Julio Inglesias Jewish?

[Reyzl Kalifowicz-Waletzky <reyzl...>]

Sorry guys for bringing up this kind of "heritage" issue.   But I went 
to http://www.zipple.com/ and found there a list of "Jewish Musicians 
and Composers".  Julio Inglesias is included in the list. Julio 
Inglesias is Jewish?  How?  Where from?   I am not necessarily a fan 
of his but am just surprised to learn this.   Now that I know this, I 
may listen to that romantic shmalts differently.

Wolf, Bob, if he really is Jewish, do we now have discuss whether his music is 
Jewish?  Oy.

Van Halen too?
Blondie?

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency recently wrote that Mel Torme, who just died 
was Jewish.   Never knew that.

   "Torme, who died Saturday at 73 of complications from a stroke he 
   suffered in 1996, was born to Russian Jewish immigrant parents on 
   Chicago's South Side. 

   Immigration officials had changed the family's name from Torma to 
   Torme. 

   In an interview some years ago, the singer recalled that he and his 
   family would sit on the front stoop after Sabbath dinner and sing 
   for the neighbors."
