The Latin scene is a huge part of American life and culture today having found its roots in places such as New York and Miami. Gloria has made it to be in the top 100 "best selling artist" in the world with over 100 million albums sold. Being in the top 100 best selling artists in the world, along with her seven Grammy Awards, shows why Gloria Estefan has been chosen as one of the most influential solo females of all time.
