Marcela Rubiales Jiménez (born 16 April 1952[1]) is a Mexican singer, actress, and television presenter. Due to her blond hair and sensual voice, she has been nicknamed La rubia sexy de la canción ranchera[2] ("The Sexy Blonde of Ranchera Song").

For four consecutive years, she was the host of the Mexican television program Complicadísimo (1979-1982), a number-one rated show.[2]

In 1980, she made her debut as a ranchera singer and signed a recording contract with EMI Capitol (now Universal Music Group), where she recorded her first hit singles: "Terroncito azucarado", "Cariño de mi cariño", "La verdad de la verdad", and "Échale un quinto al piano".[3][4]
