That same year RCA Victor recorded four more of his songs: вЂњEllaвЂќ, вЂњCuarto CaminosвЂќ, вЂњLa que se fueвЂќ and вЂњQue suerte la miaвЂќ, interpreted by himself and by the best singers of the moment, among them, Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante and Miguel Aceves Mejia. The song became a big hit and the spearhead of JosГ© AlfredoвЂ™s fruitful artistic career. The microphones where left open, and RIvera COnde heard the song and, after hanging up the phone, exclaimed: вЂњBoys, we record this one!вЂќ A few days later, during the recording of an album at RCA Victor, while Mariano Rivera Conde, then artistic director of the label, attended a telephone call, Huesca and his band rehearsed вЂњYoвЂќ, with the intention of singing it that very night at a private party. Fortune came one night at the begging of 1951, when AndrГ©s Huesca, a singer-songwriter of the Ranchero genre, was dining at the restaurant and JosГ© Alfredo sang his new song вЂњYoвЂќ impressed, Huesca memorized it and added it to his repertoire. But their efforts to record with labels resulted in vain.

In 1947 they managed to sing on the XEW and XEX radio stations. With this group he began his artistic career and during these years he wrote, in a any scrap that was at hand, his first songs. Little by little they became known in the area, delivering serenades, and performing at parties and family gatherings. Together with Jorge Ponce, the ownersвЂ™ son, and the brothers Enrique and Valentin Ferrusca he formed the вЂњJosГ© Alfredo and the RebelsвЂќ quartet. Close to 20 years old, he would play football as a goal keeper for the вЂњOviedoвЂќ team, from where he jumped, albeit for a short time, to the first division team вЂњMarteвЂќ.ДЄround that time he began to work in the вЂњSirenitaвЂќ restaurant, which was located close to his house. The precarious economic situation provoked the dissolution of the family and JosГ© Alfredo was forced to leave his studies after completing primary school and realize various jobs to support himself. When JosГ© Alfredo was only 10 years old his father passed away and the Pharmacy fell into bankruptcy, due to which the family moved to Mexico City, establishing itself in the Santa Maria de la Ribera neighborhood. JosГ© AlfredoвЂ™s childhood developed in the idyllic provincial setting of Dolores, while the bohemian environment provided by his family, in which he would listen to the music of the fashionable singers and composers, stimulated his artistic sensibility. A sensible man, who enjoyed the pleasures of literature and music, he organized evenings where musicians, poets and politicians would gather. His father, a Pharmacist by trade, established in 1900 la first drug store in Dolores Hidalgo: The вЂњSan VicenteвЂќ pharmacy.

JosГ© Alfredo JimГ©nez was born in this house on January 19, 1926, the third of four sons of the marriage formed by Agustin Tristan and Maria del Carmen Sandoval Rocha.
