Iberian Spirit

 

Microphone held in his left hand, his right stroked his chest with a kind of shuddering ecstasy, or waved and snatched expressively in the air with every nuance of the melody. --  Neil McCormick, at www.telegraph.co.uk


[T]he venue was packed with... well-dressed women of a certain vintage filling the auditorium with hairspray and gushing with rapture at every sigh and croon.  -- Neil McCormick, at www.telegraph.co.uk


Julio Iglesias, superstar,

Had a career with no guitar.

He’d stand on stage alone and smolder,

Aging well, as fans grew older.


He let his Spanish feelings flow,

And seemed to let emotions go,

But watch on YouTube, and ya know,

His passion seems a little faux.
