Luis Miguel's sweet sweet serenades were the soundtrack of every Saturday morning cleaning session I had as a child. He was (and still is) El Sol de Mexico, and we took that very seriously in my household.
But it wasn't until I watched, and then rewatched, Luis Miguel, La Serie that I was reminded of just how many hits he graced us with!
