In 1986, Willie Nelson recorded "To All The Girls I've Loved Before" with whom?

The story behind the answer

Willie Nelson recorded “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before” with Julio Iglesias. Their duet became one of the best-known crossovers between American country music and international pop.

The song was written by Hal David and Albert Hammond and first recorded by Hammond in 1975. Nelson and Iglesias’s version appeared on Iglesias’s 1984 album 1100 Bel Air Place and became a major hit in both the United States and Canada.

The duet reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart and No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also helped introduce Iglesias more strongly to English-speaking audiences, while giving Nelson one of his biggest international successes.

A common mix-up is the date: some Willie Nelson listings connect the song with his 1986 compilation album Love Songs, but the famous Nelson-Iglesias recording and hit single date from 1984. The singing partnership itself is unambiguous.
