Jon Secada(born Juan
Francisco Secada Ramírez; October 4, 1961) is a Cuban American and Afro-Cuban singer

In 1986, Secada was
introduced to Emilio Estefan by his college acquaintances. Estefan listened to
one of Secada's demos and then became Secada's mentor and manager. This led to
Secada becoming a backup singer for Gloria Estefan's Miami Sound Machine.
In 1991 Secada co-wrote
and was a backup singer for "Coming Out of the Dark," a number-one
hit song inspired by a tour-bus accident involving Gloria Estefan in 1990, in
which her back was broken.
In 1992 he released his self-titled
debut album, which sold 7 million copies.
In 1994 he performed a
duet with Frank Sinatra, a re-recording of "The Best Is Yet to Come,"
released on Sinatra's album Duets II. He also performed at the awards for Miss
Venezuela 1994.
In 1995 he performed on
Broadway in Grease, and he also presented at the 49th Tony Awards. He recorded If
I Never Knew You, a duet with Shanice for Pocahontas.
In 1999 he co-wrote and
produced "She's All I Ever Had" for Ricky Martin.
In 2003 he performed in Cabaret.
He also co-wrote Juramento for Ricky Martin.
From 2006 to 2009 Secada
was a judge on Latin American Idol for its entire four-season run.
In 2007 he co-wrote three
songs, and performed in one, on Lilian Garcia's album ¡Quiero Vivir!
Tender was the night
Took an early flight
Rushing' home tonight
Something' wasn't right
I can't believe my eyes
I know I must be dreaming
Did I come home too late, too soon?
You in his arms told me the truth
Too late, too soon
I wish I would have known
I wouldn't have left you all alone
Temptation led you wrong
Tell me how long has this been going on
'Cause I thought our love was strong
But I guess I must be dreaming
Did I come home too late, too soon?
You in his arms told me the truth
Too late, too soon
What was I supposed to do?
You had to see it for yourself (you had to see it for
yourself)
'Cause I thought our love was strong
But I guess I must be dreaming
Did I come home too late, too soon?
You in his arms told me the truth
Too late, too soon.
