Selena

Mexican-born singer Selena is unquestionably one of America’s sweethearts. She was known to be a versatile performer as well as an amazing songwriter who was able to crossover from one chart to another. She got her songs Dreaming of You and Amor Prohibido to reach the Top Latin Songs chart. In 1992, Selena was married to her co-band member Chris Perez. Three years later, they were expecting a baby but she didn’t quite get the happy ending she was hoping for.

Her passing was mourned by her fans all over the world. It’s been more than two decades since she left, but her mark in the music industry remains. Unfortunately, even today, she is still cited as one of the industry’s biggest influences. Jennifer Lopez played the role of Selena in her biographical musical drama film in 1997. She will be forever be remembered as one of the greatest artists of her generation.
