Joey & Rory's "When I'm Gone" is now in the Top 60 on ITunes. It's really sad she had to contract cancer and die for the GP to finally take notice of their talent. RIP Joey Feek.
If anyone else on here remembers back 21 years to Selena's murder on 31 March 1995 the two situations are sadly similar. Selena had a lot of success as a Tejano artist and was recording her first English CD when the Selena fan club president shot her. Selena's
Dreaming Of You is the biggest selling predominantly Spanish album in Latin music history.
The CD was certified Triple Platinum (regular certifications, NOT Latin), sold over 3 million copies, and spent 50 weeks at #1 on BB's Latin Albums Chart. She had only had the chance to record four our five crossover English crossover songs prior to her death, so despite its title the CD was still predominantly Spanish. The title track will bring you to tears, as you realize she would've probably been the next Gloria Estefàn.
J-Lo got her start in music by playing Selena in her 1997 posthumous biopic. If you haven't already seen the movie I strongly encourage you to do so. You'll be glad you did.
