1. Julio??? He isn't what you consider a few hit wonder...

those are artist that are around for 1 or 2 albums then gone from the face of the earth. Julio had a very long and successful career...now having said that...I can't stand him. Also,Burl Ives was an actor who also sang....can't count that one either. If your gonna do that then include Bob Hope...yes thats right Bob Hope had a hit in the 50's with "Buttons and Bows".

2. Umm, dude....

You do realize that you're getting all worked up over Julio Iglesias and Burl Ives? That may be a symptom of a much deeper problem! :evilgrin:
