Javier Solis was the third child of a poor family. His mother sent him to live with his aunt and uncle Sra. Angela Lopez Martinez and Sr. Valentin Levario Plata, whom Gabriel felt great love and affection for as if they were his real parents. Because of their poverty, he had to drop out of school and never had the opportunity to attend High School. He was blessed with a very beautiful voice, and entered many singing contests as a child and won most all of them. He worked at many different jobs in order to help his family. When he was 16 years old, he traveled to Puebla in order to sing with a group known as Mariachi Metepec. And then, approximately a couple of years later, two tremendously famous men named Alfredo Gil and Julito Rodriguez (from the Trio De Los Panchos) discovered him and aided him in securing a contract in the year 1950 with the CBS Recording Company in Mexico City. At the same time, he was under contract and singing at a very famous Teatro Lirico, also in downtown Mexico City. That same year, he met a very beautiful dancer by the name of Srta. Blanca Estela Saenz, whom he later married. With his first successful recording hit, he began to use his new "Stage name" of Javier Solis. Then, he began performing in other countries in Central and South-America, and also in the United States too. This man with one of the most beautiful voices in all of Latin-America, made over thirty movies during his short life-time. But his talented genius was cut short at the age of only 34 years by complications from Gall- bladder surgery, and he died on April 19th, 1966. His music has not died, nor has he been forgotten, and his fantastic singing is still available in many countries.- Väinö Tanner was born on 12 March 1881 in Helsinki, Finland.
