Candid interview from October, 1994

[@chrismctyre7594]

Hi. My name is Chris Bailey. I’m the radio guy having the conversation with Selena. My background was mainstream Top 40. And I came from the D.C./Baltimore market before I came to Texas. Of course there I knew nothing of Selena and Tejano music. But thanks to my great coworkers, they taught me the music and all things Selena. I loved it, and actually put on two of her songs into rotation. The first Top 40 radio station to play her music, Hispanic, even before the cross over album came out. I was learning about her world, and she had to learn about mainstream Top 40 that she was getting ready to enter before we were all robbed of what could’ve and would’ve been. I was so impressed by her maturity, beauty, personality, smile, confidence, and obvious talent. Such a voice! She was going to be such a star, and so down to earth. Just so you know, there is so much more to this interview. I went through her purse, she’s a Walmart girl! If there’s an interest I’ll post the full visit to my show. I had such a great time, and she was so special. The memory I have of that day and just a few short months later, so sad. I’ll post if you like. Thanks so much.

[@earthdisciple9128]

That's awesome!! You're lucky. I would have loved to have met her. Please do post the rest of the interview. 🙏🏽

[@alove887]

OMG! Yes you should post the full visit that would be amazing!

[@chrismctyre7594]

Yes. I was very lucky. I’ll get out the tape, edit out the commercials, figure out how to post it and put it out there as soon as I can. We had a great time that day.

[@Kimberly_11]

Selena IS STILL ALIVE.. just because she isn't physically HERE, she crossed over to a higher level of existence, which we all are going to experience when we leave the physical world. But Not all of us are gonna experience peace, love and light.. I think you can figure out where that other world is I'm talking about that's the complete opposite of peace love and light..

I know it broke me me. So sad and haunting poor sweet thing 😩♥️🙏🏼

[@AshLoRo]

I was a 4 year old little Irish Girl living In Ireland when Selena died. I found out about her after watching the Selena Movie at 9 years old. I Instantly Fell in Love with her, I know her songs. I wont even Lie, I have no idea what the words are. But I love her & her music. Yesterday, Me & both my daughters aged 8 & 9 watched the Selena Movie. Two entirely new generations have learned about her, after her death. Today we were singing aloud to her music in the car. My daughters already knew the words to 'dreaming of you' not knowing who it came from, I'd put earphones over both my pregneant bumps, to that song during my pregnancies & have always sang it to them since they were born. Selena holds a very special place in my heart. She is living on through multiple generations. Even in a small old place like Ireland. Rest Easy Selena, You Earned It.

[@shy3805]

Ash, my daughter's also love her. They still play her songs even though they don't speak Spanish.

[@adoringsharon]

[@Nutty151]

​@@janesbriggs4406 Abraham was the first to find out, he was the one receiving constant calls from angry fans not receiving what they were promised. He also did some investigation and found Yolanda had written the checks to be cashed by herself (her cousin was also involved I believe). She was confronted by Abraham, Suzette and Selena at the studio I believe. Yeah, she was an idiot and was caught red-handed. It wasn't the first time she had committed these crimes either. She had previously embezzled money from a firm I believe and also at the clinic she used to work for. She comes from a family of thieves all of them.

Thanks for posting this interview!:)

Wonder if Selena questioned her about it later her calling in? Still to this day decades later. It breaks my heart.
