Gloria Estefan is a very important figure in the music and movies industry.
She is a Cuban-American singer, actress, and songwriter, born in September 1957.
Gloria Estefan started her career in 1975, playing vocals and guitar, mainly as part of the music genres Latin pop and dance-pop.
She experienced worldwide success with her single Conga in 1985 as part of the group named Miami Latin Boys.
Today we are talking about one of her songs, named Reach. The song was released in April 1996 as part of her album named Destiny.
Reach has a length of 3:50 seconds in its original version, was released under the Epic label, and belongs to the pop/ballad music genre.
Reach was co-written by Gloria Estefan and Diane Warren, and produced by Emilio Estefan and Lawrence Dermer.
Once released, Reach peaked the charts in Hungary, Spain, the UK, and many other European countries.
The song was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1997. It also has a Spanish version recorded by Gloria Estefan, named Puedes Llegar, the version recorded together with Julio Iglesias, Plácido Domingo, Jon Secada, Alejandro Fernández, Roberto Carlos, Ricky Martin, José Luis Rodríguez, Patricia Sosa, and Carlos Vives on vocals.
The song had great success, very well received by the public and critics, some of them saying that the song is maybe:
her finest moment, a motivational power ballad complete with a gospel choir and tribal drums
Looking into the lyrics of the free Reach piano sheet music, they tell us a story about overcoming troubled times and coming back stronger and stronger.
Reach has a black and white music video, directed by Marcus Nispel, filmed in Florida, with Gloria Estefan as the main character, standing on a high colossus by the sea, like a goddess.
The video has at least two different edits and has been all over the TV at the time.
The free Reach piano sheets have such a unique instrumental composition, a very nice melodic line, and Gloria’s voice, facts that make it so special.
