Held van Joris Linssen, die in de documentaire 'Met Jou Heb Ik Geleerd' een serenade aan deze Mexicaanse mariachi-legende brengt. "José Alfredo Jiménez was born to be a musician. Singing from earliest memory, he composed his first tunes at the age of nine. Within two years, he had begun recording. Although success was elusive, Alfredo eventually rose to the upper echelon of Mexican music. Beginning with his 1950 breakthrough hit "Yo," recorded with conjunto group Los Costenos, Alfredo was a constant presence on the music charts of Mexico. His lengthy list of hits included such top-sellers as "Cuatro Caminos," "Que Suerte La Mia," and "Ella". His tunes were interpreted by Mexican pop singers, including Lola Beltrán, Lucas Villa, and Amalia "La Toriacuri" Mendoza; as well as international stars, including Vikki Carr and Paul Anka; and appeared in various films. Alfredo succumbed to hepatitis on November 23, 1973."
