Although he has been a prominent presence in Brazilian television in recent times, Agnaldo Rayol can practically be considered a pillar of the vehicle. In addition to being one of the most powerful voices in Brazilian popular music, the singer mixes his career with television.

After a successful career on radio, the artist rose to fame at Record in the 1960s, directing its own programs, including “Agnaldo RayoI Show” and “Corte RayoI Show”, together with comedian Renato Corte Real. It was also one of the attractions of the debut edition of the Jovem Guarda program. In the 1980s he hosted the highly successful “Festa Baile” on TV Cultura for eight years.

Even years later it remained relevant. In addition to appearing at events with his “Ave Maria”, considered the most beautiful in the country, he served as the soundtrack for several soap operas. At the opening of “Terra Nostra” he returned heavily to the spotlight. Her collaboration with Benedito Ruy Barbosa’s serials was fruitful and she appeared in hits such as “O Rei do Gado”.

Behind the scenes, he was always considered a gentleman. Educated to the extreme, very discreet in his personal life, even though he was considered a heartthrob, he avoided publicizing his loves and his life outside the screen and the stage. Until the end of his life he was considered one of Brazil’s greatest voices. And so he will be remembered. He leaves an immense legacy. And we will miss him. He founded a significant part of the national culture.
