Son of a doctor (who expected said son to follow in his medical footsteps), would-be footballer whose music career ultimately springboarded from an injury that destroyed that dream, not-winner of Eurovision…
…chose his own path…
…altered his route in response to circumstances outside his control…
…and gained fame as a celebrated international music artist.

Takeaways:
You do not have to be what anyone else wants you to be.
When life throws you a curveball, you can choose to hit it out of the park.
Just because you aren’t declared a ‘winner’ by someone else’s standards doesn’t mean you don’t have a voice. (Use it.)

Interesting facts about Julio Iglesias. Learn something new everyday.
Sometimes the musician’s back story is just as good as the music itself. 🙂

Nooooo… i don’t have to tell you that that was his FAVouRiTE song right?! I can’t even begin to estimate how many times I’ve heard him singing along to it. Also, Crazy, and Moonlight Lady. 🙂 Bless him.
Wow, I did not know all that about Julio Eglesias, since I only know his music and his kids. What a story.
It *is* quite a story!
Love the takeaways there, so true!

I have a soft spot for Julio – my Mum was a fan and I spent a nice few hours with a lover of mine – when younger – listening to many of his albums

I know him well by name but never listened much to his music. I didn’t know about his background, though – respect for someone who manages to go his own way and create his own path!

It’s so good that Julio Iglesias did not become a doctor or a football player. Otherwise we would have lost such a wonderful singer. All around the signs 🙂
