto Cantoral. It was performed for the first time on March 15, 1970, at the "Latin Song Festival II" (a competition) by the Mexican singer José José. " This song came in 3rd. 😉
The Italian version was the cover & im sure it was just as beautiful.
There is no “Italian version”; this song is very similar to the Italian song “Tu si’na cosa grande” by Domenico Modugno, published in 1964, so “El Triste” would be the “cover”.
This was a singing competition, believe it or not he got third place. And the singers that got first and second place were never heard from again. Jose Jose became famous and beloved in Latin America and the USA. His father was an opera singer and this is where Jose Jose gets allot of the technic for the long notes and amazing breathing. Now let’s talk about the song and the genius song writer Roberto Cantoral (whom by the way wrote an son called “al final” Sang by Emanuel a year after Jose Jose in the same competition and won first place). Roberto Cantoral wrote this song “el triste” many years before Jose Jose sang it. So your theory of it being originally from an Italian composer may be wrong as Cantoral wrote a number of songs that were made popular years after being written. All in all Jose Jose was an amazing singer, amazing human and we all morn for his loss to this world and the impact he made to music lovers everywhere. Dios te tenga en su gloria Jose Jose.
Frank Sinatra said Jose Jose was one of his favorite singers
The fact that you react to this legend makes me feel honored. RIP Jose Jose. Just passed away september 28. Hello from Mexico! 😘
Canción 100% Mexicana de Roberto Cantoral e interpretada Magistralmente por nuestro José José 🇲🇽❤
Sinatra was in love with Jose Jose’s voice... He invited him to make a duet but it wasnt possible because Jose Jose’s record label didnt allow him.
About this presentation, it was a latinamerican music contest, and surprisingly he didnt win. It was the first time ever that he showed this song to the world, even before the recorded version.
Well, what you saw is an international song festival, so the song is 100% original
Amigo entiendes español? Inf general este artista "José José" como buen bohemio y santo patrono mínimo van 3 generaciones los que crecemos con sus canciones nací en 1975 y en mi juventud me emborrache con sus canciones ahora ya mis sobrinos de 14 y 22 años les gusta sus canciones sin mencionar mi hermano y sobrino de 22 y 28 años o sea en realidad son 4 generaciones.
Otro dato esa canción fue la primera Vez que la canto en vivo totalmente todo mágico orquesta público e interpretación jose jose en ese tiempo tiene 22 años.
PD para cualquier mexicano roro del corazón ha curado sus heridas y llorado con estas canciones.
Amén hermano, saludos desde Hidalgo 🇲🇽

José José was a Mexican singer (he recently passed away). Both his parents were opera singers, which explains his singing technique. Although ONLY the beginning of the song resembles “Tu Sina Cosa Grande”, it actually was an original song by Roberto Cantoral, a Mexican composer, and the song was representing México in a Latín American Festival in March of 1970. I hope this helps clarify some of the questions you had.
I enjoyed your review.
Thank you 😊
Mexico it's part of North America
Jose Jose is from Mexico

José José was 22 yrs old back then,he just past away this month at the age of 68! One of the best voices of the modern times! Salutes from California!
Dude, with all respect, I've heard Tu si na cosa grande and theres just like the second verse of that song that sounds a little bit similar. I think you just went with the idea of El triste being a cover/adaptation from that song and that totally ruined your "first time listening", cause this song was an original composition made for this show, it was called "The OTI" and lots of countries participate in it. Unfortunately, even if Jose Jose's performance was so outstanding, it placed 3rd, not even won the 1st price. :'(
didn't ruin it, i was just thinking. jose is impressive
@@FrankValchiria You ruined
@@klowjp what do you mean?
@@FrankValchiria : yes you totally ruined because your attitude is not good i think you are laughing on him ! Respect people okkkk??
@@FrankValchiria To be Frank, you were acting as if everything revolved around your culture. I get what you were trying to say, but it really didn't come off right. I see that you still respect those you have offended in the comments. I still want to sub to you. Let's just take this as a learning experience. I'm sure a year from now, if you are still doing TH-cam, you will be able to present yourself a whole lot better. And you will look back at this video and think, "Well damn, how naive of me". I'll check back on you after I see you do a video on Juan Gabriel's live performance. We all know that will happen eventually.
This song was written on 1969 by Roberto Cantoral and was written when he was flying to the funeral of his mother...
His father was a Soprano. Frank Sinatra heard him and invited him to sing with him.. But his firm didnt allow him... Frank Sinatra called him "im the king, you are the prince" .. Now about the melody its very interesting you connected to another famous song.. Ill do my search. It is important becuase in this Festival in fact is for the innovative song, composition and Singer. He didnt wim the first place but definitely he won, and everyone gave him (public) the victory
his father was a tenor . soprano is a type of classical female singing voice .
7:30 the guy with the open mouth is another Mexican singer; Marco Antonio Muñiz "el lujo de México" (the luxury of Mexico)
Jose jose born in mexico , but he is internationally loved ... A latin American artist loved everywhere people spoke spanish .
a little taste of México:
Juan Gabriel - Hasta Que Te Conocí (En Vivo [Desde el Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes])
Blow your mind!!!
This song was sung for the first time in the "Festival OTI" nobody had sung it before . And after this it was recorded by José José
"Everyone says I am so sad.....that I am only thinking about your love....they do not know, that thinking about your love, I could help myself to keep alive"
(Sorry) ...that I am always talking about our love (instead of thinking....)
El príncipe de la canción José José. El reeeyyyyyy por siempre
Jose Jose was a Jazz Bassist and his father was a Big Band leader. Jose was a true musician and used his voice as an instrument. Truly a once in a lifetime singer. I'm American but when I first saw this video I became an instant fan. His early albums are some of the best because he plays bass and guitar on them as well. A true Legend!
I believe you were not even listening, but comparing all the time and that did not let you appreciate his wonderful performance.
Sinatra himself say.....I´m the american José José.
Sinatras admire him, José José pass almost a month ago, he lost his voice
Jose Jose was Frank Sinatra’s favorite singer. Go figured
extraordinary Mexican singer who just passed away, about the video you just saw, this was a singing competition and he got 3rd place but if you google who the winner was all you can find is him, the pretty lady in the vid is singer Angelica Maria, named Mexico's sweetheart, the guy with the "wow" face another well known singer Marco Antonio Muñoz, the guy with the cigarret in his hand is Alberto Vazquez also well establish singer and actor, the guy at the end with the red blazer is Andres Garcia, another celebrity at the time, the people on the table giving him a standing ovation are the judges of the competition, back in the day a standing ovation was BIG!! so yes, im happy you got to experience this amazing performance, thanks for your reaction!!!
7:28 como Marco Antonio Muñiz quedo en la baba y luego Frank 7:42 jaja
This is an original song. You can't even begin to understand the depth of feeling Jose Jose was able to convey through his music. He is known as the "Prince of Song" in all of Latin America.
Thx for react to this great singer. Pride of our beloved Mexico. He passed away one month ago. September 28, 2019. Greetings from Missouri...
Jose Jose 😭😭❤❤RIP, but his voice will live for ever!
I am glad that you are "discovering" this Mexican national treasure and cultural and artistic proud, a prodigious voice as their colleagues said at that moment. A little late, but... I have to say to you that José José, our "Prince of Song" in México, was the son of a tenor and vocal coach of many important Mexican singers in those years, and his mom was a piano concert player. This precise theme was sung by him at the most important Hispano-American contest for more than 20 years, OTI Festival, pull him not only to fame but to universality. Was his first performance in a more professional way, but also the beginning of his doom. In the video, it is possible to watch the astonishing and wonder of famous and very important colleagues at that moment, like our "Diamond" Marco Antonio Muñiz or our "Bride of Mexico" Angélica María. Their faces say everything. I still remember that performance as yesterday. This other one was his last performance, hear the voice. Even the drugs and alcohol destroyed him, his proud and dignity singing was a living example to many people around the world. th-cam.com/video/TNWp05sKFTQ/w-d-xo.html. From Mexico to the world and forever. Long live to the Prince of Song. By the way, the surname Prince of Song started that day also, because his clothes and presence, and was created by the great Cuban singer (present among the audience then) Olga Guillot. She was also his Fairy Godmother.
I also watched your reaction to "Amar y Querer" and I have to say that, even in that period José José was completely submerged in drugs, he was so disciplined to keep that amazing voice and quality that could be the envy to many deaf singers and musicians today too concentrated in the rhythm and loud.
On the other hand, it is so sad that new artists are so... I do not how to say to not sound offensive... without memory that can't see what is going on outside the modern tendencies and where they come.
And, about your comment related to Domenico Modugno, "Tu si na cosa grande pe me" (th-cam.com/video/tkBdvDdE_lU/w-d-xo.html), I had 7 years old then and José José had 22 years old, so belive me those are two very different songs and compositions, but... I remember that, just in those 70s and until the 80s there was a strong discussion, because the similarity of compositions, French, Italian and Latin American, was common, until the norm was determined internationally, if two songs present more than 15 measures equal, similar or identical, it is enough to declare plagiarism to the second. Perhaps "El Triste" was saved by a hair of demand. I remember also, that was one of the alleged reasons because the song didn't win the international contest, but winning the third prize.
To help you to understand the history of this song I share with you this video, among other similar: th-cam.com/video/-bvIqwGni7w/w-d-xo.html
When you were talking about the melodrama of the lyrics "Without each other we are bound to disappear!" I was laughing so hard I nearly spilled my coffee. So, so true! But you have to admit Jose Jose emotes this very beautifully :) It's sad because today this kind of emotion in music is sorely lacking.
Long live the 70s! RIP Jose Jose. In Mexico he was known as "El Príncipe." Thank you for the enlightening commentary, Frank!
He is a famous Mexican singer who passed away about 3 weeks ago. He was huge in Latin America. His father was a tenor and his mother was a soprano (I think) both of his parents played different instrument, so was jose Jose. His music is incredible. His Goodson is a famous Singer too Christian Castro and he did a tribute to his music. He also have an amazing voice.
Even Gene Simmons listens to José José, he declared this in an interview in México. It is an original song by the great Mexican composer Roberto Cantoral.
the thing you should know is that he was barely known before that day, the people cheering for him arent his fans. most of them are singers in the audience. And this is the first time anyone had heard this song, it was a brand new fresh first time performed not yet recorded song. the audience was cheering for him simply because he was representing mexico in this song competition and the event was in mexico.
I knew it, I knew the song sounded italian because I hear this type of music when I watch giallo films.
That song was made and dedicated to a mothers death, not to a woman's love...
El comentario que andaba buscando...gracias!
The song EL TRISTE after translated into several countries
En serio?
"El Triste" ("The Sad One") is a song written by Mexican composer Roberto Cantoral. It was performed for the first time on March 15, 1970, at the "Latin Song Festival II" (predecessor of the OTI Festival) by the Mexican singer José José. (El Triste on TH-cam) El Triste was included on his third studio album.
This song was originally written from Mr.Cantoral and in this festival on 1970 was the very first time ever Jose Jose sang it..and YES he has a very opera voice because his dad was a very good famous opera singer back then.
Men, if you got to know José José and Luis Miguel on the same day... Damn you must have been blown away that day. I've grown my whole life loving and listening to them and can't even imagine how it must feel to live a life without them.
The man of the 7:28 is "Marco Antonio Muñiz" another famous singer you should listen his music.
Sorry for my bad english I'm still learning
The guy at 07:28 is not just any man in the audience. He was the best singer of that genre in Mexico at that time: Marco Antonio Muñiz, aka "the luxury of Mexico" or simply "the voice". The silly face that makes the "best romantic voice of Mexico" of that time is very relevant, it's like the king is listening to God Himself. It's like "I am the best voice, but now already know I am nothing". It's tremendous.
José José known in Mexico as The Prince of the song, that´s why in this video he was using an outfit like the "Principito" (Le Petit Prince book written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) his lirycs are so popular in México that a lot of our parents relationships were related to some of his songs, he sadly passed away on September 2019, he and Juan Gabriel are the most popular singers in México and their songs will be remained in our lives for ever. Saludos from Mexico.
It’s interesting what you say about the Domenico Modugno’s song. It sounds really similar, but El Triste is credited to Roberto Cantoral. I don’t know if there was any legal action because of it.
The song is original from Mexico composed by Roberto Cantoral and performed for the first time by Jose Jose and the song is "El triste" that talks about the loss of his mother and that he is always sad and thinking about her
Me dió como orgullo cuando dijo que por la reacción de la audiencia José José ha de ser mexicano.
OMG, it´s true, the song of Domenico Modugno is a little similar to "el triste", but the lyrics and rhythm of the music are different
I love your comments about our Mexican music ... thanks for your comment from a professional person and I congratulate you for it ... a hug my friend from a Mexican
Jose Jose came at number three in this contest, yet the winner is nowhere to be seen.
One good day in 1973, American singer Frank Sinatra got engaged in his Reprise Records offices in Los Angeles, California, when he heard José José in ambient music. He immediately asked to find the Mexican singer.
Sinatra wanted to record an album with "Prince of the Song" on Reprise Records. José José, accepted immediately, but the duet did not materialize.
The reason: José José had a contract as an exclusive artist of RCA Víctor and the company prevented him from recording that album on Reprise Records.
According to the autobiographical book of the singer "This is my life", the situation led him to depression and drinking alcohol for weeks, while listening to Sinatra's records.
But Sinatra did not cease to be professionally interested in the Mexican singer. Four years later, he traveled to the border city of Tijuana, in Baja California, to see José José at the Flamingos nightclub
If I'm not wrong this song where created by Roberto Cantoral when he was flying to he's mom funeral, he wrote this letters in memory of he's mom.
Thank you for your reaction 🙏👍 he didn't win the contest but he won the heart of many people in Mexico his life was a little tragic
El era, es, y será el príncipe de la canción. José José tenía 22 años y si el canto con franck Sinatra. Pero no se puede comparar con él ya que José tiene mejor voz. Que descanse en paz.💞
Su papá era cantante de opera. His father was an opera singer.
Jose Jose died recently. The prince of the song. We will miss him very much.
Jose Jose gran gran gran cantante!!!
This is the first time I saw your channel and I found it simply fascinating. As a Mexican I can tell you it was a great loss that José José passed away. I recommend you to hear New York, New York (a spanish version of the famous Sinatra's song). I just though about it as you mentioned Sinatra in this video. José José is and always will be one of the greatest singers from México and Latin America.
Y quedó en 3er lugar aquel día.
The original writer is by a Mexican song writer by the name of Roberto Cantoral who wrote it in honor of his mother who he had lost,the song was so popular that it was translated into many many languages.

This is the first original song composed by Mexican Roberto Cantoral he was raiding this when his mother died and offers to this singer Jose Jose to participate a that time for this festival OTI 1970 song El Triste he was on 3 place.
Efectivamente al escuchar ambas canciones te das cuenta de que son muy similares. Yo creo que muy pocas personas de éste lado del mundo habrán escuchado la versión del italiano Domenico Modugno. Y con la muy reciente muerte de José José algunos comentarios serán de molestia, pero así somos los mexicanos, apasionados! Cabe mencionar que la canción El Triste original de Roberto Cantoral fue escrita después de la muerte de su madre, no es una canción de desamor como muchos piensan y fue presentada en el II festival mundial de la canción latina, dónde, se dice, los jueces no supieron cómo calificar la interpretación de José José dándole el tercer lugar. Sin embargo, todos creyeron que era el ganador sin corona, ya que el primer y el segundo lugar de ese festival, nadie los recuerda. Fue un gusto ver por primera vez tu video, te seguiré viendo de hoy en adelante, saludos Frank!
*If you care to know, the show name was Festival OTI and it was for every Latin American country to send a
representative. He got third or 2nd place. If you search OTI you will find a lot of great singers from all Latin American countries*
It was the World Cup of Music...lol
Hi Frank Saludos de Monterrey Mexico
Roberto Cantoral composed the song "the sad" after the death of his mother, in which he recounts the pain of losing his greatest love, that love that makes him feel complete, after the absence, distance and separation, How sad was to say goodbye
When we worshiped more
Until the swallow emigro
Heralding the end.
How sad everything looks without you
The seas of the beaches go away
The colors of gray are dyed
Today everything is loneliness.
I don't know, if I see you again later,
I don't know what my life will be
Without the blue star of your being,
That doesn't light me anymore,
Today I want to taste my pain ...
No, I ask for compassion and mercy
The story of this love was written for eternity.
How sad, everyone says that I am
I'm always talking about you
They don't know that, thinking of your love, 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, no, I ask for compassion and mercy
The story of this love was written for eternity,
How sad everyone says that I am
I'm always talking about you
They don't 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.
🥰 El principe de la cancion 🥰 he was one of the best RIP/DEP 😢 Thank you for reviewing this song, and hopefully you will review more of his music!
The king of breath control. His composer's would sometimes ask him to not hold notes so long , but he was like nope..... this is my gift. He was 22 or 24yrs old. Very well developed vocals for his age in this era. And very good instrumentalist .
SI,, DOMENICO MODUGNO,, WE KNEW HIM IN MEXICO,, WE LISTENED THE ITALIAN VERSION "TU SI NA COSA GRANDE: TOO BUT ITS NOT THE SAME,,, AND SOME OTHER ITALIANO/AS SINGERS.
The song is dramatic because it's about a death and the way a man still love her, no matter what the society says.
Excelent song and great video.
Awebo que si es mexicano la pura reata del mundo ...viva México viva el príncipe por los siglos de los siglos!
