JULIO IGLESIAS: “BEGIN THE BEGUINE”

Perhaps the greatest test of a song is its ability to survive Disco. This 1981 version in Spanish was a huge hit in the UK and made this man a star.

Julio Iglesias: “Begin the Beguine”

[MinuteGal]

Decades ago, I heard the very handsome Julio Iglesias sing "Begin the Beguine" in a concert venue with thousands in the audience. He didn't "croon" the song this particular time....he didn't hold back belting out the song with such strength, passion and tonal talent that he brought down the house. I'll never forget that performance.

I'm so grateful to you for posting the link to another one of his renditions of this wonderful Porter song...and I hope that others click on the link to hear some REAL SINGING! You'll be rewarded if you do !
