At age 66, Julio Iglesias remains a class act who pours soul and passion into his singing. His sold-out performance tonight at the 1,200-seat Rogers Theater at the Gallo Center for the Arts brought the audience to their feet. Appearing with a six-piece band, Iglesias sang a mix of Spanish and English hits, chatting in between in English with the crowd during his hour-long set. He made everything more interesting by including three gorgeous backup singers- two of whom did some sexy solo dancing for him. Ever the charmer, he joked that the 19-year-olds South American beautys were too old for him. A pair of talented tango dancers added some heat to the show, performing some steamy moves during many of the songs. Iglesias sang everything in a smooth, romantic style, adding his own Latin twist to such classics as Patsy Cline's "Crazy," Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love With You," "All of You" and more. Of course, he sang his biggest hit "To All the Girls I've Loved Before." He has an undeniable charisma and stage presence. It's not surprising that he has been able to maintain a 40-year international career.
