           José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz(Clavería, Azcapotzalco, Ciudad de México, 17 de febrero de 1948-Homestead, Florida, 28 de septiembre de 2019), conocido como José José, fue un cantante, músico, productor discográfico y actor mexicano. Se le considera como un icono musical en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Su legado y trayectoria como cantante le valieron el llegar a ser apodado como El Príncipe de la Canción.
Nacido en una familia de músicos, José comenzó su carrera musical en su adolescencia tocando la guitarra y cantando serenatas. Más tarde se unió a un trío de jazz y bossa nova donde cantó y tocó el bajo y el contrabajo. José encontró el éxito como solista a principios de la década de 1970. Demostrando su habilidad vocal con una impresionante interpretación de la canción «El triste» en el segundo Festival de la Canción Latina celebrado en Ciudad de México en 1970, subió a las listas latinas durante esa década. Habiendo logrado el reconocimiento como baladista, su canto obtuvo la aclamación crítica universal de sus pares musicales y medios de comunicación.
            En la década de los ochenta, después de firmar com Ariola Records, José saltó a la fama internacional como el artista número 1 de México y como uno de los artistas latinos más populares y talentosos. Según datos de Sony BGM, se estima que José José vendió más de 85 millones de copias. Con muchos éxitos internacionales, recibió 9 nominaciones Grammy y numerosos reconocimientos en todo el mundo. Agotó en lugares como Madison Square Garden y Radio City Music Hall donde se ganó el apodo de Mr. Sold Out. Su música llegó a países de habla no española como Japón, Israel y Rusia. También forjó una carrera como actor, protagonizando en películas como Gavilán o paloma(1985), la cual fue una cinta autobiografica sobre su carrera, y Perdóname todo(1995). Adicional a esto, igualmente destaca su participación en la telenovela La fea más bella de 2006.
           Sus presentaciones y estilo vocal influyeron en muchos artistas latinos de diversas partes del mundo en un amplio rango de géneros musicales, en una carrera que abarcó más de cuatro décadas. Debido a su voz y popularidad, José José fue considerado por la audiencia y los medios latinos como un ícono de la música pop latina y uno de los cantantes mexicanos más emblemáticos de su tiempo.
Lo Pasado, Pasado es el nombre del décimo tercer álbum del artista mexicano José José, publicado por Ariola en 1978.
          Este álbum cuenta con composiciones de Juan Gabriel, José María Napoleón, y también una canción con Tom Parker y el propio José José como coautores. Paralelamente se lanzó el sencillo ‘’Lo Pasado Pasado’’, que incluyó en su cara B el tema ‘’Amor Para Los Dos’, escrito por José José, no incluido en el LP.
Amor como el nuestro no hay dos en la vida
Por más que se busque, por más que se esconda
Tú duermes conmigo toditas las noches
Te quedas callada sin ningún reproche
Por eso te quiero, por eso te adoro
Eres en mi vida todo mi tesoro
 
A veces regreso borracho de angustia
Te lleno de besos y caricias mustias
Pero estás dormida, no sientes caricias
Te abrazo a mi pecho, me duermo contigo
Mas luego despierto
Tú no estás conmigo
Solo está mi almohada
 
A veces te miro callada y ausente
Y sufro en silencio como tanta gente
Quisiera gritarte que vuelvas conmigo
Que si aun estoy vivo solo es para amarte
Pero todo pasa y a los sufrimientos
Como a las palabras, se las lleva el viento
 
Por eso regreso borracho de angustia
Te lleno de besos y caricias mustias
Pero estás dormida, no sientes caricias
Te abrazo a mi pecho, me duermo contigo
Mas luego despierto
Tú no estás conmigo
Solo está mi almohada.

Build a fire and gather 'round the tree
Fill a glass and maybe come and sing with me
 
So kiss me under the mistletoe
Pour out the wine, let's toast and pray for December snow
I know there's been pain this year, but it's time to let it go
Next year, you never know
But for now, Merry Christmas
 
We'll dance in the kitchen while embers glow
We've both known love, but this love we got is the best of all
I wish you could see it through my eyes then you would know
My God, you look beautiful right now
Merry Christmas
 
The fire is raging on
And we'll all sing along to the song
Just having so much fun
While we're here, can we all spare a thought
For the ones who have gone?
Merry Christmas, everyone
 
So just keep kissing me under the mistletoe
Pour out the wine, let's toast and pray for December snow
I know there's been pain this year, but it's time to let it go
Next year, you never know
But for now, Merry Christmas
 
We'll dance in the kitchen while embers glow
We've both known love, but this love we got is the best of all
I wish you could see it through my eyes then you would know
My God, you look beautiful right now
Merry Christmas
 
I feel it when it comes
Every year, helping us carry on
Filled up with so much love
All the family and friends all together
Where we all belong
Merry Christmas, everyone
 
It's Christmas time for you and I
We'll have a good night and a merry Christmas
It's Christmas time for you and I
We'll have a good night and a merry Christmas
It's Christmas time for you and I
We'll have a good night and a merry Christmas
It's Christmas time for you and I
We'll have a good night and a merry Christmas time.

Amigo é o tesouro maior que se encontra na vida
Amigo é sempre chegada, nunca despedida
Amigo de fé realmente é difícil encontrar
Mas quando se acha, o peito é o lugar de guardar
 
Amigo é o tesouro maior que se encontra na vida
Amigo é sempre chegada, nunca despedida
Amigo de fé realmente é difícil encontrar
Mas quando se acha, o peito é o lugar de guardar
 
Encontrar um amigo é ter a certeza
Que existe alguém que se pode contar
É poder, sem receio, em voz alta sonhar
Dividir alegrias, tristezas, o medo e até solidão
É dormir com a certeza que alguém te tem no coração
 
De que vale dinheiro, carrões importados
Castelos e casas com vista pro mar
Se você vive sozinho, só sabe chorar?
 
Pense nisso, parceiro
Pois esse é um conselho pra gente seguir
Posso não ter de tudo
Mas tenho amigos e posso sorrir
 
Amigo é quem sabe ouvir
Amigo é quem sabe se dar
Amigo é uma flor que a gente tem que cultivar

           Leona Louise Lewis(born 3 April 1985) is a British singer, songwriter, actress, model and activist. She was born and raised in the London Borough of Islington, and she attended the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in Croydon. Lewis achieved national recognition when she won the third series of The X Factor in 2006, winning a £1 million recording contract with Syco Music. Her winner's single, a cover of Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This", peaked at number one for four weeks on the UK Singles Chart and broke a world record by reaching 50,000 digital downloads within 30 minutes. In February 2007, Lewis signed a five-album contract in the United States with Clive Davis's record label, J Records.
          Lewis's success continued with the release of her debut studio album, Spirit (2007), which was certified 10× platinum in the UK and became the fourth best-selling album of the 2000s and one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history. According to the Official Charts Company, Spirit is the best-selling debut album by a female artist in the 21st century. The lead single, "Bleeding Love", spent seven weeks at number one in the UK and was the best-selling single of 2007. In the US, it was the best-selling single of 2008 and Lewis was proclaimed Best New Artist by Billboard the same year. In 2009, she released her second studio album, Echo, and recorded the theme song, "I See You", for the film Avatar.
        In 2011, Lewis released the single "Collide", a collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii, and her debut extended play, Hurt: The EP. Her third studio album, Glassheart (2012), marked a new creative direction for Lewis, drawing inspiration from dubstep and electronic music. She began to record material for her first Christmas album during her Glassheart Tour, which took place in mid 2013. Christmas, with Love was released later that year and its lead single, "One More Sleep", peaked at number three in the UK. With this chart entry, Lewis became the first British female solo artist to reach the top five with eight singles, surpassing Olivia Newton-John's record of seven.
         In 2014, she made her film debut in Walking on Sunshine, and her fourth studio album, I Am, was released the following year. In 2016, Lewis made her Broadway debut as Grizabella in the revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats, and the following year, she signed a modelling contract with Wilhelmina Models.

In 2021, Lewis joined the Paramount Plus show Queen of The Universe as a judge.
        "Footprints in the Sand" is a song recorded by British singer Leona Lewis for her debut studio album Spirit(2007). It was written by Simon Cowell, David Kreuger, Per Magnusson, Richard Page, and produced by Steve Mac. The song was digitally released as Lewis's third single on 9 March 2008 in the United Kingdom. Sony BMG and Syco Music launched it as a double A-side with "Better in Time", and "You Bring Me Down" as the B-side.
           It is a R&B and pop song composed with a tempo of sixty beats per minute. It was written in a period of one day at Page's home in Malibu, California, with Cowell giving the idea to base it on the Christian poem "Footprints". The single's music video was filmed by British diretor Sophie Muller in Johannesburg, South Africa. The video describes social problems within the city, but ends with a message of hope. "Footprints in the Sand" became the official theme of the 2008 version of biennial charity programme Sport Relief, by BBC.
          The song received positive reviews from music critics, some of them noting its gospel sounds and Lewis's vocals being compared to American R&B singer Mariah Carey. "Footprints in the Sand" charted as a separate single in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the European Hot 100 Singles, whilst the double A-side appeared in Germany and Switzerland, and was certified gold in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry(BPI), in 2008. In the same year, Lewis performed the song for the first time in the UK live on the television programme Dancing on Ice. In 2009, the song was covered by Lucie Jones, a contestant of The X Factor, and by Julia Star from Swiss programme Die grössten Schweizer Talente.
You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I'm going
 
You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much unknown
Along the way
 
I heard you say
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow
And despair
 
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
 
I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I
Been so afraid
And just when I
Thought I lost my way
You gave me strength to carry on
Thats when I heard you say
 
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
 
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
 
When I'm weary
Well I know you'll be there
And I can feel you
When you say
 
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sadness and despair
 
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
When your heart is full of sadness and despair
 
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.
