Those two Gustavo Arellano pieces are great (esp highlighting the covers/reworkings), as is Carla's tribute. Hadn't seen the Kumbia Kings rework of "No Tengo Dinero" with the kids in the video, awww.
Going to be gauche and link Alfred's obit: https://humanizingthevacuum.wordpress.com/2016/08/28/juan-gabriel-rip/

Those are excellent posts. He did have a somewhat interesting life, the rags to riches story. Oddly enough a telenovela about him was aired this year and it ended the same day he died. Haven't watched it but my mother and my grandmother loved it - this probably means it's not that good but it's an option to learn about his life... We were just talking about the series an hour before his death hit the news. Here's the promo:
