As Spain’s representative in the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest, the young Iglesias excelled at this early opportunity to show his charisma, his uncommon control as a vocalist and his ability to transcend music’s territorial borders. Indeed, Iglesias found fame even before he began singing love songs, starting out as a football player in the mid-‘60s before an injury prematurely ended his career. The unlikely duet between the Madrid-born balladeer and the earthy country crooner made an international star out of an artist who was already the most popular singer in the Spanish-speaking world. Julio Iglesias couldn’t have seemed any more suave when he joined Willie Nelson for “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before”, a surprise global smash in 1984.
