Personal life

Benítez was born, raised and educated at Bayamón.[6] Her father Juan Benítez was a sailor, who was the main breadwinner of the family until she became a full time artist, while her mother Luz María Rosado took up managing her mail after she became famous.[360] Benítez is one of four siblings along her brothers Juan Enrique, Raymond and Wilfredo.[360] Her first guitar was brought by her father from one of his voyages and she spent hours learning to play by herself.[78] After she entertained friends and family with her playing, they insisted that her mother enrolled her at Rafael Quiñones Vidal's Tribuna del Arte program, where she won the first place award.[78] Tough not a fan of jewelry, Benítez did use a "lucky ring" as a teenager.[360] Unlike her stage persona, she preferred simple clothing.[360] Besides guitar, Benítez also plays the piano and battery, which she learned by ear.[360] She attended the Puerto Rico Junior College for her basic training, intending to continue studies in psychology and music.[360] As a teenger, her favorite song was "Mi propio yo" and her favorite genre was classical.[360]

She expressed no concern with how the media perceived her personality, which they perceived as too direct and frank to the point of bluntness, a departure from the traditional artist.[159] By 1973, Benítez described her fashion as a humble and uninterested in luxurious dresses and fine jewelry.[159] Actor Miguel Ángel Suárez considered Benítez and Danny Rivera the two signers that could easily make a full transition to theatre.[361] In 1971, Benítez was gifted a 1970 Fiat car that was lost within months, after catching fire at a gas station in an incident that gathered media coverage.[362] In 1974, she campaigned for the creation of a cycling exclusive lane in San Juan.[363] The public's perception that Benítez and Avellanet were involved led to the creation of a popular rivalry between her base and the fans of Lisette Álvarez.[364]

Her schedule affected her personal life to a degree, with only New Year's Eve being reserved as a family day.[129] During the early 1970s reports tied her to actor Frank Moro, with rumors of wedding appearing in media, but Benítez denied these.[365][366] Benítez lived with her mother at Tintillo Gardens into her 40s.[272] In 1986, Benítez stated that one of her regrets was not becoming a mother, since she liked children.[295] She was the face of a number of foreigh brands when marketing to the local public. In 1972, her repertoire was included in Eastern Airlines' playlist as part of a promotional campaign.[367] During the fall of 1986, she was contracted by Kimberly Clark to produce music for commercials of their Huggies brand.[368]

Social views

Throughout her career, she expressed liberal ideals that included support for the LGBT, equality for women, the legalization of prostitution and criticism for the Catholic Church.[323] These were controversial among the more-conservative Puerto Rucans of the 1970s and led to numerous blacklists in both local television and radio.[323] Benítez supports syndicalism and on several ocassions collaborated with unions. In December 1970, she participated at Espectáculo 70, where several local and foreign artists performed to gather funds for a health plan for the members of the Federación de Músicos and the Unión Puertorriqueña de Artistas.[369] In 1977, Benítez hosted the Christmas party of the Instituto Laboral de Educación Sindical (ILES) of the Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT).[370] On May 1, 1978, Benítez received an homage from the UGT at the first Festival Obrero due to her public stances in favor of syndicalism.[371] Another union, the Sindicato de Equipo Pesado (SEP), gave her an homage for being a distinguished public figure.[372] In July 1985, Benítez headlined the Voces de Nuestra Tierra concert sponsored by the union of UPR employees.[373]

Political ideology

Benítez is a lifelong member of the Puerto Rican independence movement and first participated in an event to raise funds for the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) in 1970.[374] She also supported Noel Colón Martínez's candidacy for the party in 1972 and headlined the event that closed the campaign along several artists.[375] When Colón Martínez was expelled from the party, she was among 15 artists that boycotted an activity in protest.[376] Afterwards, Benítez was part of the Festival de Arte Puertorriqueño organized by the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (PSP).[377] Afterwards, Benítez resumed her appearances for the PIP.[378] In an interview during the early 1970s that followed the cancellation of her show, Benítez expressed that there was pressure to keep her out of television due to being outspoken about her beliefs, which earned the interest of Ruth Fernández, who had been elected for the Senate of Puerto Rico.[379] She announced that she was likely going to leave Puerto Rico, expressing that both her and Cordero knew that something anomalous was happening around her figure and that it concerned her political beliefs and the reaffirmation of her African heritage in her look.[380]

She was present at a meeting that took place on October 27, 1974 at New York, during which the topic of Puerto Rican independence was discussed.[381] She was among the artists that headlined Concierto de Conciertos for the PIP.[382] She also performed at the PSP’s general assembly, Apoyo a Claridad and the 1976 campaign closer.[383][384][385] She became a fixture at the Festival Claridad.[386][387][388] Benítez participated in multiple tele-marathons to raise funds for the PIP for their 1980 campaign.[389][390] When Puerto Rican nationalist Andrés Figueroa Cordero was released from prison, she participated in an event organized by the Comité Pro Libertad de los Presos Nacionalistas.[391] When the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided the house of Antonio Martorell while searching for members of the Ejercito Popular Boricua (EPB-Macheteros), Benítez was among the artists that signed supporting him.[392] She also favored the integration of Puerto Rico to the UNESCO and other similar initiatives from the municipality of San Juan.[393] Despite being on ideologically opposite ends, Benítez interviewed Carlos Romero Barceló while preparing a thesis on the influence of arts on social transformation.[394] When cuvic leader Ismael Guadalupe was charged in a federal court for his protests against the United States Navy at Vieques, Benítez signed a manifesto in his favor.[395] She participated in a march to protest American intervention at Nicaragua.[396] Despite her beliefs, Benítez voted for Rafael Hernández Colón in 1984 and later participated in his inauguration ceremony.[397]

Benítez was one of several independentist artists profiled and monitored by the Police Department due to their political leanings, a practice known as carpeteo in Puerto Rico, and was the subject of a criminal case that was dismissed due to lack of evidence in 1976.[398][399] Though the now-defunct cultural publication Bohemia on occasion published articles about her and other related topics such as the fan clubs, she refused to grant the magazine interviews after discovering that they had a black list of independentist artists and that she was in it, a situation that persisted even after Pedro Zervigón took over.[400] In February 1973, Danny Rivera revealed that Benítez, Avellanet and himself, among other artists, were having copyright prohibitions of their tracks being enforced by the Federación de Músicos de Puerto Rico that prevented them from being used in television, limiting their revenue.[401] In January 1986, a report by the Miami Herald revealed that Benítez along Rubén Blades, Alberto Cortés, Joan Manuel Serrat, Avellanet, Rivera, Víctor Manuel and Ana Belén had been blacklisted by commercial station in Miami due to the sociopolitical commentary in their songs.[402]

Legacy

Reception and influence

Benítez was one of the most popular artists among the Puerto Rican youth of the 1960s and 1970s, but she also had a following among older age groups and across ideological groups.[145] Actor José Manuel Zambrana cited Benítez as his favorite local artist when he was a teenager.[403] Sophie Hernández considered Benítez and Avellanet her favorite artists.[404] Olga Guillot labelled Benítez "one of the most complete artists and a great voice".[405] Singer Tamara Escribano, known professionally as Tammy, listed Benítez and Avellanet as her favorite artists.[406] Benítez is the godmother of Julio Ángel II, son of the singer of the same name.[407]

For reasons unknown, Héctor Campos Parsi omitted mentioning her in the seventh tome of his encyclopedia Gran Enciclopedia de Puerto Rico, which raised disapproval from other media critics.[408] In August 1989, artist Hiram Morales painted and sculpted several pieces as part of a series titled "Trayectoria-Lucecita" which was exhibited at the Telemundo studios and covered several aspects of her career up to that point.[409] Her popularity led to one of her fans, Deisa Díaz, to create the first impersonator act in her image.[410]
