He watched Selena perform at the 1989 Tejano Music Awards.[2] Behar was searching for new Latin acts and wanted to sign Selena to EMI's label.[2] Behar thought he had discovered the "next Gloria Estefan." Selena chose EMI Latin's offer because of the potential for a crossover album, and becoming the first artist to sign to the label.[3] Before Selena began recording for her debut album, Selena, Behar and Stephen Finfer requested a crossover album for her.[4] In 1995, Selena was murdered. Behar said after her passing: "She would have been up there with the Janets and the Madonnas."[5] In July 1995, Selena's 'Dreaming of You' Album premiered in No. 1 Spot. Behar said: "This is what the dream was about in 1989. Seeing it all come to fruition is tremendous."[6]
