Julio Iglesias
You probably know who Enrique Iglesias is, though you should not sleep on his father Julio! Like his son, he is a wonderful singer-songwriter as well. Hailing from Madrid, the older Iglesias has recorded songs in 14 languages, sold over 250 million records, and won many accolades. He earned international renown with his Latin pop songs, but his list of talents does not end there. When he was younger, he took up law and played pro football! Although he was doing well as an athlete, he got into a car accident that put a stop to his sports career. The incident led him to study the guitar to regain some dexterity. And as they say, the rest is history.
