Enrique Iglesias

"Hero"

(2001)
.

Genre:Latin Pop

This song by Enrique certainly made me shut the **** up over this genre. I was totally beligerant of this music thinking it was scratch & sniff music. I am now glad i was wrong, and i am also glad this particular song made me see that.

"At the dawn of the new millennium, Enrique Iglesias was the best-selling Latin recording artist in the world. The son of multimillion-selling singer Julio Iglesias, Enrique was born in Madrid, Spain, where he lived with his mother, his brother Julio, and his sister Chabeli. In 1982, his mother sent them to live in Miami with their father. While there, Enrique was exposed to three different cultures and musical influences -- Hispanic, European, and American"

"Enrique Iglesias (1996), sold more than a million copies in three months (it earned him his first gold record in Portugal in a mere seven days) and to date has sold more than six million worldwide. The second album, Vivir (1997), enjoyed global sales of more than five million discs and launched his first world tour, backed by sidemen for Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Joel. In a mere three years, Iglesias had sold more than 17 million Spanish-language albums, more than anyone else during that period. (The U.S. was his biggest market.) He also won the 1996 Grammy for Best Latin Performer, 1996's Billboard Artist of the Year, Billboard's Album of the Year for Vivir, two American Music Awards, a World Music Award, eight Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, two ACE Performer of the Year Awards, and ASCAP prizes for Best Composer of 1996 and 1997, in addition to countless accolades around the world. "

"The music video featured Iglesias as an honorable criminal hunted by his enemies and the police. Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared as his love interest.
Iglesias performed the song live on the benefit concert America: A Tribute to Heroes ten days after the September 11, 2001 attacks"
