Cruz
(Celia Cruz was born on 1924 in Havana, Cuba to a poor, but loving family. She had 13 brothers, sisters, and cousins living with her. A teacher told her she needed to become a singer. Celia invented salsa dancing and even had her own band. She loved to sing and dance. She would shout, "Sugar!" at the beginning of each performance because she loved it especially in her coffee. Celia won many awards and has her own star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. She died July 16, 2003.)
