Selena
Years active1984-1995

Selena (born Selena Quintanilla, April 16, 1971 – March 31, 1995) was a Mexican-American singer of Tejano music whose untimely death launched her to mythical status in the United States and Mexico. She is considered to be one of the most popular and influential Latino musicians.


When Selena was 9, her father started the group Selena Y Los Dinos . The group's first performances were in Papagallos, the Quintanilla family's restaurant opened in 1980. Everyone who saw her, even at that young age, knew she was going to be a star someday.

Soon the restaurant fell and the Quintanilla family went bankrupt, they were out on the streets without a roof over their head. The family moved to Corpus Christi, Texas where they piled into an old bus with all their musical equipment. They played at every opportunity - on streets, at weddings, Quinceañeras, fairs. Soon all the hard work paid off. Selena recorded her first album in 1984 under the Freddie label. This album was not released just then and the original copies were bought by Abraham. However, the album was released in 1995 titled "Mis Primeras Grabaciones." (My First Recordings)

Because Selena was getting even more popular and the traveling to perform was interfering was school , Abraham pulled her out of school when she was in the 8th grade. Even though she was not attending school anymore, Selena earned a high school degree from a correspondence school in Chicago.

In 1986, Selena's career really began to take off. Her second album, Alpha, was released then. At the Tejano Music Awards, she took the award for Female Vocalist of the Year (this was just the start of Selena sweeping the Tejano Music Awards for the next 10 years). Another important thing that happened in 1986 was she was discovered by two huge names in the Tejano music industry: Rick Trevi, founder of the Tejano Music Awards, and Johnny Canales, an entertainer with one of the top Spanish television shows.

In 1988, two more Selena albums were released, Preciosa and Dulce Amor. But it was in 1989 when Selena got her big break. That year, she signed with Capitol/EMI Latin label. By this time, Selena's concerts were drawing thousands of people and her band was expanding. Pete Astudillo joined Selena Y Los Dinos and can be heard on such hit duets as "Yo Te Amo" ("I Love You") and "Siempre Estoy Pensando En Ti" ("I'm Always Thinking Of You"). A.B. (who was already writing most of Selena's songs) joined Pete and wrote such it songs as "Como La Flor" ("Like A Flower"). Pete stayed with the band for 4 years but left in 1993 to go solo.

In 1988, Selena met a guitarist named Chris Perez. Chris had performed with the popular singer Shelly Lares and even had his own band. The Quintanilla family hired him to be in the band in 1990. On April 2, 1992, the two married.

In 1990, a fan approached Abraham with the idea of starting a fan club. Her name was Yolanda Saldivar. Her wish was granted. She was often referred to as Selena's biggest fan. Yolanda became a very close friend of Selena's, but later on, one of her worst enemies.

Ven Conmigo (Come With Me) was released in 1990. That album had such hits as "Baila Esta Cumbia" ("Dance This Cumbia"). Another hit album, Entre A Mi Mundo (Come Into My World), was released in 1992. Such hits from that album like "Como La Flor" and "La Carcacha" ("The Old Car") made Selena a star. Her 1993 Live album one her a Grammy award for Best Mexican American Performance. But 1994 was her best year, that was when she truly became a superstar.

Success

On April 2, 1992 Selena married her long time friend and member of her band, Chris Perez, who played the bass guitar.

1993 would prove to be a significant year for Selena; EMI released a collection of the bands concert performance titled Selena Live. The album captured Selena's unique spirited onstage presence and undeniable professionalism, easily granting Selena the 1994 Grammy for best Mexican/American Album of the Year. Selena was leaving no stone unturned, she pursued another one of long time dreams- to design clothing for women around the world. Selena began designing and manufacturing her own clothing line. She successfully opened two boutiques, one in Corpus Christi and the other in San Antonio, each equipped with it's own in-house beauty salon. Accolades kept pouring in for Selena y Los Dinos; Billboard's Premio Lo Nuestro awarded them a total of six prestigious awards, including Best Latin artist and song of the year for "Como La Flor." Coca-Cola released a commemorative bottle in her honor to celebrate their five-year relationship together and the informed magazine Hispanic Business reported the singer earned over five million dollars via endorsements, her boutiques, and mostly by her music sales. It made Selena one of the top twenty wealthiest Hispanic entertainers in the world. It also made her the first Tejano artist ever to make that list.

At twenty-two years old Selena signed an international recording contract with SBK Records, a sister company of EMI. This was a dream come true for Selena; since belting out "Tomorrow's Rains Fell Today (On the Twilight of My Sorrow)," Selena longed to record an English Album. Her dream was to be in the company of pop icons, such as Donna Summer, Paula Abdul and Madonna. Now all her dreams were on the verge of coming true, she was more determined than ever. Meanwhile, her duet with the Barrio Boys, "Donde Quiera Que Estes" (Wherever You Are), raced to the top of the Latin charts. This prompted Selena to tour in New York, Argentina, Puerto Rico and Central America where she was in growing demand. Selena was becoming so popular that she was featured along side Eric Estrada in a Latin soap opera titled, Dos Mujeres Un Camino (Two Women One Path.) When Selena appeared, the ratings went off the roof. Selena was asked to make a second appearance but she declined due to her conflicting schedule.

By fall of 1994 Selena's new album "Amor Prohibido" (Forbidden Love) was selling like hot cakes in Mexico. An album that even knocked Gloria Estefan's "Mi Tierra" off the number one spot on the charts. By March of 1995, it had sold over 400,000 copies. Amor Prohibido included such hits as "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom," the title track, "Fotos Y Recuerdos" ("Photos And Memories"), "No Me Queda Mas" ("I've Got Nothing Left"), and "El Chico Del Apartamento 512" ("The Boy Of Apartment 512").She toured for the album and prepared to record her first English album. That same year she appeared along side Marlon Brando, Faye Dunaway and Johnny Depp in Don Juan DeMarco. Despite her much triumphs and busy schedule, Selena continue to make it a priority to visit local schools to talk to students about the importance of education. She was instrumental in civic organizations such as, D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and planned a fundraiser concert to help AIDS sufferers. She never said no to non-profit organizations and always participated in charity softball games. This was one of the reasons why Selena's loyal fans saw her as one of their own. She was sincere, down to earth and always gave back to her community.

Selena was closer and closer to completing her first English Album, which was scheduled to be released in the summer of 1995. Afraid that her loyal fans would think she was turning her back on them, Selena was simultaneously recording a new Tejano Album as well. In the beginning of 1995 Selena earned a second Grammy nomination for Amor Prohibido. She was planning to open two more Boutiques and was preparing to launch her own perfume and Makeup lines, simply titled Selena. That same year she swept the Tejano Music Awards including Female Vocalist of the year for the eight consecutive years in a row. In early March of 1995 Selena's legendary concert at the Houston Astrodome broke attendance records. She shocked her fans by opening the concert with a medley of Disco classics. She instantly became a bonafide diva; the world was hers for the asking. Over 60,000 fans screamed, cheered and sang along to Selena's infectious classics, "Baila Esta Cumbia" and "Bidibidi Bom Bom." Selena's ease on stage and perfect transition from Spanish to English proved that her cross over dream would be an instant success. Several weeks after the Houston Astrodome concert Selena was scheduled to record at Q Productions to complete her forthcoming album.

Death

A woman named Yolanda Saldívar worked her way into the singer's inner circle, becoming president of Selena's fan club and manager of the boutiques. In 1995 the Quintanillas found out Saldívar had embezzled money from these ventures and decided to fire her. Selena agreed to meet Saldívar at a Corpus Christi Days Inn on the morning of March 31, 1995 in order to retrieve paperwork for tax purposes. At the motel an argument ensued over the embezzlement and Saldívar shot Selena once in the back. After being held captive for a while, Selena escaped and fled to the manager's office for help. but Selena died from loss of blood at a local hospital at 1:05 pm, hours after she was shot.

Selena's death shocked and saddened Latinos and non-Latinos alike across the United States. Major networks interrupted their regular programming to break the news; Tom Brokaw referred to Selena as "the Mexican Madonna." The outpouring of grief in the Latino community was without precedent, and was compared by many to reactions to the deaths of John Lennon, Elvis Presley, and U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Numerous vigils and memorials were held in the singer's honor.

Among the celebrities who were reported to have immediately phoned the Quintanilla family to express their condolences were Gloria Estefan, Julio Iglesias, and Madonna. Her funeral drew approximately 60,000 mourners, many of whom came from outside the United States.

That summer her album Dreaming of You, a combination of Spanish language songs and several new English language tracks, debuted at #1 on the Billboard music charts in the US, making her the first Hispanic singer to accomplish this feat. On its release date, it sold over 175,000 copies, the most ever by any female singer in pop history. Mainstream English-language radio stations embraced the album cuts "I Could Fall In Love" and "Dreaming Of You", with the latter song reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Both songs have become adult-contemporary standards and receive airplay to this day. ("I Could Fall In Love" was ineligible for the Hot 100 at the time since it was not released as a commercial single, but it did reach #12 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. Had Selena's label released the song commercially, it would likely have been a Top Ten or even Top Five hit with the added factor of single sales. On the Adult Contemporary chart, it did reach the Top Ten.) To date, the album has sold approximately 4 million copies in the United States.

People issued a commemorative edition in her honor – the third such tribute in its history. It was in high demand in Texas and it sold a record number of copies – over 1 million – ultimately spurring the creation of People En Español.

In October of 1995 a Houston jury convicted Saldívar of murder and sentenced her to life in prison. Under the law in place at the time, Saldívar will be someday eligible for parole, but it is unlikely that it will be granted anytime soon.

Legacy

There is a museum to honor Selena's memory and a bronze life-sized statue of her on Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi. The Selena Museum is visited by 100's of fans each week. People from as far away as Japan, Australia, and Europe have visited.

In 1997, Jennifer Lopez played Selena in the movie of the same name. This fact stirred some controversy in the Mexican-American community as Jennifer Lopez is a Hispanic of Puerto Rican descent playing the role of a singer who was of Mexican descent. But Selena's fans embraced the touching biography, and Lopez's role in Selena catapulted her to stardom. Despite Lopez's own success as a pop star a few years later, and she did sing during the filming, Selena's recorded singing voice was dubbed in for all her songs. Lopez gave a strong performance in her role, and she was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Actress. The soundtrack album, instead of being just another greatest-hits compilation, included some previously unreleased English tracks, including "Is It The Beat?" (the English version of "Enamorada De Ti"), "Where Did The Feeling Go?", and two live medleys of disco hits such as "I Will Survive" and "Last Dance" from her famous 1995 appearance at the Houston Astrodome. It also featured both of Selena's English-language hit singles from Dreaming Of You, as well as "A Boy Like That", originally recorded for a West Side Story tribute album; an eight-minute "Cumbia Medley" of Selena's Spanish hits; and a tribute song, "Viviras Selena" ("You Will Live On, Selena"), performed by Pete Astudillo, Graciela Beltran, the Barrio Boyzz, Jennifer Pena, Emilio, and Bobby Pulido.

Selena's enduring popularity is demonstrated by the fact that she continues to outsell many living artists. In fact, the Guinness Book of World Records, in 2003 (she had previously graced the book's pages as the "most dominating artist"), considered adding her to their pages as being the only deceased celebrity who continues to compete with today's top pop stars. Selena was named by Billboard Magazine as the Best Selling Latin Artist of the Decade (90's), selling approx 18,000,000 albums.Selena has sold approximately 20,000,000 albums in 6 years. Selena broke Mariah Carey's sales record. Selena's "Dreaming Of You" sold in one day, what Mariah's CD sold in one week.Selena, was the first Latin artist to chart a Latin album (at least 50% Spanish) at #1 on the Billboard 200 Pop Charts. Selena is the only Latin and FEMALE artist ever to place 5 consecutive albums is Billboard 200 top Selling albums in the U.S. and UK. This has only been accomplished by Elvis, The Beatles, and Garth Brooks. Billboard Magazine declared the release and succes of "Dreaming of You" as a historic day in latin music history.The People Tribute Issue to Selena sold 1,000,000 copies it's day of release, spawning People En Espanol. Selena was in the 1999 Book Of World Records in the category of Most Dominating Musical Artist. Selena was the only female Latina to receive a Golden Eagle Award in 2001, to honor her positive impact on millions of Latinos. Others to receive it that night were Tito Punete, and Anthony Quinn. In 1998 Selena was picked by People Magazine as one of "The Most Intriguing People Of The Century". Selena is considered one of the top 10 most important Latinos in history, on the internet.

A massive tribute concert, "¡Selena Vive!" (Selena Lives!) – which over 50,000 fans attended – was presented on April 7, 2005, a week after the tenth anniversary of the star's death. Reliant Stadium in Houston hosted the event, which featured many high-profile artists, including Gloria Estefan, Pepe Aguilar, Thalía, Paulina Rubio, Banda El Recodo, Ana Barbara, Alejandra Guzmán, Aleks Syntek, Ana Gabriel, and Fey. All of the musicians present performed renditions of her music, including her brother Abraham A.B. Quintanilla, who performed along with his band Kumbia Kings, backed with footage of Selena singing "Baila Esta Cumbia".

Broadcast live on the Univision network, "Selena Vive!" now holds the record for the highest-rated and most-viewed Spanish-language show in American television history. The show, which was over 3 hours long, scored a whopping 35.9 household rating.

On April 12, 1995, George W. Bush, then the Governor of Texas, declared April 16 to be "Selena Day". [1]

Many young girls, most of whom were not even born at the time of Selena's death, or were too young to even remember Selena, or those who were infants during her career, still visit her grave and sing her songs.
