Lydia Mendoza (1916-2007) -- The Mother of Tejano Music
Mendoza was musical even as a toddler. She twice retired and twice returned to the stage, then at the age of 82 a stroke forced her to retire permanently.
Mendoza was honored numerous times with grants, induction into numerous halls of fame, performed at the inauguration of President Jimmy Carter, and had her likeness featured on a US postage stamp in 2013, the first in the Music Icons series.
Her signature song, "Mal Hombre"
