Joselito, el niño prodigio de fama internacional | Carlos Herrera en Canal Sur

1996. Joselito, the singer and actor who triumphed as a child prodigy, interviewed by Carlos Herrera. His life is like a movie, with moments of international fame. Joselito had a marvelous voice as a child and retains a good voice as an adult. Joselito met important figures such as Che Guevara and Pope John XXIII, who was a fan of the child artist: he owned his records and knew some of his songs, which he sang to him in both Spanish and Italian during a visit. From 1960 onwards, he appeared on television in the United States and met Lyndon B. Johnson, who, when he was President of the United States, gave him a hunting rifle. Joselito never had any contact with General Franco, nor did he attend the La Granja festivities because he presented a medical certificate, but he believes that the artist was manipulated. Joselito states that he did not do military service because he was more important as a source of wealth for Spain. Joselito maintains that prison was positive for him because he was able to escape his personal labyrinth. [“The Carlos Herrera Program”, March 1, 1996.
