Her self-titled album ‘Selena’ hit stored on October 17, 1989, launching her celebrated career.

Selena’s family reportedly helped Google create the sketch, and the singer’s sister Suzette Quintanilla — who also played the drums for her sister — said her sister would be thrilled:
“What a great way to celebrate an icon. I think it will bring great joy to all her fans who follow her and look up to her as a role model,” Suzette said in an interview. “Selena would be so excited. It’s such an honor.”

As part of the celebration of her life and work, Google also put together an exclusive Selena collection for their online Arts and Culture Exhibit, which includes personal facts, photographs and fan art of the singer.
