Marjo, de son véritable nom Marjolène Morin, née le 2 août 1953 à Montréal, Québec (Canada), est une auteure-compositrice-interprète québécoise. Elle a été chanteuse du groupe Corbeau de 1978 à 1984 et a ensuite connu un grand succès en tant qu'artiste solo avec les albums Celle qui va, Tant qu'il y aura des enfants, Bohémienne, Bootleg Blues, Sans Retour et Turquoise. En 2009 et 2010, elle regroupe de nombreux chanteurs et groupes québécois pour les albums Marjo et ses Hommes Volume 1 et 2. Elle a vendu plus d'un million d'albums au cours de sa carrière. Ayant fait ses débuts comme choriste dans deux comédies musicales de François Guy, ce n'est qu'en 1978 que Marjo se joint au groupe Corbeau, fondé par trois anciens membres du groupe Offenbach. Le groupe est composé de Michel Lamothe à la basse et Roger Belval à la batterie, Pierre Harel au chant, ainsi que Donald Hince et Jean Millaire à la guitare. Harel fera figure de mentor pour Marjo mais quittera le groupe avant la sortie du premier album en 1979. Au début des années 1980, le groupe obtient de la popularité avec les chansons J'lâche pas et Illégal qui remportent un franc succès au Québec. Peu de temps après la dissolution de Corbeau, la chanteuse commence sa carrière solo en tant qu'interprète de la chanson-thème du film La femme de l'hôtel de Léa Pool, chanson qui lui fera d'ailleurs gagner un Prix Génie. Elle apparaît en 1985 dans un vidéoclip de Michel Rivard, Rumeurs sur la ville et participe cette année-là à la Fondation Québec-Afrique en chantant dans le projet collectif Les Yeux de la faim. En 1986 paraît son premier album solo, intitulé Celle qui va. Le succès est au rendez-vous; Marjo vend plus de 250 000 albums. C'est sur cet album que se trouvent les chansons Doux et Chats sauvages. La même année, elle est invitée à faire la première partie du spectacle de la légendaire chanteuse américaine Eartha Kitt. En 1988, elle collabore avec Gerry Boulet pour sa chanson Les Yeux du cœur, sur l'album Rendez-vous doux. En 1990, Marjo lance un deuxième album solo Tant qu'il y aura des enfants, qui remporte un succès phénoménal grâce aux chansons À bout de ciel, Je sais, je sais, Y'a des matins, Provocante et la pièce-titre Tant qu'il y aura des enfants. C'est grâce à cet album que la chanteuse remporte le prix Félix de l'album de l'année au gala de l'ADISQ de 1991. Quelques années passent, puis, en 1995, paraît l'album Bohémienne. Le troisième opus de Marjo, bien que plus calme, est toujours teinté d'un son rock. Cet album se voulait en quelque sorte un cri d'amour destiné à Jean Millaire, avec qui elle passait de durs moments à cette époque. Parmi les grands succès de cet album, on compte évidemment les pièces, «Bohémienne», «Fais pas l'fou», «Si c'est ça la vie», «S’il fallait» et «Marabout». En 1998, la chanteuse met de côté son style rock pour s'aventurer dans le blues. Son album Bootleg Blues rencontrera un succès mitigé. Trois ans plus tard, Marjo lance un album compilation, Sans retour, qui regroupe les plus grands succès de ses trois premiers albums solos. Affectée par sa séparation avec Jean Millaire, elle annonce alors qu'il s'agit de son dernier album. ... Source: Article "Marjo" de Wikipédia en français, soumis à la licence CC-BY-SA 3.0.

Jorge Ernesto Guzmán Rodríguez is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler and political activist, best known under the ring name, El Hijo del Santo ("The Son of the Saint"). Guzmán is the youngest child, out of eleven, of Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, better known as El Santo, a professional wrestler, film actor, and Mexican folk hero. Jorge Guzmán's son made his debut under the name "Santo Jr.", the third-generation Guzmán to use the name "Santo".

From 1998 through 2006 he also formed a very successful team with Negro Casas. Over the span of his career Guzmán has held various championships, most significantly the AAA World Tag Team Championship, Mexican National Middleweight Championship, Mexican National Trios Championship, Mexican National Welterweight Championship, CMLL World Tag Team Championship, UWA World Lightweight Championship, UWA World Welterweight Championship, WWA Tag Team Championship and WWA World Welterweight Championship as well as an honorary championship awarded by the World Boxing Council.
