Enrique Iglesias

He currently dates professional tennis star Anna Kournikova. Details of George's singles and albums can be found at George Jones (http://www.georgejones.com/music/index.htm). Iglesias has won numerous awards during his career as a singer, including the Grammy. He spends up to 165 days a year on the road. In 2001, he released his English CD, "Enrique", with its song, Hero, becoming a number one hit in many countries. Despite the hard living, hard drinking past, George Jones continues to make albums and play to his loyal fans. Iglesias' "Rhythm Divine" became a number 1 hit. In his biography I lived to Tell It All, published in 1996, Jones sets out a chronicle of his life and his bad behaviour.

By 1999, Iglesias had begun a successful cross-over career into the English music market. The pair were married in 1983 and they live outside the town of Franklin, Tennessee. In 1997, Iglesias' star continued to rise with the release of Vivir, which put him up in sales with other, English music superstars for that year. It was his fourth (and present) wife, Nancy Sepulvado, whom Jones credits for rescuing him from the bottle. His song Por Amarte was included in Televisa's telenovela Marisol, but with a twist: instead of saying por amarTE yo moriría (to love YOU, I'd die), it said por amarte MARISOL moriría (to love you MARISOL, I'd die). The pair were married in 1969 and performed a string of duets together but Tammy could not keep him off the booze and after a turbulent relationship the couple divorced in 1975. Titled Enrique Iglesias, it included mega-hits Por Amarte, Trapecista, and others. His third wife, Tammy Wynette, was the passion of his life.

In 1996, he released his first album in Spanish. During this period, he missed so many booked engagements that he was known as "No-Show" Jones. Months later, he was signed by Fonovisa and went to Toronto to record his first CD in total anonymity. His self-destructive bent brought him close to death and from the height of fame in the '70s to the inside of a mental hospital in Alabama at the end of the decade. It was with that pseudonym that he promoted his demos across Central America. In the mid 1970s he added cocaine to whiskey. Iglesias first performed while in high school, in Hello Dolly. While attending the University of Miami, he went into an audition with his future manager, using the name Enrique Martínez. Jones' drinking was legendary and for a great part of his life he woke up to a Bloody Mary and spent the rest of the day drinking bourbon.

After the kidnapping of Iglesias' grandfather in Spain, Enrique moved to Miami, in 1985. While in Miami, Enrique enjoyed the luxuries of being the son of a billionaire, but he developed a taste for simpler things, a fact that would later surface in his concerts, where he appeared plainly in all white, including white cotton shirts. "Why Baby Why" was his first top-five hit in 1955. He is the brother of Chabeli Iglesias and Julio José Iglesias. By age 24, he had been married twice, served in the Marines and developed his skills as a country musician and singer. Iglesias is the son of the famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias and of Spanish-mestiza Philippine socialite Isabel Preysler. He was born with a broken arm in Saratoga, Texas and grew up in the settlements north of Beaumont around the Big Thicket. Enrique Iglesias (born May 8, 1975 in Madrid, Spain) is a Miami-based Spanish singing sensation and multi-million album seller. George Glenn Jones (born September 12, 1931) nicknamed The Possum, is an American country singer.
