Google Mexico Celebrates Juan Gabriel With Doodle for Billboard’s No. 1 Anniversary

Google Mexico celebrates Juan Gabriel with a Doodle because on July 15, 1995, "El Palo" was No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart.

For the first time in its history, Google dedicates its famous doodle to one of the greatest figures of Mexican music and his invaluable artistic legacy: Juan Gabriel. To the rhythm of his famous song “Noa, Noa”, Internet users can navigate the 2D illustration, which shows different stages and facets during a fruitful career spanning more than four decades, in which he became a true benchmark of Hispanic music in the world: from his youth on stage, his foray into television, his creative process when writing his songs, as well as his bright and colorful costumes that sealed part of his artistic personality. Juan Gabriel, known internationally for classics such as “Querida” and “Amor Eterno”, died on August 28, 2016 at his home in Santa Monica, California, of natural causes, in the middle of a concert tour.
