Fans have taken to social media to honor Vicente 'Chente' Fernández, the 81-year-old Mexican singing legend whose death was announced Sunday.
. “He was the voice of a culture. He was the voice of marginalized people. He had a natural, raw talent that rivaled a classically trained opera singer. Often imitated but never replicated. R.I.P. to El Rey.”. “You were the soundtrack of my life. My Mexican parents introduced me to your music. Your songs provided comfort & a sense of home from the first time I left home for basic training throughout all my moves. You were an idol.
Among the many who penned heartfelt tributes to Fernández was TV host and “Saved by the Bell” actor Mario Lopez, who hailed the prolific entertainer as “the voice of a culture who filled the households of many of us who grew up listening to his songs.”Several affectionately recalled listening, singing and drinking along to some of Fernández’s greatest hits, such as the romantic ballad “Volver, Volver” and “El Rey,” which firmly cemented his regal status in the entertainment industry.
