Julio Iglesias - My Life: Greatest Hits Overview
The master of the love ballad--in at least six languages--has finally put his greatest hits, along with four new tracks, in a solid two-CD bilingual set. His early material from the 1970s is solid stuff that reminds us of Iglesias's initial allure--his voice, at once mellifluous, melancholy, and warm. His early magic is evident on such heat generators as the plaintive but ultimately uplifting "Hey," the haunting "Abrazame," and the moving "Manuela." He broke the U.S. market wide open in 1984 with the corny but impacting "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" with Willie Nelson. That song began a successful series of duets with other pop stars such as Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, and Diana Ross, all included here. Of poignant interest is "Summer Wind," sung with the late Frank Sinatra. --Ramiro Burr
Customer Reviews
It 's a pleasure listent these songs again. Julio Iglesias has his own style since the 70's and was able to upgrade through all these decades and something new every time I decided to make a new CD to add. Alone or in duet with other stars (especially those with Sinatra, Ross and Parton), it sounds like his voice perfectly and adds a distinctive richness to any song you choose to sing. I am totally satisfied!
