Sounds of Spain - Enrique Iglesias

In the music industry, there is a sense of title ownership while still attracting a global audience.  For example, Madonna is known as the queen of pop.  Aretha Franklin is known as the queen of soul.  Michael Jackson will forever define the king of pop.  

In this post, however, Enrique Iglesias is considered to the be the king of Latin pop.  I am, then, honoring Spain as a strong musical influence.

In essence, Enrique Iglesias is a Spanish singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer.  His success is split between Latin America and the Hispanic audience in the United States.
