Selena Quintanilla
She’s gone now, but hardly forgotten. Selena’s story of course was told by Jennifer Lopez in the movie, “Selena Forever”. Selena was born in Lake Jackson, Texas and was murdered by the president of her fan club at age 23. She had 7 number 1 hits in the Tejano/Latin genre. She was called the Queen of Mexican Music and was revered by a generation of young girls for her style, beauty, singing and just plain ‘star’ qualities.
A museum dedicated to her life and work is located in Corpus Christi and is visited by hundreds of fans every week. She has sold over 21 million albums worldwide. She dominated the Tejano Music Awards shows for over 8 years.
