Several years ago I had the privilege of seeing Julio Iglesias perform for two hours non-stop. We sat probably ten feet from where is was as my husband and I had a booth right in front of him. I must say, his music, his charisma and just everything about him was so romantic. I remember telling my husband that everyone there fell in love. In love with him, with life, with whoever you were with. Truly unexplainable. Enjoy!
