Julio Iglesias Tickets Continued
Julio Iglesias had his first hit in English with a cover of
"Begin the Beguine" and released a collection entitled Julio in
1983, building his reputation. In 1984, he released the smash hit
album, 1100 Bel Air Place, which gave him considerable fame in
English-language markets. The album sold three million albums in the
US alone, with the first single "To All The Girls I've Loved Before",
a duet with Willie Nelson reaching the top five on the Billboard Hot
100. The album also featured "All of You", a hit duet with Diana Ross.
Julio Iglesias won a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album in
the 1988 Grammy Awards for the album Un Hombre Solo ("A
Single Man"). He also recorded a duet with Stevie Wonder, "My Love", from his Non Stop album which
achieved crossover success in 1988.
In the 1990s, Julio Iglesias went back to his Spanish music
roots, and in 1996, he released a CD nicknamed Tango. He is
slowly stepping out of the limelight now and enjoying his son Enrique Iglesias' popularity, together with his long-time
companion Miranda and their two sons. In 2003, Julio Iglesias
released the Spanish album Divorcio. In its first day of sales,
Divorcio sold a record 350,000 copies in Spain; and quickly
reached the #1 spot on the charts in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy
and Russia. The remainder of 2003 and early 2004 featured a mega 10
month world tour which took Julio Iglesias, fuelled with the
success of Divorcio, from Europe and Asia to The United States,
South America and Africa. More than half the shows on the tour sold
out within days of going on sale.
In 2006, Julio Iglesias was in the studio recording a new
English album titled Romantic Classics, which is due out in the
fall of 2006. Romantic Classics is a series of the greatest
love songs in American culture, and features the hits "I want to know
what love is", "Careless Whisper" and "Right Here Waiting" all major
hits of the past 20 years. A series of promotional events, followed by
a world tour will help promote the album after its release.
