Born Gloria María Milagrosa Fajardo García de Estefan in Havana, Cuba on September 1, 1957, she fled to the U.S. with her family in the early 1960s and went on to become the “Queen of Latin Pop.” Starting with the Miami Sound Machine in the mid-1980s, she transitioned into an equally successful solo career.

She is a truly great performer. Met her in Miami in 2002, and was very impressed with her as a person as well.
She had been an inspiration to me in recovering from my spinal injury. “Coming Out of The Dark” got me through some rough days.
