Product Description . desertcart.com 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 Review: An Outstanding Collection - Now you are bound to ask why a Beatlemaniac, Prog-Rocker, Classic Rock aficionado has purchased and is reviewing JULIO IGLESIAS MY LIFE? The answer is simple my friends, I have toes dipped into other waters, like jazz, classical, swing, folk, and country. I also happen to be a huge fan of The Rat Pack and pop vocalists like Dusty Springfield, Harry Belafonte, Harry Nilsson, Celine Dion and yes Julio (I am half Puerto Rican on my mother's side and grew up with quite a bit of this kind of music in my home). I also have a wife who adores Julio and we had several vinyl albums to replace, but this Double CD set seemed to have everything we wanted on it! Now for fans, surprise! Surprise! Julio had no comprehensive hits collection until the release of this and frankly this bargain for the casual to more than casual fan offers a 37 course meal which you might want to take in slowly, in stages, for fear of wearing your affection thin. All of his greatest hits, his very popular duets, and more than a few "fan favorites" are represented in this collection which is split (also thankfully) into two discs, the first being the mainly English language appeals, and the second being his Latin Hits. What is especially thankful to have are two particular duets: Summer Wind with Ol' Blue Eyes himself, and that awful cantankerous To All The Girls I've Loved Before duet with Willie Nelson, the song we all love to hate but have a habit of secretly imbibing when no one is looking. There is no denying that Julio has "the voice", you know what I mean, the timbre and inflection which caused all the girls to melt, especially on songs like Me Va Me Va, and his covers of classics like My Way, or modern classics like Sting's Fragile can either soothe or upset you, depending upon your disposition. But Julio is a smooth crooner, a cross cultural romance icon, and the man can sing in six languages, so combined with a Sinatra-esque ability to pick hit material, he has to be cited as a musical force to admire. If you are a die-hard Iglesias fan, this package is probably already covered by your collection with the exception of a couple duets, and if you Must Have those, then I guess you will be buying this anyway. Mastering of the recordings is exceptional, terrific sound quality and impressive engineering, any fan of MUSIC should appreciate this. My only qualm with this set is that he was pretty brazen to take on Pavarotti's great song Caruso (written by Lucio Dalla) which appeared on '94's CRAZY and Julio just doesn't have the vocal muscle to carry it off anywhere as nearly comparable to Luciano's version, so I didn't care to see it included on the set, but it scored a "hit" for Julio regardless so... I actually enjoy the Latin language disc more than the "English" (it does have some Spanish and other languages but is geared to English language listeners) as the songs are less adult contemporary radio pop to my ears. Regardless this is an outstanding collection for anyone who wants a simple yet expansive package of Julio Iglesias representing his career. Review: Amazing diverse 2 cd compilation - Fantastic condition that arrived sooner than expected. Will definitely use this seller again.

Beautiful CD
My parents came from Mexico to visit my husband & I to Seattle recently. I gave this CD to my dad who has always been a good fan of Mr. Julio Iglesias. My dad absolutely loved the CD. I think this is the most complete CD of Mr. Julio Iglesias in regards to his best hits.

Julio Iglesias - My Life: Greatest Hits
This is mellow music. It is enjoyable for a rainy day and want to chill out. Some of the songs on the album or CD are in Spanish. It really didn't matter to me as the background music was so nice.
