Re: Julio Iglesias

Yes he is great altho i cant think of too many songs of his just now.

on another forum i frequent (with a music playing quite a large part as it's theme) i have just been asked if i like spanish music?

I have answered with julio iglesias ... Put simply what an ultimate legend julio is and how he can change songs like diana ross' "when you tell me that you love me" being a prime example. Julio's talent is just totally beyond immense i feel and he was such a part of my teenage years and a musical influence too. What a great artist he is - a total legend indeed!
