Final Curtain Call : Johnny Canales

Johnny Canales, a pioneer of Tejano music, has died at the age of 77.
Just before 8 a.m. on June 13, his wife Nora posted to the El Show de Johnny y Nora Canales Facebook page that he had passed. In the social media post, Canales' wife said Johnny was more than "a beloved husband, father, TV host, musician, and entertainer - he was a beacon of joy for countless people."

Rest in peace, Johnny Canales you are now in heaven with Emilio, Laura Canales, Jimmy Gonzalez, and my favorite singer of all time she is the reason why I still do this day. Listen to Tejano music and that is the queen of Tejano music Selena Quintanilla, Johnny Canales rest in peace, my friend.

Johnny Canales was brilliant, I'll never forget when I was a baby when The Johnny Canales Show was on Univision during cozy Sunday mornings at the time and my family paused their own stuff when Selena is gonna performs in one of the best episodes. Johnny's iconic catchphrase when Tejano music artists are ready to perform, You got it, take it away was forever scarred in my brain. DEP, RIP
