WITH RESPECT AS BECAUSE HE HAS SOME BIG THINGS HAPPENING. >> INCLUDING A NEW SONG THAT IS
A FIRST OF ITS KIND.
>> AMY AWARD-WINNING GUITARIST,
SONGWRITER AND BEST-SELLING
AUTHOR. CHRIS BET IS IS PUSHING
AHEAD. THE WIDOWER OF LATE THE
HEAD OF MUSIC ICON SELENA IS
STEPPING UP TO THE MIC AS LEAD
VOCALIST FOR THE FIRST TIME
EVER BEEN A LABOR OF LOVE.
YOU
>> AND THEN TO BE THE LEAD
VOCALS ON THE TRACK IS FOR THE
FIRST TIME I’M EXCITED ABOUT
IT. IT’S TAKE SOME GROWING FOR
ME BECAUSE I’M NOT, YOU KNOWN
FOR GUITAR PLAYING AND LIKE I
DO THINK BACKGROUND VOCALS WITH
MY GROUP. BUT THIS THE FIRST
TIME ACTUALLY SINGING THE LEAD
ON SO.
>> THAT IS TELLS US IT WAS A
DREAM THAT SPARKED THE
INSPIRATION FOR THE NEW SONG.
>> PUSHING AHEAD WITH A WAY TO
FIND HAPPENED. WHEN I WAS IN
NEW YORK AND IT JUST AND
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IN A HALF
WAS HAVING A DREAM. AND I WAS
GENTLE AND JUSTIN HIT WITH THIS
RIFT. AND I JUST WOKE UP.
I WENT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF
MY PLACE TO OPEN MY VOICE MEMO.
AND I JUST STARTED RECORDING
WHAT I HEARD IN MY HEAD.
AND THEN IT WENT BACK TO SLEEP.
WHEN I CAME BACK TO TEXAS, I
GOT MY BOY BOTTLE IN THE STUDIO
AND I THINK WE’LL CHECK THIS
OUT. AND AND I SHOWED HIM THE
VOICE KNOW. AND THEN WE CAME UP
WITH SOME IDEAS AND I STARTED
WRITING IT JUST BECAUSE I
DIDN’T KNOW WHO WAS GOING TO
SING IT. BUT THEN WHEN I
STARTED TRACKING THE VOCAL.
IT SOUNDED PRETTY COOL. YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND THEN AND
NOW THAT ALL RIGHT, IT TOOK
A LITTLE WRITING BY BOB, LIKE
DUSON, SO. THEN WE WENT THROUGH
THAT AND WE RECENTLY JUST
FINISHED DOING THE VIDEO, WHICH
WITH A WHOLE OTHER THING.
THERE’S ONE THING TO HEAR
MYSELF COMING OUT OF THE
SPEAKERS. BUT TO SEE MYSELF,
YOU KNOW, DOING THE GOING
THROUGH THE MOTIONS. I THAT
TOOK SOME GETTING USED TO.
WITH THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF LIKE
ME AND MY FRIENDS IN THE BAND
MEMBERS. AND IT’S JUST BEEN
FUN.
>> NOW HE’S TEAMED UP WITH
COMEDIAN AND ACTOR GEORGE LOPEZ
AND SANTANA LEAD VOCALIST.
ARE THE RODRIGUEZ SIGNING ONTO
THEIR RECORD LABEL MY LAST
PALAPAS THAT IS SAYS HE MET
GEORGE LOPEZ IN MIAMI DURING
THE LATIN GRAMMYS IN AN
ELEVATOR AT THEIR HOTEL AND
IT’S GETTING IN THE ELEVATOR UP
AT THE HOTEL THERE IN MIAMI
WHERE THEY PUT ALL THE BANDS.
>> I WAS GETTING IN THE
ELEVATOR DOORS ABOUT THE
CLOTHES AND I HEARD A DOOR TO
DOOR WHEN YOU KNOW THAT I HELD
THE DOOR AND THEN WAS GEORGE
LOPEZ IS A GOLF CLUB HOW YOU
DOING THIS. AND I’M I’M GOOD.
I REAL. BUT THAT WAS HOW WE
MET. AND THEN WE’VE GOT TO KNOW
EACH OTHER ON SET OF THAT AWARD
SHOW AND THE SONG IS MEANT TO
INSPIRE. THE SONG WAS KIND OF
ENDED UP BEING A MESSAGE TO
MYSELF ABOUT PUSHING AHEAD.
YOU KNOW, I’M NOT YES, I’VE
HAD. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES IN
MY LIFE. WE’RE SEEING THINGS
WERE.
HAPPENING, YOU KNOW, AND IT
MIGHT SEEM SIMPLE. BUT NEVER
A DIFFERENT SIDE AND THAT, YOU
KNOW, AND THAT’S THE MESSAGE IN
THIS SIZE LIKE TO QUIT SKI,
PUSHING AHEAD. SO I’M PROUD OF
THAT, TOO. IF YOU FOLLOW BET IS
ON HIS INSTAGRAM OR FACEBOOK.
YOU OFTEN SEE SOME BACK PHOTOS
OF SELENA OF THE NOSE.
>> AND HIS LATE WIFE, THE MODEL
SUPERSTAR SELENA, HER IMPACT
AND MEMORY IS SOMETHING THAT
STILL BRINGS CHRIS JOY.
>> THE EVERY EVERY EVERY EVENT
I’M AT WHETHER TO MEETING
GREETERS, THE PERFORMANCE.
THERE’S MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF
PEOPLE THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY
SELENA FANS AND TO BE ABLE TO
MEET UP WITH THEM IN TALKING
HERE.
WHAT SHE STILL MEANS TO THEM.
AND, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, I
STUMBLE BOXES OF OLD
MEMORABILIA THAT I FORGET.
I HAVE, YOU KNOW. AND SO IT’S
ALWAYS IT’S FUNNY HOW THINGS
CHANGE FAST AS TIME HAS GONE
ON, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT WAS
A TIME EARLY MID 90’S, LATE
90’S TO WHERE WE’RE COMING
ACROSS THAT KIND OF STUFF WAS,
YOU KNOW, IT PAINFUL. AND NOW I
LOOK AT THAT STUFF AND IT’S A
LOOK AT WHAT WE’VE DONE.
A LOOK AT WHAT SHE’S DONE
BECAUSE SHE CONTINUES TO DO AND
WHAT SHE REPRESENTS. AND SO
IT’S IT’S LIKE A ONE. 80 TURN
TONIGHT. I COULDN’T BE PROUDER
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU THIS
MONTH.
>> BUT THAT STILL INSPIRES YOU
WOULD IMAGINE, RIGHT? YOUR
MUSIC?
>> YEAH. I MEAN, MUSIC HAS BEEN
SO MANY THINGS FOR ME, YOU JUST
