Musical Career
In the 1970s, Rivera had such hits as Jesucristo Mi Viejo (My Old Man), and Vecino, Dame la Mano (Neighbor, Give me Your Hand). Another of his hits at those times was "Mi Pueblo" (My People). This song went so deep into the hearts of "His People" that a group of youngsters at the San Juan Airport sung "Mi Pueblo" to him on one of his arrivals from Venezuela. Rivera also recorded "Tu vives en mi pensamiento", together with composer Eladio Torres which became one of the most popular of its genre.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or career:
“I think no woman I have had ever gave me so sweet a moment, or at so light a price, as the moment I owe to a newly heard musical phrase.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
