Early career to 1978
Julio was the son of Julio Iglesias Sr, a doctor. He was a professional football player with Real Madrid, where he played as goalkeeper. During this time, he also enrolled in law school. He had an accident that dashed his hopes of becoming a great soccer player, but during his period in bed, he started to compose songs. He received a certificate as a lawyer from Cambridge University a little later.
In 1968, he won the Benidorm International Song Festival, a songwriter's contest in Spain, and signed a contract with a Columbia Records Latin music label, Discos Columbia. He represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1970, finishing fourth behind Northern Irish singer Dana Scallon, and the Welsh singer Mary Hopkin. His entry was the song "Gwendolyne" which was his first recording. During the 1970s he married the Spanish-mestiza Philippine socialite Isabel Preysler with whom he had three children: Chabeli Iglesias, who has been a show host and is now a news reporter in Washington D.C., Enrique Iglesias, now a world-famous singer who followed in his father's footsteps, and Julio José Iglesias, a model who has released two CDs. It was during the 1970s that the Iglesias family's private life became very public, with Julio and the rest of the family frequently featured on the covers of various international magazines.
Peak of success 1978-1990
In 1978, he signed a contract for CBS International, adding English, French, Portuguese, German and Italian to his language repertoire. He had his first hit in English with a cover of "Begin the Beguine" and released a collection 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.
In 1985, his father was kidnapped but found well and alive after two agonizing weeks. This prompted Julio, who had already divorced Preysler, to move his family to Miami, Florida, where they settled in a mansion at Miami Beach. That year he also recorded duets with Diana Ross and Willie Nelson. It was rumored in 1986 that Julio, perhaps seeking to get away from all the fame and hoopla for one week, was found walking around the streets of Cayey, Puerto Rico, after disappearing for seven days. Julio feels there is a deep connection between him and Puerto Rico because one of his grandmothers was Puerto Rican.
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 on "My Love" from his Non Stop album which achieved crossover success in 1988.
Stories of Julio's expensive private jets, boats, and houses became legendary during that decade, and his world tours took him to many countries and continents around the world performing in many sold out concerts among the vast women populations.
Career 1990-today
In the 1990s, Julio 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's popularity, together with his long-time companion Miranda and their 2 sons Miguel Alejandro (September 7, 1997), Rodrigo (April 3, 1999) and twin daughters Cristina and Victoria (May 1, 2001). Julio is very amenable to signing autographs, although he can be a little difficult to reach sometimes, due to his and his family's security detail, which they have had since the 1985 kidnapping of Julio's father.
Iglesias returned to the headlines in October, 2003, when he went to Argentina and kissed show host Susana Gimenez three times during a live telecast of her show.
2003 saw the release of the Spanish album "Divorcio." (Divorce) 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 Iglesias, fuled 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, showing that fans still adore Julio.
In December of 2004, Miranda and Julio recorded a duet of the Christmas song Silent Night. The song, which was not released also included a voice message from Julio, Miranda, and their 4 young children. The song was released online through the singer's web page, and was a holiday gift from the Iglesias' to their fans around the world.
Julio has made important investments in the Dominican Republic's eastern town of Punta Cana, a major tourist destination, where he spends most of the year when he is not on tour.
Julio, Jr. has a half-brother who is 60 years younger than him. Julio's father, Julio Sr. had a child at 89 called Jaime. The birth came after a 17-year romance with Ronna, which culminated in them walking down the aisle in 2001. His wife underwent fertility treatment in order to conceive first time around and medical science is believed to have played a role in her latest pregnancy too. After little Jaime made his debut in 2004, Julio Sr. rejected suggestions Ronna was the driving force behind their decision to start a family. "At my age, a child is marvellous," he declared. "If people say I just did it for my wife, I don't take it as an insult, but the truth is I wanted it just as much as her." Julio Iglesias's father died just days after he announced he was to become a father for the fourth time at the age of 90. Julio Sr. died after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Madrid. Julio Sr. confirmed that his wife of four years, Ronna Kneit, was expecting their second child together. He said he wanted his 42-year-old partner to have something to remember him by. "My wife wanted it and I owed it to her," he explained. "It was an act of generosity towards her. I leave her part of my blood, of my life. I need her so much that I said to her 'Here, this is what you wanted for when I am gone'."
Currently, Julio is in the studio recording a new English Album titled "Romantic Classics" which is due out in September 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.
The singer's web page [1] is currently under construction, and will feature information from "Romantic Classics" when it is updated later this year.

Procura Hablarle Tu
Julio Iglesias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Explícale si puedes sin herirla,
por qué me marcho sin decirle adiós.
No soy amigo de las despedidas;
lo bello está al principio del amor.
Le dices que no ha sido una aventura,
que me ha llegado incluso a enamorar,
la vida es la culpable y nadie más.
Procura hablarle tú,
tú la conoces
mejor que yo,
procura hacerle ver,
que es imposible,
volver,
volver.
Jamás oculto a nadie mi locura,
mi forma caprichosa de querer;
que entienda y que perdone mi postura
pues ya difícilmente cambiaré.
Que sepa que no es fácil olvidarla,
que han sido noches para recordar
mas soy así, qué quieres que le haga,
no soy un ave fácil de atrapar.
The song "Procura Hablarle Tu" by Julio Iglesias tells the story of a man who is leaving his lover without saying goodbye. He asks a mutual friend to explain to her why he is leaving, without hurting her feelings. He acknowledges that he is not good at goodbyes, and that the beauty of a relationship is in its beginning.
He wants the friend to tell her that their relationship was not just a fling, and that he even fell in love with her. He urges her to forget about blame for their separation, as it was just the inevitability of life. The singer then pleads with the friend to try to help his lover understand that it is impossible for them to go back to the way things were. He finishes by admitting that he has always been open about his passionate and unpredictable approach to love, and that he hopes his lover can forgive him for leaving.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet meditation on love and the difficulties of saying goodbye. It highlights the importance of communication and understanding in relationships, as well as the value of cherishing the beauty of love in its early stages.

She should know that it is not easy to forget her, that we had unforgettable nights. But I am who I am; what do you want me to do? I am not an easy bird to catch.

LO PROMETIDO ES DEUDA ASI QUE AQUI TE DEJO LA INFORMACION SOBRE SUS INICIOS
Nació el 23 de septiembre de 1943 en Madrid (España).
Se inició en el mundo de la fama no como cantante, sino como deportista. Jugó como portero en el equipo de fútbol del Real Madrid. Quiso ser futbolista profesional mientras estudiaba Derecho en el Colegio Mayor de San Pablo.
Cuando tenía veinte años, el 22 de septiembre de 1962, sufrió un accidente de tráfico que le dejó semiparalítico durante un año y medio. El enfermero que lo cuidaba le regaló una guitarra. Julio pasaba horas enteras oyendo radio y escribiendo poemas. Versos tristes y románticos que preguntaban por la misión de los hombres en la vida.
Nunca había pensado ser cantante tras ser rechazado en el coro de su colegio.
Poco a poco aprendió a tocar la guitarra, para matar el tiempo. Cuando se recuperó, comenzó de nuevo con sus estudios y viajó a Londres para estudiar inglés, primero en Ramsgate y luego en el Bell's Language School en Cambrige. Algunos fines de semana cantaba en un "pub", el Air Port Pub, canciones que eran populares por entonces - Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck, The Beatles...- y fue allí, en Cambrige, donde conoció a Gwendolyne Bollore quien sería su novia y más tarde uno de sus éxitos musicales con una canción dedicada a ella, Gwendolyne.
Llevó su primera canción a una casa de discos para que se la dieran a un cantante. Cuando el gerente la escuchó le dijo: "¿Y por qué no la cantas tú?", y respondió: "Porque yo no soy cantante". Al final lo convencieron y el 17 de julio de 1968 ganó el Festival de Benidorm con la canción La vida sigue igual, después firmó un contrato con Discos Columbia. Al año siguiente, participó en el Festival de Brassow (Rumania) y realiza su primera gira por América; canta en el Festival de Viña del Mar (Chile) y graba su primera película: La vida sigue igual. Julio Iglesias participó en el Festival de Eurovisión en 1971 mientras es número uno en las listas de todo el mundo, desde México a Argentina y desde España hasta Japón. Pese a no ganar el festival grabó su "Gwendolyne" en cuatro idiomas y ocupó el primer lugar en las listas de éxitos de España y América Latina.
Graba en japonés su canción Como el álamo al camino (Anataro Uramo) en 1971. Al año siguiente graba su primer disco en alemán, en 1978 firma contrato con CBS Internacional y graba su primer disco en francés, y en italiano. En 1979 graba su primer álbum en portugués. Se convirtió en el cantante que más idiomas canta: alemán, inglés, francés, italiano, portugués, español, tagalog y japonés. El Libro Guinness de los Récords le entrega, en París (1983), el Disco de Diamantes por haber vendido más de cien millones de discos en seis idiomas.
En 1984 le concedieron la Estrella de la Fama siendo inmortalizado en el Hollywood Walk of Fame. En 1997 logró el Premio Mónaco de La Música como el Mejor Cantante Latino y ha sido el primer artista extranjero en la historia de China que ha recibido el prestigioso Golden Record Award, en 1995.
Julio Iglesias se convirtió en uno de los artistas más populares en todo el mundo habiendo vendido 500 millones de sus más de 80 álbumes, logrando más de 1000 discos de oro y 500 de platino.
El 20 de enero de 1971 contrajo matrimonio en la ciudad española de Toledo, con Isabel Preysler. Fruto de esa unión son sus tres hijos "Chábeli" María Isabel Julio José y Enrique Miguel. En el año 1978 el matrimonio decide separarse. El 7 de septiembre de 1997 nació su cuarto hijo, Miguel Alejandro, fruto de su noviazgo con Miranda, una bella y joven modelo holandesa. El 3 de abril de 1999 Miranda dio a luz a su segundo hijo con Julio Iglesias, Rodrigo, y en 2001 tuvieron gemelas.
El 18 de mayo de 2004, cuando tiene 61 años nació Jaime Iglesias, su segundo hermano, hijo del Dr. Iglesias y de Ronna Keitt.
Julio Iglesias se casó el 24 de agosto de 2010 en Marbella con Miranda Miranda Rijnsburger, su compañera sentimental desde hacía 20 años
