This special live DVD features Martin's unique blend of comedy and bluegrass and is a first class evening of excellent entertainment. Nelson is the winner of 9 CMA awards including Album of the Year twice, but curiously, never accepted the coveted trophy for Male Vocalist of the Year.Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers, featuring Edie Brickell, will release their first ever live concert DVD capturing their extraordinary performance at the historic Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside California last fall. Listen to Spanish Eyes by Julio Iglesias & Willie Nelson, 20,181 Shazams, featuring on Willie Nelson: Deep Cuts, and Julio Iglesias: The Duets Apple Music playlists. The unlikely duo returned to CMA prominence in 1984, when they earned the Vocal Event of the Year honor. “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before” eventually became the #1 most-played song on country radio in 1984. Since the 1983 ceremony, Jewel & Merle Haggard, Elton John & Dolly Parton and Little Richard & Tanya Tucker, among others, have all joined forces on the CMA stage. Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, actor, and activist.The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. The unlikely duet between the Madrid-born balladeer and the earthy country crooner made an international star out of an artist who was already the most popular singer in the Spanish. 1100 Bel Air Place finally appeared in August 1984. Julio Iglesias couldn’t have seemed any more suave when he joined Willie Nelson for To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before, a surprise global smash in 1984. Willie Nelson wasn’t selling To All the GirlsJulio Iglesias was. And the moment seemingly spawned, for better or worse, the cross-pollination of genres in numerous future CMA performances. Julio, meanwhile, had no English-language LP at the ready, which from the retailers’ point of view was a massive fuckup: The single was outselling Willie’s album (which didn’t contain the song) two-to-one. Its almost-campy quality notwithstanding, the performance of “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before” still stands as a demonstration of country music’s ability to touch those in other genres of music, and at that time demonstrated the cultural pervasiveness of Nelson and his ability to blend with just about anybody.

Although the song failed to meet with the highest critical acclaim, it was proof positive that genre boundaries can be eliminated with the talent of two strong artists. The union of two styles of music can often produce dramatically interesting results, and so it was with the 1983 performance of “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before,” an eventual #1 single for the Red Headed Stranger and the Latin pop icon Julio Iglesias.
