He also holds the record for the most No.
“Friends, we are dismayed about the passing of our adored Vicente Fernández,” Urieta said in a video. “The last giant of ranchera interpreters. As of now, he is now part of the angelical chorus that sings to God.”“It has been a true honor to work with you all these years. Thank you for everything, my beloved Chente! We will continue to enjoy your divine art, but we’re already missing you. Sending a big hug to your beautiful family that we love so much. Rest in peace.
