Re: Julio Iglesias, Love Songs Full Album Zip
Gifford Brickley
Love Songs is an English language compilation of mainly love songs by Julio Iglesias released in 2004. It contains his greatest English language hit - his duet with Willie Nelson on "To All The Girls I've Loved Before" which reached the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100. It also features a duet with Dolly Parton on "When You Tell Me You Love Me" as well as a live version of "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca. Iglesias departs from the love song theme on the album with a version of Don McLean's "Vincent" ("Starry Starry Night").
This past weekend Julio was featured on a new episode of the nationally syndicated hit TV show THE SONG, where he sat down for an interview along with Rudy Perez and performed songs from his new album.
"When you get to the 35-year mark in your career you make albums for your fans to love you more so they don't forget about you" Iglesias told The Associated Press during an interview at his waterfront mansion on an island north of Miami Beach.
The title may seem strange for a lover but the album's songs -- Iglesias' trademark ballads plus lively cumbia and Caribbean rhythms -- refer to divorce from worldly possessions old acquaintances and bad memories.
"Divorcio" sold 200000 copies in Spain the day it was released adding to Iglesias' career total of more than 250 million albums sold. And the master of crossover plans to record songs from the album in French Italian and English as he has done previously to expand his international appeal.
Appearing on Tuesday's Valentine's Day episode of Tamron Hall to promote his new album Under the Covers, the singer revealed that he plays his famous father's iconic love songs to set the tone for romance with his new girlfriend, fashion model Vivi Di Domenico.
More than 100 million records sold, 965 gold records, 350 platinum records, more than 2,200 live concerts, about 800 TV appearances in 69 countries, 57 albums and 340 recorded songs in seven languages. Is there any singer anywhere who can top that?
Two come close: Momentos (Moments), from an album recorded in Spanish, French and Italian in 1982 and rereleased by CBS Records after the success of 1100 Bel Air Place two years ago, made it to the No. 1 spot on the charts in an unbelievable 90 countries at one time or another. The single Momentos, the exquisitely melancholic lead song, reminisces about a romance that was, and both laments and acknowledges the passing of love.
