GWENDOLYNE
JULIO IGLESIAS
Spain -1970
Eurovision has proved an
effective launching pad for a musical career. In 1970, Julio Iglesias was
virtually unknown beyond his homeland Spain. His song was a self-penned ballad
entitled “Gwendolyne”. He was hoping to secure Spain a 3rd
consecutive victory but had to be content with equal 4th position.
By the following year, he had sold 1 million discs. Iglesias remains 1 of the
best selling Latin artists. His son Enrique has followed in his father’s
footsteps.
