High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Odilio Gonzalez was born in 1939 in the center of the island of Puerto Rico, in the small town of Lares. His charm, sweet voice and youthful good looks turned him into a popular child star after a series of early radio performances in the capital city of San Juan. One of Puerto Rico's most renown and beloved popular singers, Odilio Gonzalez has enjoyed an avid following for his expert singing of the island's ancient traditional poetic song form, the decima (also known as "jibaro" music), as well as a crooner of mainstream pop music. His stage name was "Jibarito de Lares". He debuted in 1955 at the age of 16 on the New York City stage, singing before throngs of enthusiastic and nostalgic Puerto Ricans in the famed Teatro Puerto Rico. His first recordings of traditional jibaro singing for the Ansonia label were also made in New York City during that period. He was considered a child prodigy in the music business during the Golden Age of New York jibaro music recordings of the 1950s. Fellow Lares native Jose Feliciano's singing style was heavily influenced by Gonzalez's during his early youth.
