Description

This extraordinary 1994 episode brings together two of music’s most iconic voices: Canadian folk-rock legend Joni Mitchell and Spanish romantic balladeer Julio Iglesias. Joni Mitchell, fresh off her 1990s career resurgence with the critically acclaimed Night Ride Home (1991), discusses her upcoming Grammy Award-winning album Turbulent Indigo (1994), which would thrust her back into the spotlight and earn her several Grammy Awards. One of the greatest singer-songwriters of the 20th century, Mitchell was just three years away from her 1997 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Having already been honored with induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1981 and recipient of the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement in 1996, Mitchell represents the pinnacle of Canadian artistic excellence. Julio Iglesias, recognized as one of the best-selling music artists of all time with over 300 million records sold worldwide in 14 languages, discusses his remarkable career spanning continents and cultures. His 1996 album Tango would revisit classic tangos of the early twentieth century, while his 1991 album Starry Night went gold. The Grammy Award-winner and Guinness World Records holder for best-selling male Latin artist shares insights into maintaining a five-decade international career. Also featured: author James Garner discussing his satirical book “Politically Correct Bedtime Stories,” which lampooned political correctness through reimagined fairy tales and became a surprise bestseller. A remarkable convergence of musical royalty and literary satire.
