Yes, unfortunately I tend to agree with the review. The once golden Andaluian child star was already fading. Worst of all is that he never recovered. This was the very sad event. We lost a unique feature in the Spanish speaking world.
I particularly ignore what exactly could have happened to him. No doubt some children who happen to be somewhat appealing to the public lose their charm once they go through the difficult period of the adolescence. And this symptom becomes even worse in adulthood. Spontaneity is a given quality while we are children. But to be able to keep it as adults requires awareness of it and yet have the capacity to manifest it as if one would be unaware of it. Joselito, as many others, could not handle this quality. Even if that voice he was gifted with during his childhood was never going to be the same, had he managed the charm we were used to see in him when he became an adult he would have had an enormous appeal to the public. What a shame really. I am sure many people have lived missing him. And perhaps the latter may be the only consolation the unforgettable Joselito of the late 50s and early 60s has already taken.
