Rocío Dúrcal

María de los Ángeles de las Heras Ortiz, better known as Rocío Dúrcal, was a Spanish singer and actress. Her career, which spanned more than four decades, began in the 1960s, when she established herself as an actress and singer thanks to the musical films she starred in. Later, she focused exclusively on her musical career, performing canción melódica, boleros, and rancheras, which led her to being considered one of the best Spanish-language singers of all time. In Mexico she earned the sobriquet of Reina de las rancheras. In 1999, she was inducted into the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame for her versatility and anthemic songs. In 2005, she received the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Also in 2005, she received the Life Achievement Award at the Premios de la Música in Spain.
