Valentín Elizalde

Valentín Elizalde Valencia was a regional Mexican singer. Nicknamed "El Gallo de Oro", he was known for his off-key style and his biggest hits included: "Vete Ya," "Ebrio de Amor", " Vete Con Él", "Vuelve Cariñito", "Cómo Me Duele", "Vencedor", " Mi Virgencita", and "Soy Así". Some of his songs were narcocorridos eulogizing Mexican drug lords like Vicente Carrillo Fuentes. He was murdered in an ambush; allegedly by members of the drug trafficking cartel Los Zetas, which at that time served as the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel.
