1970

Luis Miguel Gallego Basteri (born 19 April 1970) is a Mexican singer and record producer.

Born in Puerto Rico to an Italian mother and a Spanish father, he is often referred to as El Sol de Mexico (The Sun of Mexico), derived from the nickname his mother gave him as a child: "Mi sol" (My sun).

Luis Miguel has sung in multiple genres and styles, including pop songs, ballads, boleros, tangos, jazz, big band, and mariachi.

1981

Latin pop music, along with his personal life and showmanship on stage, has made Luis Miguel popular for nearly his entire career, which started in Mexico in 1981.

At the age of 14, he received his first Grammy for his duet "Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" with Sheena Easton, making him one of the youngest Grammy-winning artists in music history.

1982

In 1982, he released his first album, Un Sol, by the Mexican branch of EMI Records, which won him his first gold disc at the age of 11.

Two years later, he started touring Latin American countries including Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, and Argentina.

With 1982's Un Sol, he scored a major hit with the single, "1+1=Dos Enamorados".

1983

In 1983, he co-starred in the film Ya Nunca Más (released 1984) and in 1985, Fiebre de amor.

1984

In 1984, Luis Miguel took on a Spanish pop-rock style of music, with the international release of his fourth studio album Palabra de Honor produced by the then Spanish Hispavox director Honorio Herrero.

1985

In 1985, at age 15, he took part in the Sanremo Music Festival, where he won the second place award with his song "Noi Ragazzi Di Oggi".

That same year, he was also presented with the "Antorcha de Plata" Award in the Viña del Mar Music Festival for his duet single "Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" ("I Like You Just As You Are") with Scottish singer Sheena Easton.

1986

In 1986, he took a brief hiatus as his relationship with his father was souring due to alleged mismanagement, poor financial decisions and risking the earnings of his career.

1987

Shortly after signing with Warner Records, in 1987, he fired his father and started to work with Juan Carlos Calderón.

Luis Miguel's album Soy Como Quiero Ser in May 1987 sold well over 2.5 million records.

The album featured Spanish-language adaptations of popular English-language songs, such as "Ahora Te Puedes Marchar" and "Yo Que No Vivo Sin Ti".

1988

On 25 November 1988, Luis Miguel's second album Busca una Mujer was released.

1989

The first single "La Incondicional" became a top-ten hit throughout Latin America in the first half of 1989, and thanks in part to the music video, it spent over seven months on the top ten of many Latin American charts.

The video was shocking to many fans as he had cut his signature long hair.

This cemented his transition from a child star into an adult superstar.

By the end of 1989, the second single "Fría Como el Viento" reached No. 1 on the Hot Latin Tracks.

1990

Luis Miguel is also recognized as the only Latin singer of his generation to not cross over to the Anglo market during the "Latin Explosion" in the 1990s.

In 1990, he made a successful transition from child singer to adult showman with the album 20 Años and an ensuing string of sold-out shows first in Mexico then throughout Latin America and elsewhere in the world.

20 Años sold 600,000 copies in its first week of release and resulted in the release of three singles: "Tengo Todo Excepto A Ti", "Entrégate", and "Amante Del Amor", with the two former hitting number 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks in 1990.

1991

He is also recognized by Billboard as the artist with the most top-10 hits on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart.

In 1991, Luis Miguel's career went to even greater heights and earned him the respect of a wider audience with the release of Romance, an album of romantic boleros, most from the 1950s.
