Julio Iglesias has enjoyed a Grammy-winning career spanning four decades, selling more than 300 million records in the process. Just don't suggest he's getting along in years.
"I'm a really young guy," Iglesias, 68, said in a recent phone interview. "People think I'm an old man. No, 35, 40 years old is my age."
The To All The Girls I've Loved Before singer has spent the last three years in the recording studio working on a new album entitled 1, due out Tuesday.
The double album is a compilation of 38 reworked Iglesias tracks in English and Spanish. A second version of the record features tracks in French and Spanish. It also includes duets with Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson.
"My idea was to go back to the music recorded years ago, many years ago, and I think we could really make them sound much better, much stronger," Iglesias said.
1 has already gone platinum in Spain and Brazil.
