Biography
Frankie Ruiz, a prominent salsa singer, passed away on August 9, 1998, due to liver failure attributed to complications from AIDS. Known for his contributions to the Salsa Sensual style, Ruiz played a significant role in the resurgence of salsa's popularity in the 1970s. Hailing from Patterson, New Jersey, he began his musical journey at a young age, making his debut with Charlie López y Su Orquesta as a child.
After moving to Puerto Rico in 1965, Ruiz developed a love for salsa music, particularly inspired by the band La Solución. Immersing himself in their performances, he quickly learned their repertoire. Ruiz's persistence paid off when he impressed the band during a last-minute performance, leading to an invitation to join as a full-time member. Transitioning to Tommy Olivencia's orchestra in the early 1970s, Ruiz achieved success with hits like "La Duda" before launching a solo career in the mid-1980s. Despite his vocal talent, Ruiz battled substance abuse issues and a tumultuous lifestyle.
