Julio Iglesias (born Julio José Iglesias de la Cueva; September 23, 1943) is a Spanish singer and songwriter who has sold over 300 million records worldwide in 14 languages and released 80 albums, and more than 2,600 gold and platinum records certified. According to Sony Music Entertainment, he is one of the top 5 best-selling music artists in history.

The son of a doctor, Iglesias obtained his law degree at his father's behest. However, he is not known ever to have practiced law; in the earliest years of his young adulthood, after college, he was a European-football goalkeeper for Real Madrid Castilla. He has said of those years, "I had more courage and drive than talent." These were sorely tested when he was involved in a car crash that smashed his lower spine; his legs were permanently weakened as a direct result, and they still required therapy as of early November 2012. During his hospitalization, a nurse gave him a guitar that he might have something to do with his hands. In learning to play, he discovered his musical talent.
