Joan Sebastian: A remembrance of the Mexican singer-songwriter

Mexican singer-songwriter Joan Sebastian was known for sentimental love songs and a fondness for the rodeo that ran so strong, he even performed on horseback.

Sebastian died Monday after a battle with bone cancer. He was 64. 

Leila Cobo, executive director of Latin Content at Billboard Magazine, joined the show to tell more about his life and music.
